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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
