You have to be careful when you get near to 60 yo; so many things from the past look better than they actually were. This even applies to footy, because there are a lot of small things in modern footy that simply give me the jimmy-brits. The clash jumper idea (which has some merit) has gone too far.

What the .... are Fremantle wearing? How does purple with a white stripe clash with a navy blue jumper so dark it is almost black? Just wear your jumper, and if there is an obvious clash between you and an opponent, the away team wear your white clash jumper.

    Yep. Good call about Walsh. Absolute gun.

    He got them over the line against us last year.

    He’s a cheat who goes down to easy and sucks the umpire in. Cost us in that game too. Hope his back is rooted.

    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)

    I rate them too but not that highly. The big MCG final??? We had that game by miles and coughed it up. We lost that more than them winning it.

    I'd actually like the Dockers to reintroduce some green as part of any clash guernsey. Today's abomination reminds me of the Carlton navy guernsey with a navy CFC they wore relatively recently.

    So many GWS midfielders are now playing elsewhere ... Shiel, O'Meara, Hopper, Prestia, Taranto et al.

    O'Meara and Prestia both started at Gold Coast.

    Your point is valid nonetheless.

    If you don’t reckon the fix is in for Carlton this year you aren’t paying attention.

    • 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?
