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.

Fox could not be cheering harder for Carlton. Absolutely pukeworthy. At Gil's request of course.

    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.

    Like us last week. Paid nothing when it could change the result.

    Carlton to finish 5th and get rolled by 8th placed Giants.  Put it in the book.

    Everyone talking up the Blues but the other form team the Giants are a serious team.   Will be tough to beat in finals

    100%. Their defense is amazing. They just don’t have the fan support.

    Latest results and form suggest we may be better off finishing fourth than third. I'd fancy meeting the Pies at the MCG rather than a possible trip to a Brisbane side running hot, especially if Daicos and Moore are still out for the first week.

    They just know they’ve got Essendon beaten for pace. They run away from the stoppage.

    Bombers have been lame ducks for a while now.  Scraped over the line against two of the worst sides in VFL/AFL history.  Their form is putrid.  Collingwood would need another 6 of their best dozen out to lose to these guys next week. Hard to judge the Giants when they are playing witches hats, but I do hope they belt Carlton next week.

    At least we can be confident the pies will beat the bombers. All we have to do is beat the third bottom side.

    Edited by Roost it far

    Who remembers the top 4 bombers??! 8 wins 4 losses

    easy draw all year.  aside from north and WC they have won 1 game since round 12

    Suck on it.  hard

    I hate carlton. The only good finish to the year for them is to win next week and finish 5th which will be 10 wins in a row then lose the elim by a point. That would provide me with a great laugh.

    Faark Carlton, can’t stand them.

    The only good thing this weekend is Essendon adding to the days without a finals win.

    Our loss to Essendon this year is the only one that is truly inexcusable IMO. We played like absolute garbage. I’m still mad about it!

    I agree.  Carlton's form has dropped

    Giants will likely be 9th desperate to play finals and Blues with not much to play for assuming we beat the Hawks

    Giants, Lions, Pies, Dees, Blues... Everyone is trying to pick the flag winner 5 weeks out.

    No one has a clue who will win it, and anyone who thinks they do is underestimating the evenness of the competition.

    This is really cheering me up

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
