Does anybody care about the Carlton result on Sunday?

Featured Replies

-Is everybody over this season?

Nah, never over footy, still will enjoy watching us (As long as we don't serve up crap football)

-Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

Yes, can't stand losing, even at times like this and ESPECIALLY to Carlton

-Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

No, because we're going to get a top 4 pick anyway and we have a decent group of young kids already, we just have to clean out the deadwood

-Will you be upset if we lose?

Yes I am upset every time we lose

-Are you going?

No unfortunately personal commitments

-Crowd?

33,232

 

-Is everybody over this season?

Over the poor performances, but not the season.....still want to watch us play, and hopefully win a few games.

-Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

Yes - never want to see us lose......successful clubs don't embrace losing cultures.......if supporters think this, then what are the players going to think. If members don't demand success, then who will?

-Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

No........if we lose because we aren't good enough, then the silver lining is better draft picks, but we should never embrace losing!

-Will you be upset if we lose?

Hell yes! Upset as well that the young kids come in experiencing defeat....they need to learn how to win!

-Are you going?

For sure!

-Crowd?

40,000

This is the most excited I have been all season

Today is the start of a new era

Will Sylvia finally explode and put together a scintillating 4 quarter effort?

What will Juice produce as the primary forward target?

Frawley, Petterd,Bate, Jones,... exciting!!!

 

-Is everybody over this season?

I am not over it I am disappointed in it with everything that has happened

-Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

I dont like to lose but I will be a tad annoyed if they manage to win when they couldnt string a win together last week under the circumstances but I like to see them win & it would do the world of good for team morale to win

-Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

No, we have enough young exciting players I dont think an extra couple would make us any better than we currently are. Plus I dont believe in playing for draft picks its so wrong

-Will you be upset if we lose?

Of course, I dont like the losing to Carlton trend they arent even a good team and if we cant beat them without Fev we wont win another game all year

-Are you going?

I want to but I am sick & sitting in the cold wont do me any good & I have a massive week at work this week

-Crowd?

Looking at the weather today I would say 27,000, will be a poor crowd

Not over the season, just viewing it in a different manner than 10 weeks ago. Now just optimistic about the future rather than frustrated with everything.

I care if we lose this week. Carlton without Fevola and Whitnall in a team with even less depth than ours? Bugger the prophecising about whether Carlton will win one more game or not. We should always care - good teams always do.

The concept of tanking is disgraceful and counterproductive. I have no doubt that Brisbane's young players will gain a lot more from their win last night than the club would have achieved by playing for the rest of the season to finish below Carlton or us for the sake of a couple of draft places. There is a difference between selecting a team to lose and planning for next year by giving injured players a rest and surgery they need. I never want us to lose but some losses hurt less than others - when I can see evidence of effort on the part of the players and a plan on the part of the coaches.

I'll be disappointed if we lose but I won't be upset like the Richmond game. Unless we put in an effort equivalent to that night as well...

Won't be going as I have personal commitments today. Will watch it on tv though.

Awful day but Carlton still have a big supporter base - 38,743


I hope our young dynamos turn it on and we win by 10 goals

-Is everybody over this season?

Yes, but I'm looking forward to seeing Newton, Buckley, Petterd, Frawley etc. develop this year for a crack next year

-Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

Of course, they're the Blues (still fuming from last year)

-Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

No- even though some good young players would be nice I want us to finish above Carlton on the ladder, which means more than 4 wins

-Will you be upset if we lose?

Yes, see above

-Are you going?

Yes

-Crowd?

25,000 if bad weather, 30,000 if good

Titan is a moon of Saturn, it has nothing to do with Uranus.

 

Good signs from Newton, Buckley and Dunn today. It makes me think whether Daniher was being way too tight in not giving Newton a fair go earlier though...he might have had a job if he'd been given the chances that Miller has had.

If you listen to the mob here they said he wasn't being played because he wasn't 'mentally right', and there was a 'long term' plan - what a crock of [censored]. Another wasted year playing the same tired old players, and it took our coach to leave for it to change.


I thought Newton did what he was expected to do as a leading forward.......lead hard, took a few grabs, and kicked a few goals.

Still has a fair bit of work to do IMO.........but looks promising!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
