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?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
