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

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
