Nothing more insufferable than Carlton fans when they’re on a winning roll.

Right up there but I would still have Essendon fans just ahead.

After a [censored] opening month of football where I watched all of Carlton's four opening losses live, went on a little family holiday abroad, tuned out of footy and the Blues win 2 on the trot (albeit against weak opposition).

Coming back from the MCG on the train right now and my young son says to me "that was a good day!" ... yes ... yes it was 😁

With the Dees also on the winners list, my footy life is looking less bleak than it was a few weeks ago 😃

The Blues were switched on from the get-go. Geelong never looked like coming back. I was surrounded by loudmouths from both denominations (species? Persuasions?) but by far and away the Carlton ones were the most annoying.

I’ll be at the ‘G today for the Blues/Cats match. I have a niece who has defected and is a Cats fan much to the chagrin of my all-Carlton family. I’m supporting her because I know only to well what it’s like to be the black sheep and I respect her for having the balls to come out as a Cats fan, unlike my gutless self who masqueraded as a Blues fan for many years. 😭

I’ll be going for the Blues though. Soz if that makes anyone throw up their brekky 😅 At least one person here will be of the same mind, huh @No. 31 ?????

Yes, I was there. I took my 5 year old son. Interestingly, he has always watched Carlton win watching them live, never seen them lose at Marvel/MCG. Have to take him more often, should take him to a Dees game or two as well 😁

The Blues put in a good 4 quarter performance today and against a credible team. Not sure what it means for the rest of the season but will enjoy it today.

Yes, some of my Navy Blue bretheren are loudmouths, won't even try to dispute that 😁

The Blues are far better than their ladder position suggests. They have the 4th best percentage in the league and 3rd for points against.

Adelaide in Adelaide next week will be a really interesting game.


Just FYI the Hawks have only beaten 1 top 8 side this year and that was in Tassie. If we beat WCE next week (and we really should) then I think we'll be a red hot chance to beat the Hawks the week after at the G.

We match up well against Geelong and not so well against Adelaide. The Crows have dusted us up there before. Will be an interesting game.

Think I might take my son to Melbourne v Dingley Hawks, I also feel the Dees could role them 🙏😃

Had to brush some dust off the archives to verify that one.

Except they are copping it NOWHERE NEAR as much as we did over Clarrie. You’re only saying this because their “troubled player” situation is currently in the spotlight. Cast your mind back to when it was peak Clarrie media coverage then compare that with what’s happening right now with Jamarra. Not even a fraction of what we copped.

Besides, how does anyone outside the Bulldogs inner sanctum know how professional their handling of the situation is?

Bulldogs started with JUH is dealing with personal issues but have moved on to any timeline around a possible return will be dictated by the AFL. This paints a reasonably clear picture as to what is going on and holds the player accountable. Oliver went from a four week hamstring to a seven week hamstring to a hospital jailbreak. So yes Oliver and the MFC may have copped more attention but they brought it on themselves.

The Bulldogs haven’t let the off field drama affect their on field performance, if anything they’ve done the opposite. They were robbed by the umpires and should have beaten Collingwood, they should be fifth not eighth. Starting this season Melbourne had Picket, Windsor and McVee out, the Dogs were missing Bont, Treloar, Weightman & JUH. I missed the Anzac Eve game but many posters commented on how when Gawn was subbed out the performance of many others suddenly dropped.

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
