What’s his coaching style @Chook? 

Us vs them, backs against the walls from what I've heard.

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

    Bruise free Blues. 

    Bedford seems to be doing ANB's role to pressure up the field. Doing a great job for them. Yeah you're right, Chandler is a better fit.

    It’s all emotion, which makes it difficult when they shank one of their own like Rohan Smith. 

    I reckon the dogs are cooked.

    With the Doggies missing the finals I think that is also the end of The Pornstar, Lukie Boy.

    GWS will have no fears against St Kilda down here. I might stick some money on GWS to make a Prelim.

    Almost a perfect weekend except for Melksham injury.

    Expect a big manic monday from Bulldog players. They'll let off alot off pentup loathing at the boozer for whoever . Could  get ugly.

    That Toby Green is a wild little chicken. Love the brillliant swipe to McGovern in the last.

    I was at Marvel Stadium tonight. The Blues wanted to make sure Charlie got his second Coleman Medal and he did. Well done, deserved it. Cripps & Docherty rested. Walsh, Cerra & McGovern got to dust off their injury cobwebs with a run. 'Bruise free' footy after half time whilst GWS played with real purpose and intensity for keeping their season alive and trying to get past the Saints on percentage.

    I hope the Swans beat Carlton next week. 

    It's kindof good our game is first up, because we'll know who to barrack for along the way in the other games. I agree - I generally hope the Swans win, esp if we lose. If we win, I'd half want Carlton to win, so they can knock Collingwood out in straight sets (which I can't see Sydney doing), then they can get smashed by Brisbane in the Prelim.

    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).

    He's the Ricky Stuart of the AFL. Treats the media with contempt.

    Carlton defence and mids love running forward of the ball and pushing up high.

    Sure it looks good when they go deep inside 50, but on turnover none are exactly sprinting back to defend. Very much a one-way running side

    That’s not how they play

    Good, hope they all get pulled over at the booze bus and blow the smithereens of the breathalizers😇

    I don't mean to be rude but after that display I really think it's time for Carlton fans to shut the hell up. Congrats for making the finals and getting a couple of fortuitous wins but they don't put premiership cups in the trophy cabinet for 9 game winning streaks.

    This football caper is not easy and they're about to find out that this thing called finals is bloody different. Sure you boast king cobra Curnow and fake Brownlow medallist Cripps but I wouldn't be surprised to see them binned in the first week.

    Totally agree. Yes Premierships do come unexpectedly but you have to have done SOMETHING prior to 1995 to win the flag (future readers adjust for your time-period-of-reference which is roughly 30 years).

    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. 

    Don't give him any ideas. Let em suffer.

    • 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.

    • 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?

        • Thanks
