I hope Nibbler ‘turns it on’ on Saturday afternoon at the MCG.

He was a champion for our club who gave his all.

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…

It's no coincidence that the flags dried up not long after the Salary Cap was introduced and they were no longer able to buy success.

May their misery and misfortune endure for at least another thirty years.

Good lord Rory Lobb with the pool cue look

Plenty of chalk

 

Not a great free kick awarded for the start of a game but it was against the Pies so it was a well umpired brilliant interpretation.

Gee you look back in the years and the Saints and the dogs were very unlucky not to make more grand finals. 

Between them they lost a few prelims


Anybody know what the explanation over the summer Richo was referring to with that Moore holding the ball was? 
 

Edit: apparently you’re supposed to try and kick the ball when tackled and if you miss, it’s not dropping the ball now? Did I hear that correctly from one of the commentators?

I think I got an answer?

The team abbreviations are a bit of a crack up tonight.

Q: How much interest do you have in this game?
A: FOO COL
 

Young Davidson for the Doggies looking quick and clean.

Jason dunstall explained it well. Darcy had his arm free so the umpire thinks he has a chance to get it on his boot to kick it away

Ok that makes sense, did he mention anything about dropping the ball? I may very well have misheard but I thought the channel 7 commentary said you won’t get pinged for dropping the ball in that circumstance. That you just have to make an attempt to kick it.

If Liberatore gets suspended for Pendlebury burying his head into his hip, I'll be so annoyed. Players need to show duty of care to themselves above all, and suspending players every time their opponents dangerously go to ground is not ever going to fix the problem of head high contact.

Found it! If you have no prior opportunity and you can *realistically* attempt to kick it away, you won’t get called dropping the ball if you miss the kick.

  • 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.
