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?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
