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)

    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
