Chook

Langdon is fearing touch imo. He's gone soft as butter.

Our ball movement along the wings is terrible and Carlton are giving us nothing.

Classy gather and goal from ANB!!! We've got the lead back and my voice even though I've already lost it is on its way to being lost again! EDIT: Carlton and score reviews. Bloody kill me. Kosi having a mare.

Langdon is a shadow of himself. Every time the ball goes to him he finds a way to stuff it up.

Smith great mark - looks our most dangerous forward.

The ball movement after starting well is starting to get a bit of headless chook about it, and Carlton are killing us on the rebound. Langdon can't win a one on one to save himself, and Hunter despite being good tonight isn't much better in that area. Also can't win a centre clearance. Gawn is flagging imo.

Not a fan of Max's centre bounce tap work tonight - he's letting Carlton have first use of the ball. Clarry's up and under kicks are also killing us.

Been one of our best.

Jeez. Perfect quarter basically except for Max letting that centre clearance be taken away by his opposing ruck for a clean entry to de Koning. Spargo really lively.

Disappointing to allow a quick entry out of the centre after Carlton score a goal. Gawn has to lock that in there.

Interesting strategy to give Max a rest - no ruck at all.

Just as good as last week imo, but it's the ball movement getting it in there quicker that is creating these scoring opportunities. Tomlinson huge defensively covering for the aggressive ball movement.

Is there any doubt anymore that Tomlinson is in our best defensive setup? Hope Goody can see it.

That Tomlinson kick to the pack would 100% have been marked by Moore last week. Instead they spoiled each other. Carlton's ability to handle our forward dominance will be heavily tested. 2 goals up early. The start we would have dreamed of.

Ball movement is so so so much better this week.

Salem starting well.

Kosi you [censored]...

This is positive. Viney, Langdon, Lever all involved early. Tomlinson providing a lot of stability. Good start Dees.

I would actually be tickled pink to see the Maynard incident repeat tonight or tomorrow night and see the AFL squirm in the bed they've made. I don't wish injury on anyone but I do wish great misfortune on the AFL.

Can't we take Curnow out? Why do other clubs get to smash our players but we can't "smother" or "knee" theirs?

Where else would you expect a sub to come from? Williamstown?

Makes sense. He's our most versatile remaining player. Better sub than Laurie honestly.

It certainly would be embarrassing, even with the injury reasons. You can smell the whole AFL world wants it to happen as well. The days of pity for the MFC are long gone. We are now hated, and they want us to fail. I suppose that's progress?

He looks like one of those stink flowers that start off pleasant enough only to "blossom" 7 years later into a horrible visage of rotting cow meat and carrion fowl.

Weird they couldn't get Gary Lyon and Daisy Pearce.
