Carlton off a 5 day break. Port off a 7 day break. What a joke. 
Lucky I hate Carlton. Shame I also hate Port.

    Karma for the "liar on the line" last year against us. It was a goal.

    How are Carlton second?

    Put DeKoning & McKay back in there & they go alright. They've had them right up until now

    Port a 6-day break but point still valid.

    5-day breaks should only occur when the opposition is also on a 5-day break.

    Not that I care about Carlton.

    As much as it's fun watching Carlton lose, this is not good for us. 

    Although it's funny thinking that after Port fans booed Hinkley off the ground, they'll go 4-1 including wins over the Dogs and Carlton.

    Ken lives on. Good times for everyone who enjoys Port forever doing nothing when it matters.

    And Acres and Williams (and Silvagni and Docherty too I suppose).

    Port missing Marshall, SPP, Finlayson and Soldo though, so not completely at full strength either.

    It was a goal. No qualms with it.

    The AFL's imbecilic 5 day scheduling compromises another game though. I expected this knowing Port had a 7 day break. I reckon if we meet Port in the finals we will smash them. 

    We have the Pies next week, must smash them ...

    6-day break. They played last Saturday night.

    I'm with you on 5-day breaks, as above, but there have been worse. You didn't go anywhere, they had to travel here. 

    I wouldn't worry about beating Port in a final if you get them. I'd be more worried about slipping out of the top 4 - if Brisbane, Fremantle and GWS all win, you'll be 5th at the end of this round. You should have had 2nd spot sewn up by now, IMO.

    Agreed. The Blues are unlikely to win a flag this year unless we nab 2nd place TBH. We should have sown up 2nd spot by now already.

    It’s true that Carlton are off a five day break, albeit back-to-back at Marvel. While Port are off a six day break with an interstate trip - toss of the coin for mine.

    It shouldn’t take anything away from Port. And it shows impact of a few keys outs for Carlton and their system. 

    It’s also amazing how much the Port nuffies were off Hinkley only a month ago!!

    The blues were clearly paddling from half way through the third.

    One goal in the second half, none in rhe last.

    Carlton should play all home games at the MCG. It was actually an MCG tenant before any other club (MFC included) 😉

    I know Marvel is much maligned but I really don't mind. Realistically it is too small for most Carlton games these days.

    Please explain.

    1. Collingwood

    2. Geelong 

    3. Essendon 

    4. Carlton 

     

    This evening I had the absolute pleasure of watching my 4th most hated team lose a game of footy.

    Happy days 

  • Quote

    Terrible result for us.

    It’s probably only Essendon that are looking vulnerable to miss the 8, and thus only 1 team we could replace.

    (although GWS could be in trouble if we were to beat them)

    Port of a 6 day break actually, don't listen to the commentators trying to cover for the blooz.

    I don’t see Port winning as a disaster for us, great seeing Carlton fall over, I would describe Port as the SA equivalent of Carlton, mirror image of promise much deliver little.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
