Another disaster in the offing for Carlton here. Miles ahead of Footscray early on but itâs all Footscray now late in the third quarter as 55 plays 55. The Blues have become the Manchester United of the AFL, the Dallas Cowboys of the AFL, a fallen giant, a constant punchline.
Carlton coach Michael Voss is the spit of Henry Shefflin in every way. A great player, seems like a decent bloke, but everything about him gives the vibe of somebody who doesnât know what heâs doing and that he knows he doesnât know what heâs doing, right down to his facial gestures on the sideline.
Carlton have lost this game to two inevitable Footscray goals after going into the last five minutes ahead and they go to 0-3.
Collingwood humiliating Carlton in driving rain in front of a sold out MCG. Margin 25 points with just over one quarter left and all of that 25 point margin has come in Q3 where there has been total Magpie dominance.
Blues heading for 0-4. This has to be the end of Michael Voss.
Collingwood heading for a statement victory over the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. Leading 80-38 at the end of three quarters. Bobby Hill, Nick Daicos and Jamie Elliott are ELECTRIC.
After a first day thumping by GWS theyâve been quietly very impressive since. Their form is no longer quiet now though.
As a head coach youâd be doing cartwheels at this sort of goal. The chase by Bobby Hill is immense. He did the great Dayne Zorko up like a kipper here.
With Hawthorn showing fallibility in losing at Port Adelaide last week, the Pies are now moving in and around top spot in the POWER RANKINGS.
Is there a lot of trouncings in Aussie rules?
If the West Coast Eagles are playing, yes.
Looking like you might be correct again here if it keeps going this wayâŚ
fuck sake, 3 or 4 really dodgy umpire calls and now all square. Eagles never fail to disappoint these days
Eagles 7 down with two and a half minutes left, Liam Ryan takes a great mark in scoring range. Then he plays on and fucks the ball away. Game over.
Goal with 28 seconds left. Two in it. Maybe a squeak.
Brutal play.
Williams puts 2 in it with 30 seconds left. need a miracle.
and thats that.
fuck sake. hard to know what to make of it. a game they should have won, but at least they were in a position where they should have won so take some positive from that. some really sloppy play though and a bit more composure and ability would have won it, so I dont know if that will come or if they are just shite.
Thereâs hope of winning a game yet, Melbourne and Richmond both have to play the Eagles in Perth.

4 weeks confirmed, as expected.
Collingwood with a dominant third quarter performance in pissing rain on Anzac Day.
74-51 almost at three quarter time.
Scott Pendlebury equalling Jim Stynesâ consecutive game record of 244 today.
The pissing rain knocked out Essendonâs communication systems between the box and pitch level including IT for the entire third quarter. But not Collingwoodâs.
Even the rain in Melbourne supports Collingwood.
Carlton have a pulse. Theyâve beaten Geelong. Letâs see can that spark their season into life. Ladder seriously evening out now with some of the early pace setters coming back to pack and some of the early trailers starting to catch up.

Fremantle Dockers captain Alex Pearce is a Kneecap fan and opposes genocide and has thus had his Twitter account cancelled by the self styled anti-cancel culture mob who actually love cancelling people.
Proper ding dong barney between Collingwood and Geelong at the G here.
The Cats have just taken a 71-70 lead with 15 minutes left.
Big contested mark in front of goal by the Leinster hurling championship style named Ollie Dempsey puts Geelong 77-72 in front with 7 and a half left.
I think the Cats will get this done.
Dangerfield!
83-72.
Utterly incredible scenes at the MCG.
Geelong go 17 points up with 5 minutes left.
Collingwood get 1 point. Then Brodie Mihocek reduces the gap to 90-80 with 2 and half minutes left.
Then Jamie Eliott takes a mark with 45 seconds left but a long way out on the right. He falls short and left, into the goal square. Mihocek takes a contested mark, quickly turns and goals. 20 seconds left.
Centre bounce. Stalemate. Five seconds off. Another bounce, another stalemate, 6 seconds on the clock.
Collingwood get the ball, Steele Sidebottom bombs it towards goal, and with one second left, Jack Crisp in his 245th consecutive game, breaking Jim Stynesâ consecutive games record of 244, takes a contested mark 40 metres out at the perfect slight angle for a left footed kicker.
The siren immediately goes.
The MCG is a red raw coliseum at this moment.
Crisp walks back, comes forward for his moment of destiny, he will not miss.
He hooks it left for a behind.
Geelong win 90-87.
