Fun fact. Going back to 1991 every premier has played in at least one other grand final in the five years either side of their premiership year.

We were on track to be the exception until 2021. Every club since us has achieved it already (ie Geelong 2020/2 and Collingwood 2018/23) except Melbourne.

I reckon they will be the first.

That is a fun fact

2022 really should have been their year. Not sure how they shat the bed so badly after starting the season the way they did.

It is looking more and more unlikely but they've still got the top end talent to do it. Playing such a dull style of footy this season. I guess its stemmed from the fact they have no trust in their forward line but it's been quite uninspiring footy despite decent results.

Can Spangher study the Blues forward line to actually understand how to balance 3 key forwards and give each space to work?

Yeah the guy at Carlton is quite good. May have seen him before with many on this board claiming he couldn't coach a forward line

The last four survivors in 2021 all had issues in 2022 except Geelong. Melbourne won fewer than half their games in the second half of the season and went out in straight sets, we scraped into finals and blew a huge lead and Port missed altogether.

I think with the hubs etc that finals series and coming back to COVID madness etc was particularly taxing. I think they ran out of gas.

I’ll admit I was one of them…but back then we had Josh Schache and Billy Gowers and the worst small forward set up ever carried by retirement year Dickson.

Yep, and he was one of the main drivers of pushing Naughts forward, was excited about it in his role

Gowers is leading the goal kicking in the VFL, maybe we should bring him back.

Could Carlton choke on this

No

 

[Next Waiting]

I detest them both. Sort of Sophie's Choice kinda thing but without the love.

 

[Doggy]

Ha ha.. that awful dangerous tackle call might be the difference

 

[Next Waiting]

No

They absolutely could

 

[CarnTheScray]

Voss had the greatest face of contemplation just then

 

[CarnTheScray]

Game over. Get ****ed Pickett.

 

[Next Waiting]

I can't stand Melbourne. Unfortunately I quite like Gawn, Petracca and Rivers and wish all of them played for us.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Almost an all time choke from Carlton

Gawn is a w***er

Saved by a non dangerous tackle that will be talked about all week now

Id forgotten about that. So much happened after that.

Yeah putrid decision, one of the worst you'll see

 

[Next Waiting]

Gawn is a w***er

But he's a w***er that would look great in RW&B

 

[fargy]

Goal accuracy matters…who’da thunk it?! That was intense, not because of the close game, but because Kayo decided to buffer its way through the last ten minutes.

 

[Doggy]

But he's a w***er that would look great in RW&B

But still a w***er

 

[Fossie 32]

HTB against Carl in the centre near the end was BS

Melbourne were on the march, Petty clunked a mark 25m out and should’ve kicked it. He didn’t, time was sucked out of the game and they lost.

It’s difficult to say it’s the main causal factor, because so much happened afterwards. But htf can an AFL player miss that shot. It’s pathetic.
