Why are Blues players allowed to determine where the mark is and almost always run over the actual mark without ever being called back?

    why did the ump call back the play there when the tiges had a good advantage

    I think you answered your own question.

    There’s another team who have figured out how to win tight matches.

    Yep.

    Get the umpires to give you everything, have your opponent down 3 players for most of the game, off a 5 day break and  have an opposition player play on from a set shot 2 metres out and miss.

    That’s the way to win.

    Gee poor yze. Was I said last week welcome to coaching.

    I just caught the last quarter. Bolton in the final seconds I thought was going to get through but he forgot to take the ball.

    Richmond and Yze deserve massive credit for that performance. They almost won it. 
     

    Richmond are going down and this is Carlton’s first realistic chance of being expected to get to a GF. 
     

    My hat is off to Yze.

    Still not sure Carlton are the real deal. Their defence still looks dodgy. Maybe Weitering makes the difference.

    Carlton did everything they could to lose that one, the umps sure helped them out in the last, though the Tigers got the rub of the green early in the game.

    Carlton’s defence looks very suspect, but god Curnow and McKay really show the value of having 2 quality KPF’s. We don’t even have 1.

    And where was Dusty in the last 10 minutes? The Tiges had a fair share of it in their half forward but Dusty, no where to be seen when he would normally turn a tight game on its head.

    My husband barracks for Carlton and over the decades of our marriage I have really tried hard to like them. 
    Unfortunately, I have failed at this miserably.

    If i was a tigers supporter i would be incredibly proud of the troops, down 3 rotations also off a 5 day break.

    Agreed, gutsy.

    Did a Richmond player in the 3rd quarter miss from 2 metres out?

    If it wasn’t 2 metres out it was all of 3 out but it was a shocker of a miss all the same. Would’ve given them a handy 13 point lead.

    Surprised Carlton didn’t pile on the goals in the last quarter given the opposition were down 3 players.

    Mansell, played on from a mark 2 metres out and missed.

    Moronic bit of play.

    You're kidding right.

    You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

    Give me a spell.

    I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

    How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

    i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

    fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

    Key position forward (KPF) is, as i understand it, is the centre half forward and full forward, positions that are usually filled by talls.

    But I agree on what I assume is your point- fritter, who is arguably our full forward and could be considered a KPF, is very much a quality forward.

    So, far from not having any quality KPFs, we have two.

    Only thing missing last night was Rey Mysterio giving Tom Lynch a 619. Season script has been written. Blues in the GF.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
