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: 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.
