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?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
