In all honesty, I thought the Blues provided a good blueprint on defeating the Demons. They were well prepared and almost pulled it off.
Melbourne have no idea on how to move the ball forward if they have to go out wide. Reminded me a bit of the 2017 GF.

Watched the end of the Melbourne, Carlton game. Given how close it was you would think it was anyone's game, but Carlton were smashing the Dees around the ground and really should have won. Gawn went in to the ruck and a couple of centre clearances later they had created opportunities and took them. Actually thought Brown was getting the ball to ground to create an opportunity when Pickett kicked the goal, reckon that was a good play by Brown.
Melbourne were lucky to win that. Melbourne play like that and they will not win the flag, nowhere near the team they were in 2021. Melbourne were getting pressured, they were outnumbered at the contest, Carlton were all over them.
Plus, Melbourne way more inside 50s and very inaccurate. Their forward line is barely functional and the defence is just not what it was.
The number of free kicks not paid is astronomical in the game these days, which of course leads to massive inconsistency because no-one can tell whether a free will be paid or not. There was a Carlton free paid late in the game when the Carlton player was running for the ball and their arm was grabbed by a Melbourne player. Clearly a free kick for holding the man. Trouble is the 50 odd that happen every game and they pay 2 or 3 of them. Complete joke.

Will be a sweet entree to the finals set up if we manage to slap the hawkers tomorrow n guarantee our finals berth, then the Woofers follow up by slapping the Hawkers next week n just leave the Bloosers dangling on a must win game against Colonwood to get back into the eight.
There'd be a few clenched n puckered arseholes at Carlscum sweating on the result.

Melbourne are lucky
Viney couldn't hit up a basic 20 metre pass
That's what I saw

Like the old days!
I think the AFL should look at this and utilise , somehow every ground, every state and play ALL games on Saturday 2.10pm.
Those days….
Cut it out BB, let us enjoy your loss for a little while
You'll have me feeling sorry for youse if you keep that up
Being serious.........I thought you got the wrong end of the pineapple from the maggots tonight.
Saw an absolute doozy in the centre square. Cripps has the ball and 1 arm pinned just tossed it backwards. It went to a Melbourne player but still, he had one arm pinned and disposed of the ball not by foot, how in the hell could that be a legal disposal?

Thought they were terrible tonight. That fwd line has major issues. Blues cooked that bad.
The Collingwood smaller forwards are the main danger to the Blues next week. Do the Blues have the defensive smalls to stop the likes of Elliot, De Goey and Free Kickivin, thats the issue for the Blues.
Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, McKay and Curnow, provide the Blues with the weapons to beat the Skunks.
Depends on how much damage the Blues playing group will have sustained after tonight.
Yeah. people can confuse a close game with a great game. Happened last week, even on here, lots saying Coll v Melb was fantastic. Didn't get much traction though after the afterglow. It wasn't a bad game. Also a great game can blow out a bit at the end and it can sink without a trace.
*smile* them, they deserve every rough turn of that particular pineappleCut it out BB, let us enjoy your loss for a little while

all the other game scores up on the scoreboard at the G. And the race results.
And why wouldn't you throw the ball? You are likely to get away with it about 80% of the time so it is the percentage play.
If only the maggots would actually enforce the rules as they are written - throwing is not allowed.
