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: 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.
