Carlton fans celebrating like they won a flag

I guess when you’re a club that’s been on the bottom for 20 years this is like a flag for you.

    We really miss Petty already. He would have taken a few marks we sorely missed tonight. Maybe in that last minute. 

    Securing top 2 will be tricky now, especially playing a desperate Swans over there in the final round.

    The baggers locked it up well at the end, unfortunately that last call will always be contentious depending on which side of the fence you sit. Not happy Jan! Really just needed to kick a bit straighter. Lot of difference between 8.8 and 10.6

    Well that sucked hard after being on such a high after the Matilda’s game.

    Those three quick goals at the start of the last hurt.

    Can’t wait to hear all about Carlton in the media this week 😒

    Said it last week. Losing Petty will cost us a flag. We are not going to kick the scores we need against quality opposition without a decent power forward.

    JVR’s legs taken from under him.

    The advanced hair treatment has gone to Ray’s head - had some absolute howlers.

    I know the goal line decisions going to be the main talking point but really we have so many problems that need addressing before worrying about that. 
     

    Selection on a greasy/wet night was not great.

    Still love bomving it long to outnumbered or out sized contests.

    Players don’t shepherd for each other, don’t do the hard yards for each other.

    Max whinges more than the whole of England. Also flops around like a fish out of water.

    Salem has some of the worst disposals I’ve seen in a long time. He was once elite at hitting a target now he is elite at panicking and butchering the ball.

    As bizarre as it sounds Petty out might cost us any chance.

    Robbed.

    We didn't play our best and were beaten around the clearance. Carlton players running hard to be everywhere.

    But.... We Gave it everything. Very proud of our players for their effort.

    .We had players tripped. Last goal to Carlton for a push in the back was followed by numerous Melbourne's players just driven face first into the turf.

    We didn't get a HTB all night did we?

    That was not touched. The video review 2001 Dick Smith webcam systems are farcical.

    rooouted.

    Come on Dee supporters dont give them baggers any reason to gloat. JUst nod and say see you in September. There will be lots of nashing of teeth over the last touched call. But games are won over 100 minutes not just one. Both teams were good tonight, it was a great  warm up for the finals. 

    Move on to the Hawks next week

    You wouldn't be saying that if it was a final its a flawed system, just get the decisions you can right that's what the videos for.

    Not sure how they missed that, pretty clearly took him below the knee and it wasn’t a smother. Annoying.

    Should have found a way to win that. On the other hand we could not have been more fumbley or dropped more marks, the other mob will never have so much go right again.  2nd spot is going to be hard to get now unless the Pies can knock off the Lions next week.

    Hell of a game.

    Carlton can win the flag.

    Score review sucks.

    We looked 100 times better once Jordon was off, Hibberd went back and Smith forward similar to what the smart ones here (me) proposed all week because the overall balance was so much better.

    Grundy isn’t a forward but he’s an excellent ruck and stemmed the centre clearance bleeding in the last quarter which ultimately lost us the game.

    You are right on Grundy, was better than Max when in the ruck.

    Thought JVR played his heart out tonight. Such good signs of things to come. 
     

    Still backing us come September.

    Yes we'll miss Petty but need more from mids in stoppages, Vines aside. Hated our cute floaty kicks that get intercepted. Loved Rivers.

    Whether it was touched or not, we'll never know for sure. But we were NOT robbed. Carlton were the better side and but for poor finishing and some great defence by May and Lever would have been five goals ahead by quarter-time. If anyone is looking for blame, just re-run that awful first quarter. I'd just say two things: (1) James Jordon is a long way from  premiership quality. (2) Gawn and Grundy is a same-day mix that has more minuses than plusses.

    FFS umpiring didn’t cost us that game. 
     

    Carlton were hungrier for 99.9% of the contest. Facts.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
