10 years and the only key forward who we produced was Hogan, sure we won flag with hybrids but are we missing a Curnow or a McKay

    Shows what happens when sides kick to open players with some skill.  We should learn (have learnings) by watching these two teams play a game that is so unlike our own….

    In Carlton’s last 5 games they haven’t kicked double figures in behinds.

    In our last 4 games we’ve kicked nothing but double figures in behinds.

    One club takes their opportunities and the other doesn’t.

    Makes us so hard to watch and support and very emotionally draining (well, for me at least).

    And for me too.

    Aside from a couple of entertaining wins over Brisbane, Adelaide and Richmond in July when we kicked straight, we’ve been playing an unattractive, sloppy and often soul destroying brand of footy since about round 10 last year.

    ….and a brand that all other serious contenders have worked out and nullify.  Oh boy, this could be a long season.

    And we smashed this mob last week.

    They were obviously resting during it.

    Maybe we should have as well.

    I don't know how sensible it was going that hard at Princes Park on a very hot night knowing an away trip to Sydney was up next.

    Good to see a Victorian team handle the warm conditions up north, and not use it an as excuse. Especially given that the blues were seriously undermanned. 

    Does not bode well for us this year. We had a stronger list against the swans and spent the night dropping the footy all over the place and wasting chances, doing the same [censored] we did last year and the year before. Lots of our guys went, or stayed missing. 

    Kind of sobering tbh

    A round that starts with a Melbourne loss and a Carlton win is a glum one indeed.

    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.

    Wrong, they have Curnow and Mc Kay! We have ??¿ ah we have!!!! Um

    Brisbane badly missed the run of Coleman and McKenna off half back. However that’s an indictment on them given Carlton’s long list of outs. How they won without Weitering and Walsh is amazing?

    This Carlton team has a serious hunger about it that can definitely take them to the promise land this year.

    Lions will be in the gun this week.

    Coughing up a lead in that manner, at home, to an injury depleted team was a choke of epic proportions.

    How does even a non MFC thread end up as peak MFCSS? Is there nowhere to go where it doesn't take over?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
