Yeah but Petty every single time finds a way to drag himself and his opponent to a one on one contest, just work with the space!

Because we have no one inside 50

We have dropped numerous marks inside 50

All the talk about this game on radio was how close it was going to be… MFC “hold my beer”

    Wow game over at qtr time. 
    We played like [censored]. Umps want this so badly and it ends up in a 5 goal to nil quarter 

    that was gross 

    HQ could not have the Brown Papers out of the 8. Ump 22 performing as asked.

    The footy world will be saying “here is the Melbourne underbelly again’

    Pathetic not to score

    Woeful through the middle.  Smashed in all clearance battles including around ground stoppages.

    And why would you rest Max for so long and allow the oppo to dominate further after giving up the first three goals early.

    Terrible coaching decision

    Can't play in wet / greasy conditions.

    In wet weather you need to move the +1 in defence into the middle or even add an extra winger in as well to even or outnumber around stoppage and start winning the contested battles.

    Leave it as is and it'll be the Blues how far.

    They are making a very ordinary team look like Premiers honestly.

     

    I guess Chris Scott was right. Geelong were off.

    Premiership teams don't get smacked around, let alone 3 times in the first 9 games.

    Watching that MCG grand final dream disappear.

    Game completely on Carlton's terms. May doesn't want to follow Curnow and wants to play goalkeeper. That's fine but Curnow is happy to get up the ground.

    Our I50s stink. Coming straight back out. Blues have setup well, matchups are perfect for them.


    They pull the trigger quickly because they know if they turn it over we will move it so slow on the rebound, we ain’t gonna hurt them.

    ANB back to his average I fear.

    Petracca .... Have no words

    Premierships are not won tonight. I think the effort is there. Few poor decisions. That's AFL

    Come back Deez

    we need to pull our finger out before this gets embarrassing.

    my office is infested with Carlton supporters. I won't be able to show face for a week if we cop a hiding

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
