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%).

    How good to see Carlton go down.

    Gf eligibility out the window.

    We were 33 down to North two weeks ago.

    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
