It’s a pretty good game so far, hopefully another draw coming up. 
I know nobody likes Chris Scott but it is an incredible job he is doing at Geelong

    The next 2 weeks will depend on whether our Midfielders can find form…

    Absolutely. Ain't it just about the clearances.

    Great game to watch 

    Our blueprint is on show on how to beat both of them, break even with the clearances against Carlton & forward pressure against the the Cats

    Then we can beat them ….. hopefully

    I’m worried about folks who wanna read about how we’re gonna get belted in the next two matches. They’ll undoubtedly go to the pregame thread, and won’t think to come to this thread since it’s a NON-MFC THREAD!!!

    As much as it is popular to bag Geelong, they are exceptionally well drilled. Carlton work so hard to win contested possessions but the Cats sit off and wait for the turnover. They move the ball with system which means you don't need contested beasts like Carlton, Melbourne and others have.

    Serious question. Why is Cripps allowed to get away with throwing the ball so much?

    Because the AFL has already decided on a Carlton flag this year, just like they decided Collingwood last year

    We will beat Geelong. Our midfield is overdue to fire and too strong for the Cats. If any team can cover Hawkins and Cameron we can. This scoreline has massively flattered them thus far. Return for much lower entries is remarkable against an undermanned Carlton defence. I'm confident.

    Sounds like a Carlton home game when they score. Surely Geelong would be better to bank a cool $1 mill playing at KP and restricting the opposition to 150 tickets.

    A flag & 3 top 4 finishes and yet our club can’t attract a gun fwd, watching Camero, the  blues fwds & the best we can do is Brown with a banged knee and fortunate it lasted in 2021. Yet we continue to try and turn defenders into fwds, Tmac , Petty & Turner

    Curnow reminds me of Fev.

    Can turn it on in a quarter or two and turn the game.

    • 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.
