A four-time flag-winner says a Demons star should have saved his post-game frustrations for “behind closed doors” last Friday night.
Christian Petracca, Melbourne, and Carlton dominated discussion across the silver screen on Monday night. Josh Barnes watched Monday night’s footy TV shows so you don’t have to – catch the recap.
They are both 0-4 to start the year after coming into the season hoping to play finals. So is Carlton or Melbourne better placed to bounce back now and in the future? Have your say.
