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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
