This will be one of the great chokes in a Season if Vegas lose this. I am actually shocked after watching the first 40 minutes. They absolutely had Carlton on the ropes, playing fast aggressive footy 

Bathwater?

    Weren’t we into Acres at one point? Solid winger can take a great mark. 

    Probably, but never realistically in the picture for whatever reason. That trade was baffling and has to be draft tampering. Carlton gave up a future third round pick for Acres, who had just been Freos best player in the finals before exit. He's a good footballer and has toweled us up a few times now.

    Just goes to show preseason matches are completely and utterly irrelevant. We belted Carlton last week. They come out next week in the real stuff and best Brisbane up at the gabba. We come out and roll over to the Swans.

    And we smashed this mob last week.

    They were obviously resting during it.

    Maybe we should have as well.

    I guess they realised nothing’s won in February.

    The Blues have had a ripping summer by all accounts.

    Makes me sick seeing Carlton leapfrog past us this past year. The only difference between us is they play fast aggressive football with ball in hand and can hit leading forward targets.

    Great game it has to be said

    huge result for Carlton. sets up the season for them.

    Lions really [censored] the bed. Pathetic second half from them

    That was a really good game of footy, and as much as I hate to say it, a great win from the Blues. 

    Dees take note - foot skills create wins.

    Bears' massive choke - Normanic proportions.   

    Were the Bears cocky or the Blues inspired?

    What do you mean the only difference?

    They have a midfield that is as good as ours if not better (with Walsh to come back), a forward line with a generational FF, a powerful CHF and proper small forwards, and a defence which has Weitering to come back. 

    They have forward half talent we’d kill for and they maximise that talent.

    I love the movement and presentation of olayera from both sides. We look really stagnant in front of the ball apart from a few passages.

    It’s going to be one of those wacky years folks.
    Everyone thought Carlton was dead after a quarter and a half of footy. 

    Loooooong way to go

    I don't care what people think. Lions threw that game away.

    Kiddy Coleman was a huge out for Brissy. They didn’t have anyone in the backline with a cool head to quieten the game down. He is also one of the best field kicks. Unironically made a big difference losing him.

    Lyon saying the conditions were humid and tough to play in? If that’s true then we have no excuse for how we played. Both teams looked like they were in completely dry weather tonight. 
     

    WTF

    Credit to Carlton. They made some big tactical changes at half time and won territory. If only our coaching staff would make in-game moves…

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
