This will be a percentage boost for WC despite the result

Sydney- a massive percentage boost lost. We somehow stay above them on the ladder which is a little bonus.

    Carlton shooting for their first ever Adelaide Oval win. Meanwhile we’ve just cracked 12 wins.

    Collingwood supporters and the media claiming they have the best NON SA team record, but I reckon 12 wins is better than 8.

    The thing is, Carlton is 0-7. 

    They’ve only played there 7 times. Ever. 

    We’ve played there 19 times. Almost three times as much. 

    How the [censored] does that happen?

    That’s because you can do simple maths. You are overestimating Pies fans here.

    I haven't done the maths but I'm guessing that a high scoring close game would see us stay top on %, at least until tonight.

    So we’ve played more in SA and in Geelong. Exactly where does Carlton play it’s away games… asking for a mate.

    I really don’t rate Carlton.

    Hold McKay and Curnow and they don’t have much.

    Cripps gets a bit of it but his disposal is ordinary

    It's a tough watch.
    Abit like watching us without Gawn, Petracca and Oliver.

    I must be on my own on this forum as there’s plenty of other posters who don’t rate Carlton.

    I seriously rate Carlton and have them in the current top 3 seedings.

    They have every position covered with star material all over the place. It starts with their “Steve May” (Weitering) down back and ends with the two best key fwds in the league.

    Unfortunately they also showed that they could handle the big MCG finals moments which will hold them in good stead in September.

    (Hope I’m wrong and they cop a loss today)

    Freo are about 13% higher than us right now.

    I suspect they stay ahead of us if they get the “W” in a low scoring affair.

    Pretty good effort on their behalf.

    Plus the AFL are desperate for them to win the flag. 
    They are in prime position to win it. They still have Walsh to come back too. 
    Definitely a big factor in the flag race for mine too.

    Yep. Good call about Walsh. Absolute gun.

    He got them over the line against us last year.

    That throw was disgustingly obvious from Cripps. Give them the flag now if that's what the umps are going to allow this year from Carlton.

    • 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.
