I'd like this scenario too actually. Rematches are always fun.

We had to do it in 1990 against Hawthorn. Won both games, but they were brutal and we had nothing else left in the tank.

    What would make me laugh is if carlton beat GWS tmmrw and then go on and lose the elim to the dogs.

    That's still one of my favourite finals wins. I was so scared that the mighty Hawks would roll us in the 2nd half but I was just a dumb little kid at the time.

    In other news sure to stir the pot I'm happy to see Tex Walker take the lead in the Coleman. Gives us something to watch if our game is a dead rubber.

    Gee, Tex is so good to watch when he's on. 

    9.4 tonight takes him to 76 goals for the season. Sam Taylor has a big job on Curnow tomorrow.

    Some good players exiting West Coast in Hurn, Shuey and Nic Nat. All great to watch over the journey.

    The game was on youtube a while ago

    It is played at Grand Final pressure

    Curnow has not been held goalless all season and last time Carlton played GWS in Sydney, Curnow kicked 2 so I would say the odds are in Charlie's favour for Coleman Medal No. 2. He needs 1 goal to draw level with Tex, 2 goals to win it outright.

    I hope he's kept goalless just quietly.

    Same. I like Tex and I’d love to see him take it out instead of Charlie.

    I could see it happen too. The Dogs have heaps of finals experience and are a different side in September. Carlton have started to dip and are finals virgins-so-to-speak.

    One of the only times you'll find me barracking for Footscray.

    It's been an awesome resurgence and I'll be happy to see him finally make the AA team. Was hard being a key forward in the time of Buddy, Hawkins, Jack R and Josh Kennedy but he's had s great career.

    Such a shame the Croms have been denied Finals, purely because of AFL Pig Headed incompetence 

    Adelaide would be far more entertaining than Footscray

    Brisbane faced a very determined St Kilda to day but the maggots ensured the Saints didn't really have any chance.

    In so doing Brisbane, i think, have two consecutive home games.

    Likewise. The umpires’ darlings from 2016-2022. Had almost 50 more free kicks to their opposition in the 2016 finals series, the Grand Final itself being the tip of the iceberg, especially in the last half when the game was on the line. The one Premiership I genuinely look back at and think, that wasn’t just.

    I would love the Dees to have such a goalkicking key forward. 

    Tex was very getable too at the end of 2022. No club wanted to touch him though for PR reasons after that incident which saw him banished and publicly shamed. We should have offered him a contract, he would have come knowing it was a more likely route to success in the final stages of his career.

    That wouldn’t happen.

    The Dogs struggled to beat Geelong’s VFL side last night.

    It was probably only match fitness of Cat’s younger guys in the last quarter that gave Dogs the win.

    They look an unhappy team.

    Saints supporters would be barracking for us today.

    If we win, they’ll get a home final in Melbourne.

    If we lose, not only do they have to go to Sydney in week 1 (unless GWS win by 11 goals) they’ll also have to travel to the loser of Port or Brisbane in week 2.

    How much would Port have to win by to take 2nd off Brisbane?

    250 points me thinks.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
