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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
