Freo v Crows should be interesting. hard to pick 

You’d imagine Freo get it done at home but these games are ones the Crows need to win if they make finals

 

Honestly, from what I can piece together without live coverage (ahhhh, Sydney life), it is a little embarrassing for Carlton to only be four/five goals up.

I stand by my theory that Carlton continue to be in weak form to start the season and that has been balanced by very, very good personal form from Harry McKay. 3 goals and 4 contested marks in each game, and already 3 goals and 3 contested marks to half time against North.

Voss and the Carlton planners would be absolutely thrilled to be clocking wins. That said... every Carlton opponent so far has remained winless this season. The Blues would want to get things working properly before they come up against opponents that aren't either in mental disarray, managing an awkward rebuild, or outright led by teenagers.

Just announced Pendlebury gets a fine

Well, precedent set, when we play the pies we’ll just dish out 22 fines. Ridiculous.

So in a critical period in an important match just put a couple of Ks on the table and belt an important star and double him up in pain. And don’t worry you won’t even give away a free downfield. Plenty of time to organise your defence. The AFL stinks

 

Curnow on Pink is just unfair. Charlie is built like a brick you-know-what, and Pink looks like any redhead you just pulled off the street. How's he going to compete?

The fix for a Carlton flag is so obviously on. The
AFL got their wish with the Pies last year. It’s Carlton’s turn this year 


Can we start a gofundme to pay for all the open handed punch fines we’ll dish out on Kings Birthday?

I’d happily contribute.

I hope 21 of those fines is for gut punching Maynard, and the other one for gut punching Cox 

What a joke the league has become

8 goals from frees and 50’s to Blues.

Sorry now 9 goals.

This is a world record.

The 5 year extension that Larkey signed last year must be feeling like a life sentence by now. 

The lack of pressure on the Carlton mids from North's mids is just embarrassing. Very much like a Melbourne game from c.2013 - I feel so happy we're not subjected to that any more.

North getting a shocking run from the Umps

But they are contributing by some very undiscipline play

When is the heat going to come on Clarkson?

Seriously, Neeld had much worse cattle at his disposal and he didn’t last 2 years. How long will this sociopath’s grace period be?

You feel for North fans. Their team is hot garbage but the umps aren't helping one bit.


This is unwatchable. As @Jaded No More said (above) it’s clearly Carlton’s turn for a premiership. It makes me sick that we can’t enjoy neutral matches like this. 

6 fifty-metre penalties now against North. At this point they should just go for the record.

I sure as hell dont

I definitely do. Hating on a club like North is one thing, but their fans, especially young fans, don’t deserve this.

It’s why the AFL for me has become unbearable to watch. If the Dees weren’t in it, I would’ve (and just about have) given it away years ago. It has become so business driven, and what is best for that business to succeed, that the football aspect has been neglected for some time now.

Grass roots local footy is so much purer and more enjoyable to witness. Go and get yourself a team to follow outside of the national/state leagues. It is way more fun to watch and be a part of. You feel like you’re part of a real community.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

      • Thanks
