They could possibly do this if Carlton decides they’ve had enough 

GWS are going to throw the kitchen sink at Carlton… would be very bad if a certain full forward got injured in the next 30 minutes.

    Carlton's best is very good, but their worst is horrible.

    Looking forward to Gerard Whateley's power rankings now. He's been riding the Carlton horse very hard for weeks. Surely it's time to roll back that choice.

    Carlton of 2023 is Melbourne of 2018. If they're lucky they get to skip their 2019, but even so they'll still need some experience and no pandemic to come good next year.

    I really hope Carlton go back to their old selves. They need a jolly rogering after two weeks ago.

    Toby Bedford is having such a good year. I wish we could have kept him.

    He looks like he had a good weights session over the pre-season, looks much stronger this year.

    Yes I was sorry to see Toby leave, but IMO Chin is a better player for the team and structure.

    Way to go Blues, you're useless 

    Are you saying this as though it is a bad thing?

    Giants pumping the Blues whilst thinking about the Bulldogs.

    I'm low-key rapt the Doggies are out of the finals now too.

    We were even after the prelim of 2021, and in fact I recall the dogs were favourites.

    Fast forward 2 years and they really need to re-examine what they're doing. I think it starts at the top and they need to get rid of Luke Beveridge. Nothing against him and nothing against the dogs, but he's been there a long time and has a coaching style that wears thin after all the tricks have been used.

    Interesting offseason for them (yes I'm aware this isn't the kennel but I have opinions about the dogs).

    Carlton have gotten a bunch of so-called "A-graders" back in the past couple of weeks but have lost a lot of their magic edge. Very close to 3 losses in a row.

    I hope for Carlton's sake that Michael Voss takes a microscope to the last 3 weeks and identifies which of the big names should play VFL until they can bring what the lesser lights are able to do with such good success for the past 10 weeks.

    What’s his coaching style @Chook?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
