    Frustratingly similar games. 🤑

    Both games should have gone the other way but in both cases only have themselves to blame.

    Carlton stopped dead in the last. We just need a good start and we'll run all over them 

    Yeah Sydney 7.8 to 4.3 in the second half tells me of a team that does it’s damage in the first 2 to 3 quarters.

    You only have to cast your mind back to round 22 when they stopped to a halt in against us in the second half of the last quarter.

    We need to set the tone, take initiative and hit the scoreboard early as we’re clearly a last quarter team. Can’t be playing catch up all night.

    If the goal umpire is unsure or unsighted then why call it anything? Just say no call!! Then the system has to decide and WHEN it cant, they can start to fix it.

    He was groggy on his feet walking off the ground, that ain’t ribs!

    Gary Lyon suggests ribs in the Fox post match. See what transpires.

    Why were the Fox commentators lauding Sydney for their comeback but bashed us even though we did exactly the same thing?

    It’s bad enough seeing Collingwood win, Carlton is right up there, I had to turn it off, I was waiting for Cripps to thank the boys in yellow for getting them over the line tonight….

    Probably because Sydney were given little chance to win the game would be my guess.

    Read the room. Nobody likes Melbourne. Sydney are brave. Maynard is a hero. Carlton will win the flag.

    Its Carlton next week. McKay out concussion. Martin likely to get a week for striking.

    Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

    Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

    Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

    Concussion protocols and tribunal rulings do not apply to Carlton. Pass jail and collect $100.

    My most despised club and even more so its supporters.

    I’m not fussed about McKay playing or not. If he plays we will probably play a third tall which will suit us. The weather looks dry all week so it’ll be a dry deck. Martin not playing is a bigger win. He was very good against us last time.

    Even at draft time it was weird watching him slip down. Was praying we took him but alas wound up with Bowey and Laurie. Not JTs best draft that one.

    Pretty much every week a non-MFC player will be killing it and someone on here has to post 😩 we should’ve drafted (in this case, Errol Gulden) instead of (in this case, Laurie and Bowey) 😩 Such a redundant comment and it’s so tiresome.

    Marchbank claimed he touched one of Sydney's goals in the last quarter.

    He was on the bench at the time.........

    Carlton doc's will say grogginess is a symptom of sore ribs

    Did anyone else notice how dazed and confused big Harry looked singing the song with the team?

    Bloke looks like he’s got 12 pints onboard.

    Voss has said McKay is in the concussion protocols.

    So Sydney do the same thing as us and lose because of bad kicking. When is the club going to realise how important that is in the forward line and do something about it.

    It’s a complete mind-boggling out-of-this-world load of [censored]. Default is a goal, overrule by evidence. It’s the simplest rule tweak possible and yet nothing.

    Yes. Did see that. 
     

    Between that, and his two absolute clangers on goal tonight, I hope he plays.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
