Would you describe it more as Kangaphant or Eleroo?

Depends if it us a forward facing pouch or rearward wombat-style.

Meanwhile the weather has shifted to favour ducks, so I guess Walker is in for a good half.

Carlton do seem to be stemming the bleeding in the third, but that coukd be a combination of the aquatic environment and some evener-upper free kicks.

    This rain will test the ground out by Saturday

    I’m looking at this rain and I just know I’ll be sitting in it come Saturday, reminiscent of the *first gather round game vs Essendon. The result will be different this time.

    *the solitary bright side to torrential rain is no one can tell you’re crying 😭

    Rachele could play for the all blacks

    Good on Riewoldt for discussing how blatant that was and how it impacts the course of the game.

    Umpires try not to insert yourself into the game, challenge level impossible.

    Anyone have any inside gossip as to why ANB left us, now that the dust has settled.

    He left us reluctantly. He loved the MFC, still does. His partner needed to be back home in SA and that’s the sole reason he left.

    That’s not gossip. It’s simply the truth. The reason his partner needed to be back in SA is very personal and of a sensitive nature.

    Bruh.. did ya see it? He kicked it exactly into the space where Thilthorpe should have gone before he even hit a lead. I thought it was brilliant.

    Of course I saw it...brilliant kick.

    .... not playing the %'s though.

    Tex would have had a better chance of kicking it himself, even though outside 50 its the type of shot he makes.

    What a sad representation of the Carlton cheer squad. Two floggers and a few small flags. I’m not bagging the cheer squad but the club surely could’ve done something to get more of them and their gear over there. Carlton is a large, wealthy club with many members, shame on them.

    End of judgement. 🙃

    According to a caller on Dan Gorringe’s podcast, the Carlton cheersquad had a fight to the death with each other in the carpark under the ‘G last weekend.

    What you’re seeing is the weak stragglers who didn’t get caught in the fray.

    I reckon Rankine should save the goal kicking celebrations for later in the year given he single handedly destroyed their finals campaign last year.

    As well as throwing it whenever he wants, the more Cripps dissents the more Downlow votes he gets.

    Well, Carlton may have lost the game but, on the bright side, at least their fans who travelled to Adelaide got drenched.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
