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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
