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.

    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…

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
