This week and next I'll be barracking for whatever combination of results see Carlton tipped out of the 8. 

They need to lose both games and Adelaide and GWS to win both games?

    Is there a scenario Carlton can miss the 8?

    Yes, they need to lose both games of course. Then 2 or 3 teams to win both remaining games.

    I’m worried about how flat Carlton are. Last week was a very hard game. I hope we don’t come out this flat. 

    It won't make a difference if Carlton lose. Although a win for Gawn would be good.

    A young team travelling after being up for two months is different than us on our home ground with two running changes. Plus we're fitter.

    Yes. 

    They have to lose twice. Then requires some results to be precise because the chasing pack play each other a bit. Easiest option is for GWS to beat Essendon, St Kilda to win once, Dogs to win both games (ie beat Geelong next week), and then Sydney wins twice or wins once but makes up the percentage (about 5%).

    True but that was North. Gold Coast is miles ahead and made Brisbane look second rate three weeks ago.

    Carlton's grand final was last week.

    Logically, yes. 

    I’ll still wait a bit longer before I feel like they aren’t capable of pulling it back.

    Adelaide can't overtake them ED14. All it might take is for St Kilda & Sydney to win one and GWS to win both, one of which is against Carlton. Then they could get tipped out on %.

    Looking to work it through the corridor by hand and foot wherever possible.

    Contesting hard when they need to but also taking the gane on once they win the ball.

    Great footy to watch

    Choll, Whitts, Rowell, Miller & Flanders all very  good so far

    Gold Coast is 90 levels above North. You literally cannot compare these two sides.

    Soft frees galore for Carlton. Almost as if HQ gave the directive.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
