Carlton fans are just horrible, replacing essendon in the top three of the worst fan bases in the league?? 

The absolute moron behind me getting stuck into ANB for acting after being hit post kick. Mate he got hit while off balance, he has every right to fall over you absolute clown 🫣

 
 

After our straight sets failure in finals in the past two seasons, and regular poor efforts after short breaks I question our resilience to mount a fair dinkum finals campaign.

We are non existent in midfield playing horribly but how about the umps do their job.

Trac was held in the F50 again no free, Rivers had his head ripped off with 40 seconds to go, no free.

AFL working their magic again.

McVee please enough with the kicks at ground level inside our 50, very silly football. 

We should be 3 to 4 goals down.
Umpiring is disgraceful.
I still think we're in this. It will get close and then the maggots will kick in to get the baggers home.

That was an absolute snipe to the guts, if anything the carlton player should be getting heckled by dees fan not the other way round. The lack of intelligence on display by these morons beggars belief. 

Is Pickett the worst wet weather small player around? Just never gets near it when it’s wet.


Absolutely insipid half from Melbourne. Smashed in contested possession, smashed in uncontested, not effective enough with the ball, outcoached, outplanned. 

We have not at any point had the game on our terms. No, even when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

A very disappointing midfield display and the entries going inside 50 are an absolute mess. 
We can still win this, make no mistake, but we need to start dominating the midfield and get some easier entries going forward. 

Leave Trac forward

Leave Pickett in the midfield 

Instruct Billing to never again kick the ball 

Bring on Woey and tell him to fill the hole everytime

And wet weather footy. Remember our putrid wet weather footy in 2020 against bottom of the ladder teams in Sydney and Fremantle, costed us finals.

Ditto 2022... 2023...

Walsh is running riot against us. Got no answer for him

It shows what Windsor will do for us in a few years time. For now. It exposes Oliver lack of fitness. 


More drizzle coming. Going to be a wonderful night

Our lack of finding kpp fwds will continue to haunt us… not sure what’s happened to our premiership mids

Edited by Demonsone

We can get back into it but we need a sustained period of winning footy. Carlton have been excellent in the middle and I don't see them suddenly slowing down in there.

Hollands hits the ball away. Nothing. 
 

Rivers hit in the head. Nothing. 
 

Rivers smashed in contest. Nothing. 
 

Viney tackled and gets rushed kick. Free to blues. 
 

Martin in contested marking. Free kick to blues. 
 

Curnow skill error. Out of bounds. Nothing. 
 

Cripps throws the footy.  Nothing. 
 

its criminal.  Umps are clearly instructed to favour Carlton.  Clearly.

He always runs riot against us.

We would’ve been in a prelim last year if it wasn’t for his heroics.

Clock him one.

 

It’s like Voss can read Goodwins mind?

They have an answer to everything we’re doing.

Honestly this is one of the most horrific umpiring displays I have ever seen 

Yes, you would swear that their superannuation has just received a boost.

However, Hanlon’s razor is probably at work:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
