Because constant negativity is tedious, especially when we are currently 2nd on the ladder and just won a game in the dying seconds against a hated enemy.

Collingwood. MCC would favour Melbourne, AFL would favour Collingwood then the rest are split 50/50 amongst members before going to GA I'd assume? Should be more even than r21 you'd hope.

Having an opinion is fine. Coming on here to bag the team within minutes of one of our most exhilarating wins of the season is just sad.

Silly comment. Over the last 8 weeks we are 5 wins 3 losses with two of those losses coming in the dying minutes. Over the last 21 weeks we are 15 wins 6 losses. We are 2nd on the ladder (probably 3rd later today but who knows). We live to fight another day that's all that counts. Is it better to lose playing well like last week or win playing poorly like last night?

I'll leave the analysis til tomorrow In the meantime [censored] YEAH!!! HAHAHHAHAA SUCK IT CARLTON 😘

Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

Plugger Dunstall and Gordon Coventry would struggle the way we're bombing it in

Brown needs to play in front, can't mark from behind and oppo give away free kicks when he's in front

C'mon Demons it starts tonight 5 more wins is all we need for immortality In the wise words of RDB 10 two letter words If it is to be it is up to me

Maybe we should let the Blues get out to a 4 goal lead at halftime then run them down as was happening to them earlier in the year. Psychologically it's easier to get on a roll chasing a lead than defending one 😜

I'll be watching Kozzie, Spargo, ANB etc closely #forward50tackles

Exactly if we do take on his contract we should be getting draft picks out way, not paying for the privilege! If not walk away and leave them with the albatross or get another club to shoot themselves in the foot.

I'm not saying we shouldn't look for another ruck option. I'm saying we should look for one that is younger or doesn't cost $700k a year and isn't locked in for 5 more years at 29 years of age and with a recent history of being unable to get on the field. Grundy might be ok if you're building a fantasy team but we have more pressing needs I'd like to see us put the cap towards in the next 5 years. If he only had say 2 years left to run you might look at it, but 5? That's gonna handicap you down the track.

If this was a Melbourne player we would be livid that he was suspended. I don't care if he's playing Saturday we should still belt them. If not then we simply aren't up to it.

The reason he said it is because that is what happened.

That's when a player elects to bump - this wasn't a bump, Cripps jumped to contest a loose ball. I don't want to see that physicality legislated out of the game. It's very similar to the Viney hit on Hurn back in 2017 although Vineys was far more egregious. I loved it though.

Agree with you I didn't think it was suspension worthy either. He was contesting a loose ball (it wasn't a marking contest contrary to some previous posts in the thread) and was entitled to jump up for the footy. Ah Chee was concussed but that stuff will happen occasionally in a brutal contact sport like footy. It's not always malicious.

Remember it well - top of the ladder after beating Hawks in round 18 then lost our last 4 games ☹️

2006, Carlton won 3 games for the season - 2 of them against us at Docklands. Cost us top 4. Edit should've kept reading this was covered above 🤣

Agree 100%, if we don't then we're not winning the flag this year so doesn't matter where we finish anyway.
