It’s probably been mentioned previously but that last goal celebration was quite exhilarating outdoing the hockboys efforts.

I couldn’t remember during the game, so I was calling him “ tall angry Andre Agassi”.

ButI think it’s McIntosh. 

Mc Intosh played his best game EVER last night! A few oher bits... I thought Caleb Daniels played as unnaccountable footy as any in the AFL including N Faicos, then I saw Adam Saad, gees talk about lose! 

Harry Mc Kay will cost Carltank a Grand Final one day with his shocking kicking for goal!! Oh hang on, they wont even make the 8!😇

I'm torn.
Wish Ooze all the best and Richmond all the worst.
It's complicated.

Richmond > Carlton that's all there is to this. Tigers winning a few games is fine, they've suffered alot.

I'm surprised coaches don't put a stop to celebrations like it due to injury risks TBH.
Remember Roos ripped Petracca a new one for doin' his ankle playin' basketball.

Which one of their 3 flags was suffering?

I should have said recently. But yeah, I hope they don't beat us haha.

Beat us to another flag.

All in all a good night last night.  Happy for Yze.

Another way to look at it is if Collingwood for some reason no longer existed, Carlton would be ‘it’. 

Might end up blowing up all in our face Sunday but who cares right now

Even if we get spanked on Sunday, its nowhere near a bad as losing to Richmond.

I agree 100% with such morbid sentiments 😁 Worst Carlton game I have watched for many years 🤮 Voss doesn't have it what it takes, I like the guy, legend of a player, not cut out to be a senior AFL coach with the style of football played today.

I would have waited till we played Richmond before making that statement.

do you think it's the style of football or the players available?

i just don't see baggers outside that clutch of sides 5-14, of which i see the mfc in too

Lynch was very important for the Tiges last night.  Played his role like a proper forward (in front, competed hard, made position and led well) Didn't star but he played a very important role

So if AJ gets the nod on Sunday we'll need him to play a similar role (as well as doing the 2nd ruck duties)

I've got JVR up at CHF as he's got untapped ability with regards to creativity.  Turner as the possible 3rd forward with Fritsch as the opportunist (that's what he is good at)

A bit of both.

Voss seems incapable of meaningful in game responsive changes and can't seem to breakout out of the straightjacket of the contested and stoppage game he understands to evolve into the modern game played today. To be a genuine top 4 contender this Carlton list also needs another quality tall defender and a quality small forward.

Agreed that the Blues are a 5 to 14 side.

I honestly believe a more capable coaching team with a few minor list changes could get this side a flag. It won't happen under Michael Voss.

I didn't hear that, though he talked it about it last year as emerging trend (was 3 of 4 then).

I would be be very surprised if he said the inside 50 count was not a factor.

I only had 'half and ear' to the conversation. Whately (?) asked Hoyne about the importance of I50's cf ball movement and Hoyne gave the example of last year's GF where the Swans had only two fewer I50's (49-51) but lost by 10 goals.

Whately then asked who you'd draft first - a good mid-fielder (clearance player) or a good half back. 

I don't think Hoyne gave a definitive answer (both equally important, or have their role).

BTW I don't know what 'ball movement ' means, or how you measure it. Scores from transition from your back half?

See yourself out thanks...

 

Carlton has a lot of ordinary players.

And they have lost 8 of their last 10 games with their 2 wins being against North and West Coast.

McGovern, Haynes, Cowan, Saad, Acres, Kemp, Cottrell, Williams are not up to it for senior players.

The look at the young guys Lord, Motlop, Fogarty, Evans, Camporeale - average but early days

As for McKay - gosh he's hopeless

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
