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!😇

    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.

    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’.

    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?

    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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
