Carlton kissed on the [censored] yet again. Could win the flag on luck. Everything is falling their way.

    What a disappointing miss by Anderson. GC always find ways to lose.

    I’m glad I put $20 on Carlton to make top 4 after last week. Genuinely will need to drink myself to sleep if those cheating Carlton [censored] take our spot.

    Him and Sexton both had shots that should have been goals.

    Anderson was genuinely horrible in that game. Had he brought his usual contribution they’d have won by 3 goals.

    Yeah the Sexton miss was shocking.

    Another 4 point win on the siren to the AFL poster boys.

    #%#%# Carlton aka C.Curnow. Kicks 5 and then marks deep in Suns fwd line. ffs

    Dees better be on their game tomorrow or we're heading South to 5th. Carlton is on a roll. Everything is going right for them.

    That was Carlton’s banana peel. 

    They will blow GWS off the park now that they have the confidence and the lock into finals. 

    Do not count your chickens. We must beat Hawthorn tomorrow. 

    I said a week ago our entire season is on the line against Hawthorn

    Did GC tank today?

    That's the only way not playing Collins on Curnow from the get go makes any sense.

    Curnow has 33.11 in the last 8 games (ave of >4/game)

    Easily the best fwd in the game and the only one capable of kicking 100 goals imo

    Cool. 

    Hardly radical thinking though. Everyone expected Carlton to beat Gold Coas

    Curnow destroyed them

    He sure is good at beating up on the bottom teams eh!

    In case you missed it the goal that eventually won Carlton the game was off the back of one of the more blatant throws all season.

    Did not even rate a mention by the commentators.

    I swear i saw twice in the last 2-3 minutes that free kicks were paid against a Carlton player, when the player had the ball in his hands, and he just dropped it to the ground - no 50 paid. In each case out would have brought the GC player within about 15 m of the goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
