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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
