The antithesis of 'jogo bonito' ... that was ugly, especially the second half. But getting a win was important for CFC. A bye next week means the Blues are undefeated for a fortnight. Watch out AFL, thst sounds like the start of a run 😁

    Looked like two bottom four sides. Hope we are a cut above them

    Yep, although I'm not sure we'll want to measure ourselves against those 2 teams. 6-8 wins max for the Blues and maybe 4 or 5 wins for the Tiges

    Above that is the 9-12 win bracket which would be an excellent result for a team on the semi-rebuild (like we are)

    In other words, we still need to have reasonable expectations otherwise losing starts becoming a habit. A lot rests with our experienced players

    Interesting game tonight. Very evenly matched teams, but Richmond just seem a tiny bit more rusty. Almost as if Carlton had played an extra match to shake the cobwebs off. 🤔

    I wonder if any of the "bye" teams from last week will win (except North vs PA).

    I went to the game tonight and rather came away feeling buoyed that Carlton ran out of puff. Hopefully we can run St Kilda off their feet.

    A woeful game, going to be a long last season for Voss... they are lucky that the tigers are a young side and Lynch couldn't kick.

    If we're measuring against that we'd want to get a bloody good tape measure.

    F1 Sprint Qualifying from Shanghai China tonight at 6:30pm. Goes for 45 minutes.

    Mercedes or Ferrari for pole.

    Can OP beat Norris?

    I was worried Richmond would look super rusty and under prepared against Carlton who had the supposed advantage from playing the week before.

    Aside from a poor start, Richmond were the better team for 3 quarters and you honestly couldn't perceive any advantage. If anything Richmond looked fresher and more rested?

    Or maybe Carlton are genuinely woeful??

    Hopefully the Saints playing the week before won't be the advantage a lot of us may think it could be for Sunday's game.

    Yes, why aren’t the AFL aware enough to have all of the Round 0 teams play each other in Round 1, to give the rest a chance to catch up? Seriously brain-dead at AFL headquarters!

    Carlton were very ordinary. 1 goal in a half should not see you win a game and 9 out of 10 times they would have been overrun like normal.

    They are 0-2 for all I care. Just hope we can knock them off.

    Round 0 !

    The stupidity of Round 0 is mind blowing. I cannot comprehend the motivation behind continuing this.

    What does it add to the season?

    Who benefits?

    If it's the vibe, maybe next year we add Round 00! And the year after Round 000. It is so moronic it could only come from the AFL

    Ha ha, it’s like casino’s now adding extra 0’s to roulette tales to extract more money out of gamblers. It’s all about squeezing in an extra round and getting more people to watch games they may normally not have watched hence more money for the AFL and broadcasters.

    Wouldn't that negate the leg-up they're giving to the favoured teams? 🤣

    So true. Arguably the top 8 “darling” teams got the gig in Round 0. All the northern expansion teams and the VIC powerhouses.

    Gotta give Carlton fans credit. They are at least smart enough to not celebrate that “win”, but cant say the same for Voss and the players. How could you double fist pump and give high fives like you have just won the Prelim after beating the second worst side in the comp on paper, and only “winning” because Lynch couldn't convert Richmond’s dominance. What a joke of a club..

    We should pump this club in 2 weeks time and end this disgusting 3 match losing streak we have against them.

    If we dominate and get the opportunities Richmond got, Mihochek, Fritsch, Pickett and even a Chandler should cash in handsomely.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
