What a weak finish!

[BT]

We just blew some handy percentage in that last quarter. If that's the best we can manage, you'd have to favour Richmond next week.

Maybe it was all the underdone blokes coming back in the same week? Either way this week was just as worrying as last week really. We need to fire right up & soon.

The 4 points are some consolation.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Don't be a negative nancy. We played some good footy for three quarters, and got the 4 points. I'm not complaining.

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

well i am personally happy to get a win after a week of emotional stuff which was meant to favour Carlton. So i am happy we got over that stuff and played well.

Just remembering that we had a number of underdone players who got a bit of a rest in the last quarter. Did get a bit frazzled about the effort in the last quarter, we should have won by 60 points.

With bruce and Whelan back in, the team has a whole lot more strength - happy to see the backline could play without Rivers personally!

 

[Kissboy]

Like most, am happy to come away with the four points. That being said we missed a lot of easy opportunities in front of goal in those first three quarters. Yeah could have wone by 60 +. But in the context of the game, happy with a win.

For those who get into people for talking about the negatives after a win, better to address them now than after a loss. That last quarter was absolute rubbish, as Daniher said in his aftermatch press conference "It's not often Melbourne wins a game and we dont sing the song". Just total rubbish.

On the other side of the coin a good first 3 quarters, if we had kicked straight could and should have been much further in front by 3 quarter time. Sylvia's form is encouraging, as is the return of Read.

What happened to Brad Green? I didnt catch the game, but he didnt get a stat in the last quarter.

Col was good & it was great too see Bruce, Neitz, Whelan & Read back.

Read pulled up pretty sore apparently so he'd have to be in some doubt with a 6 day break ahead of us. We'll need to replace Bell regardless, thankfully Miller will return from suspension.

 

[melbournemartin]

wats up with Bell?

also while i wasnt happy that we gave up some percentage, i was still happy enough with the win. we shat all over that sad excuse for a club. 28 or so thousand **************** carlton suporters saw their team crumble like they always do now. you might say im being a bi mean there but i did not meat 1 carlton supporter that wasnt a ****************, living in the past

Glad ND kept them out there to give them a fair spray. We did very well to get to the position we were in at 3/4 time, but really blew some good percentage. I'm pretty disappointed.

Apparently Read has done his hammy again. See you in 5-6 weeks.

Absolutely, extremely happy with ND giving them heaps after the game and the team deciding not to sing the song. As Robbo said on the footy show today, you won't beat half decent sides if you have last quarters like that.

Should have pumped us but good win. I like the dees but Yze_Magic gets on my nerve , Good luck for the rest of the season.

he does that to a lot of us, just ignore him

wasnt great to squander some easy percentage but we played really well against a crap outfit.

great to see Neitz present well, robbo get some goals and bruce is back

Yze_Magic gets on my nerve .

Same here. Complete tosser.

Yze_Magic gets on my nerve

Convinced he's a supporter of another club who just enjoys being hated across the net. Nobody can be that much of a ********.

The views of the MFC lunatic fringe do not necessarily represent the rest of us.

the views of the rest of you is of no consequence to the MFC lunatic fringe. begone.

Look at the way Geelong smashed North in the last quarter & then compare our percentages. There's your answer. Not many decent teams have missed out on belting Carlton this year, missed opportunity...

Maybe were in a slump? The media gave up on us after the St.Kilda loss. If we're in a slump, it'd be first time in my lifetime that we've been able to win during one. We're only just going at the minute, so hopefully there's heaps of room for improvement.

 

[Klyntonius]

Exactly right BT. Was a perfect opportunity to gain hard-to-come-by percentage and we blew it. I think that for quite a while now we have been running short on a few cylinders. Time to string a few together to show we're serious. Oh, and when we hit a slump, everyone will see it bright and clear.
