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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
