Review Dees v the Carlton Cheats: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[Biffinator]

Friend, the first match I ever saw was Melbourne v Carlton at VFL Park in 1972. It was a butt-whooping.



Since then there have been an equal number of wins over lows – for instance:



Melb v Carlton Prelim 1988 – a gloomy day even by the lowly standards of Waverley.

Melbourne v Carlton – Elimination Final, 2004

Melb v Carlton 2014 Home and Away - Roos' first triumph in REd and Blue

Melb v Carlton semi final 2023.



In truth, over time, Carlton has given us less grief than, say, Geelong or Hawthorn. Today will go their way by 20 points – they have greater physicality than us.



Go on Dees, prove me wrong!!!

What

And I cannot emphasise this enough

The **** just happened

 

[Keith Knox]

How ****ing good is footy! **** yes!

 

[Daemon]

We may never lose again

 

[DemonZombie_001]

Carlton remind me of Melbourne a few years ago, in that they would be ahead by 30-ish at half time but we all knew they would get run over at the end.

 

[mrmonkey]

Funny thing is I was out all day and missed the first half.

 

[Jamurp]

What an epic win hahaha

 

[Deemanding]

12 at half time and 100 at the final siren.

 

[MarcMaverick]

[Topkent]

Im ****ing floored right now, 1 goal in the first half to 14 in the second half. What the **** just happened

 

[Topkent]

Lol reckon we'd be 24 at full time under Goodwin, in all seriousness probably an honourable 69 to 77 loss.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Holy smokes we won!

Now I’ve gotta go home and watch the game.

 

[Headless]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[PerfectFooty]

lmao, i didn't think we'd win. But it kinda went as expected.

Early days in the season but, Carlton appear to be fast starters but drop off after half time

We on the other hand appear to seemingly be slow starters, but are running out games

I am ready for both sides of supporters to be frustrated with this one

 

[Young Redleg]

This is a new team we're watching everyone. Imagine our side under Goodwin being 40+ points down and winning by 20 ****ing points.

For the first time in three years I'm close to genuinely liking this side

 

[Dory_77]

**** yeah. Never doubt the King! What a game to pull that out for big Gawn and TBone McDonald!

 

[Lord Nev]

Credit to all of JVR for the kickstarting it, King for adjusting it, and Max for making the change as well to hitting it out differently, massively turned it around in the second half. Never saw that with Goody. #KingBall

Kozzie had 33 touches. The work he has put in to become a midfielder that can run all day is incredible.

 

[Scythe]

 

[Topkent]

This is the weirdest good bad ugly I've ever done. At half time I could have single handedly punched on with every one of them

Second half Kozzie was best player in the comp level, Fritsch completely shook his opponent and was kicking everything, Blake Howes had the game of his career absolutely torched his opponent and Lever was pretty good as well.

Windsor started running and carrying, Langford with a brilliant forward goal to show what he's capable of. Steele and Sparrow started to up the pressure


WHAT THE ****

 

[I Love Lamb]

Wtf just happened.
