Apparently Hawks with 19 on the field during the 2nd quarter?

How does that happen in this day and age 🤔

Back on the day they'd have to have their score reset to zero at that point.

Would love to have McKenzie - great decision maker and excellent disposal

so would the aints - he was in their academy in the same year that mac andrew was in ours

 

The Hawks main vulnerability was stoppages inside 50, which they struggled to defend tonight even though Carlton have pretty average small forwards.

Shows how important the mosquito fleet is in modern footy and why it’s important we get Pickett, Chandler, Henderson, Spargo and Sparrow all up and going and putting on high pressure in our forward line.

I just still feel they lack a really good tall forward and their midfield depth can fall away pretty quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants beat them by 5+ goals next week.

It’s in Tassie though.

22 if you include the umpires.

Yep. Still annoyed I had to downsize the studio… You are right in that there is so much that I had recorded that is simply not available anywhere anymore.

I reckon it’s taken about 4 years for him and Ward to reach the required level.

it didn’t really look like either would make it for awhile.
It says a lot about development, instead of trashing and reselecting.


Normally when I watch a non-Dees match I have a slight preference for one of the teams. However Hawthorn ... hate them .... Carlton ... hate them.

I have now reached the stage where I hate pretty much every non-Dees team. In order, it's obviously the filth first, then daylight. 

I didn't hate GC cos they were kind of pathetic. However the arrival of Hardwick as coach means I now hate them too.

 

Hawthorn looking ok. Interested to see how they go against better sides, such as GWS (and us!). Until then I wouldn't pencil them in for anything significant. 

From their last eleven matches, Carlton have won two - North Melbourne and West Coast Eagles.

At least their fans are taking it well.

The dreaded expected score wins again 

Looks like Carlton and the Dees are going to be top 4 on the expected score ladder this year....yay!

Impressed with Hawthorn's ability to withstand a number of best 22 players being out. Signs of a quality team.

The season has a long way to go...

Indeed.

The Swans were unbackable flag favourites two games clear on top of the ladder halfway through last season.

That is a great stat.

Brings a smile to your face.

And that was just the reserves game.

Anyone think the Dogs have a chance tonight?

Their midfield looks poor without Treloar and Bont. And their defence is always average

Would love to see the dogs get up. I know they've got their 100th anniversary match & that will be motivation but unfortunately the pies might be to good.

Really hope I'm wrong.  Would love to see the dogs win

After 30 years of Cheating and giving the rest of the Competition the middle finger (“We are Carlton, F$&@ the Rest”) They are reaping the rewards of such behavior…

Pies on Friday night, Dees 3.20pm Sunday again. Wow, so surprised - NOT.

Pies should win well tonight, with the Dogs playing a VFL team, but neither team looks potent and Bevo is cunning so I am hoping for an upset.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
