    How does Schultz win medal.

    The commentators are laughing.

    At least 6 better players on the ground, if not more.

    Pendles for example was more influential, with many more possessions.

    Something horrible about watching people have a genuine mental implosion.

    Carlton players became so frightened that it kicked them out of even the most basic routines. You can see the cogs jam in their head as they make the decision 'I'm convinced that what I normally do isn't going to work, so I will do something else even though it never works at all in any circumstance'.

    45 minutes of panic. They only calmed down when there was nothing left to lose.

    The question is.who will be sacked first Voss or Goodwin??

    Who do you think is poachable?

    Voss will be gone first. There's nothing wrong at Carlton which can't be traced to the coaching, and Voss doesn't have any proverbial credits in the bank.

    Poachable, based on 'what you see is what you get' rather than any fantasies.

    Walsh seems to be stagnating at Carlton and is a restricted free agent for 2026. Currently still only 24yr 9 months. On his current form he is 'just another midfielder', but even as that he could be a useful winger/midfield utility. A return to his best form would be something extra.

    Kemp was shopped around by Carlton last season (which I hear is the ultimate sin), is a tick under 24yrs, a complex but interesting prospect who had a slow start to his career due to injury, and is out of contract this season. As a tallish (192cm) swingman he would likely have a role. No need to fantasise about him suddenly becoming much better, just filling a role.

    Fun fact - Melbourne could make no changes to its team and just play the exact players we already have out there for another two years and it would still be a younger team than Collingwood fielded tonight.

    Oddly enough their only player with less than 50 games experience, Ned Long, is already 22.

    What is even more satisfying is that apparently Carlton traded their first round pick next year to, of all teams, Hawthorn!

    Goodwin + Voss could swap jobs 🤓

    Like Parkin + Walls did in the 80s. (Or at least I think it was in the 80s.)

    No thankyou.

    Also, it was the 90's.

    Also, it was the 90's.

    In a notable AFL coaching switch, Robert Walls replaced David Parkin as coach of Carlton in 1986, while Parkin took over at Fitzroy in a direct swap. 

    Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

    • Parkin's Tenure at Carlton:

      David Parkin coached Carlton for several years, including a period of success, but eventually faced a downturn in form.

    • Walls Takes Over:

      After Carlton endured three consecutive unsuccessful finals campaigns under Parkin, Robert Walls took over as coach in 1986.

    • Parkin's Move to Fitzroy:

      Coincidentally, Parkin then became the coach of Fitzroy, creating a direct swap with Walls.

    • Parkin's Return to Carlton

      Parkin returned to coach Carlton from 1991 until 2000.

    walsh looks a shadow of his former self, but you can bet he'll still command a pretty penny as a former #1 pick and ostensibly having credits in the bank as a very good player...three years ago

    kemp is no better than howes imo - very vanilla

    Interesting watching Walsh tonight.

    He's running to the ball but not through the ball if that makes sense.

    He's hesitating...

    His confidence is down.

    Interesting final score, neither team managing double figures and Magpies winning with only 8 majors.

    Also Magpie inaccuracy, 8 15. Perhaps it's not just us but something to do with playing fast and furious football?

    That's extremely concerning. I hope the mcc are having discussions with the head of security today. Not sure how that could be missed on the scanner

  • Quote

    I expect from now on we’re going back to long waits when going through security, with full bag searches etc.

    What was a much faster system of security screening has had a major fail.

    I’m guessing they were Carlton supporters, because a) it’s a club for crims, b) they started getting agitated in the second half.

    I know the Collingwood fanbase has its fair share of crims, but they tend to be lower level crimes, consistent with lower IQs. To get loaded guns past security requires a level of planning and execution way beyond their skill set.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
