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

    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)

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
