Can anyone clarify if Bowey was injured or if he was simply a tactical sub? If the latter, surely Turner, Petty or JVR would've been a better option to take off considering the conditions?

On that note, I thought Woewodin showed a bit when he came on. Nine touches in the final quarter.

    AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick

    Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring.

    unbelievable.

    Yes but that's all they'll admit. Forget the 11 to 3 anomaly of putrid softies that helped a five zip insurmountable first quarter lead. The game was won with that and then lost by the one they might decide to admit.

    It's a double whammy.

    Because we were good enough in the end but despite the anomaly we were putrid at the start.

    Jack Viney was missing first three quarters. 

    Our 3 tall fwds were missing and with Fritta down that's all folks.

    Full credit to Tracca tonight.

    Anb was great for me.

    What a painful loss from a game that could have at least been a draw if we could have pushed a point on the first.

    Again to not score on the first quarter means our preparation is really out of whack.

    Are we meditating beforehand?

    It's a strange way to play.

    everyone knew how to beat the old melbourne- outside run and don’t  commit too many to the contest. 

     

    the new melbourne is harder to beat, so we helpfully do that ourselves with lousy score return on forward entries. 

     

    When do we think about a change of forward coaching personnel.  Everyone knows it’s a pattern. everyone knows  that’ if it’s fixed, we win big. 

    it’s been happening for years.

    Of course he did. He’s dishonest like the rest of them.

    Us winning would have been robbery. 2nd best for 3 1/2 quarters by a long way 

    we absolutely dominated the last half, 4 goals to 8.

    Worst 1st quarter I have seen since the Neeld era, just dont get it.

    Should have beaten these clowns.

     

     

    It wasn't that bad, first 10 minutes we were in

     There was a chop to the arm to Petty, should have been paid free kick in front of goal.

    Then we panicked after 3 goals from them, felt we needed to score ASAP and got sloppy.

    I would have subbed Woey on at half time. That was slow from Goody. Tracca fwd was great but Goody missed that one.

    I’ll say it again. 
     

    “Hey @Binmans PA  remember when you so arrogantly shut me down after the Richmond game, when I said we were belted in the stoppages and out of the middle.”

    Remember how I said that would bite us in the [censored] against Carlton? Wheres your smug reply to this now?”

    The better team, again, scored more shots but fluffed it (easy misses, a complete.no-show in q1) and was done by the umps (that dangerous tackle was simply fraudulent), but yet we walk away with nothing. Again. 

    Proud of the boys for not giving up, but I really hate seeing the blues after these games. 

    Nothing for the boys to be ashamed of as a result of that last quarter and their persistence in the third quarter beforehand. We know what happened, we know how it happened.

    We need to fix going for long periods without scoring. It's becoming habitual.

    Umps hands all over this game, yes we were [censored] 1st qtr but this is shameful.

    Chosen club this year I’m afraid to say, too many dodgy decisions to think otherwise.

    Throw in the “Dangerous” tackle. The AFL is almost unwatchable. Once our Era is over, I think I’ll be reverting back to local footy.

    I am sorry for being too harsh on the team at HT.

    Great comeback and we deserved the win.

    Carlton are an ordinary team, will be making the numbers come September.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
