Did I just hear BT proclaim "And the crowd roars!" following a Carlton goal? It's artificial crowd noise in an empty stadium. ?‍♂️

I read that as a negotiating ploy to secure the outcome of a lesser sentence for Pickett - particularly as with Spargo not in selection plans anyway and was still allowed to play in the practice matches, his suspension was rather virtual.

Just watched the Goodwin post-match press conference. We was asked about the possibility of another tall (e.g. Wied or Brown) up forward and he was adamant the current mix was to be persevered with. Hard to fathom based on today's performance.

Watch how quickly this forum will be eye rolling at Carlton's flag-less quarter century should we pinch one before they do! As for the Cats - get your flag count into double figures, then come back to us.

While we're at it, the Physicist one is wrong too. It should read gas and liquid. Fluid refers to gases and liquids.

I've heard about a close tag but that is going too far! ?

Surely that should be grounds for a forfeit on their part!?!?

Not in 2x and incumbent Brownlow medal winner Fyfe's league. Well... $h!t.

Someone interviewed on Inside Melbourne (perhaps Richo) said Smith as a defender was due to it apparently being easier on his body.

1) do we bring Kozzie back next week, and if so 2) who goes out for him? Jones? Melksham? Neither really like-for-like replacements... ?

On today's showing there are three teams worse than Carlton. Imagine what this would have turned into if Carlton turned up in the first 1.5 quarters.

To sum up the shambles, the team belts the song out with gusto before skipper Max is even back in the rooms - first win as Captain.

Phew

Crucial composure from Tmac to Fritsch there

Is it premature to call Omac in for Smith next week...?

That nowhere handball from Mikshakes. Ugh.

[censored] downfield. What a joke

Trac you absolute star. That's the way to grab a game by the scruff of its neck!

Salem being too cute with that dinky inboard kick

Damn

Melb 5 . 2 . 32 to Carl 0 . 0 . 0

Keep it up - percentage will be absolutely critical this year

Could easily have been 50 to 0 that quarter - but great signs! Loving the intensity & much better entry into fwd 50.

Loving it!

Rivers looks great! What a kick
