Late 2021 vibes about Carlton unfortunately.

Nah, Melbourne had 2018 before any success in finals.

Carlton hasn't played in finals for 10 years, unless the AFL is working something up with the umpires? 🤔

    At least when we fell 40 points down late in 2021 it was to a preliminary finalist, not a currently bottom 4 side!

    What happens when you don't put your best defender on the oppo's best forward and take too long to realise the mistake

    The premiership race is so wide open this year it’s not even funny.

    Can easily see Carlton winning the flag now.

    Brisbane are hopeless at the G. Collingwood are looking wobbly, Port aren’t convincing. Who knows about us?

    I don’t want them to win the flag, but an impartial observer would concede that they’re in the hunt.

    Is this what you mean? I assume you're referring to Melbourne's late season form that year. The Blues will likely have to do it for one more game than Melbourne did. But yes, they're a very dangerous side and you'd be crazy to put them outside your top 3 form teams right now. They'd have to remain "up" for another 6 weeks though, after already being up for over 2 months.

    Really need to dump the stand rule.

    Such a massive advantage to the player with the ball with the umps taking far too long to call play on 90% of the time.

    It's become a horrid eye sore that gifts the possession team too many cheap advantages and goals.

    Charlie Cameron racially vilified last night at the footy by a supporter. Now being investigated. Honestly. It’s a disgrace.

    Meanwhile it's business as usual at the Wind Tunnel (Casey) in our women's practice match vs Hawthorn. Dees are currently 6 goals 15 behinds vs Hawthorn just 6 behinds midway through the last quarter.

    Biggest waste of money in AFL history are the Suns. Tassie should have their licence.

    This an embarrassing capitulation and I expected nothing less 

    This should be viewed as the Suns being dreadful rather than Carlton continuing on their winning ways, but the narrative won't reflect that.

    Not that it matters for the Suns as they're just spinning their wheels until Hardwick gets there, as they have been for 10 years.

    For a team with 900 first round draft picks they are useless.

    He would be nice cover for Petty up one end in a few years time.

    If I was a Carlton supporter that sound effect after a Suns goal would drive me nuts .

     

    Spare a thought for the Suns supporter who has to hear it a couple of times every week.

    • 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.
