    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
