Stefan Martin is quick becoming our everywhere man. Crazy, as though last year and even in the pre-season he couldn't hold an overhead mark to save his life. His touch on the ball is fantastic for a bloke that big.

    GR spot on, He is the big positive in 2011 for me.

    Gysberts we know can play, Tapscott looked the goods but could not get on the park.

    But Stef is braining them as far as I can see.

    After three games he is "the" Positive for me.

    Fans have more than enough justification to be "negative" considering they are paying and giving their time up to watch the games. Also, this is a message board and an online community, and people can be as negative/positive as they like. It's fine either way, and no one should tell someone else otherwise.

    Here is a big positive for all you negative cry babies.... WE ARE STILL STANDING.

    FFS 4 years ago we looked to be dead as a club. That we are still here, playing, developing, progressing, surviving... that is the biggest positive of them all and everyone needs to remember that every time they feel like having a whinge about things.

    We are thriving as a club, and to me that is the only thing that matters at this point in time.

    Exactly so that's why fans have every right to set up a topic people can post positive things given the choice...

    A lot of other threads turn negative...as u point out it's your choice...im not saying anyone has to come here and say anything except providing a positive forum as a topic...

    It's only taken few replies for you to get on and state the obvious rather than keeping to the vibe of thread....well done..

    Signing Scully would be a positive.

    Everything else is going along fine.

    Hi all,

    I don't know if many of you feel the same as i do....

    Just a feeling that there is alot of negativity on this site and that this could be a thread where only real positive things are posted about the club, the team, the coaches etc..

    I want to start by saying no matter what I love this club and I'm absolutely over the moon at the membership tally this year! I really want to see us crack that 40k!

    In addition can't wait for today's game and I'm hoping that good things about today's game get posted here as acknowledgement...

    Not sure if there is an appetite for this but thought why not provide an alternative!

    Go Dees!!

    I'm with you on the negativity front. I'm also not so keen on the way threads seem so often seem to deinigrate into personal insults. Call me old fashioned but i was brought up to belive in the importance of respect and being polite. I'm keen on footy discussion not cheap point scoring.

    A postive from today? Jurrah - worth going along just for him, really smart in the last quarter the way he sheparded the Moloney goal through. Also Gysberts, he's a natural footy player and just a ball magnet. And Wonna showed how valuable his forward pressure will be in the next few years.

    Oh and 4 points. As i posted in another thread this was a real danger game and i'm happy to come away with a win

    So, no positives?

    Gotta say, Stefan Martin's in awesome form. Gys was great too.

    I remember when we nearly beat Collingwood in round 2 last year. Nick Maxwell was interviewed after the match and said something like ``good teams find a way to win even when they're playing badly." I think that happened today.

    Just imagine who we'll beat if we play four quarters of football some day soon. We still haven't even played two quarters in a game yet. That's a positive and a negative for obvious reasons.

    Some Postives so far

    Amazing improvemnet in Stef Martin

    Tapscott - just a brute

    Gysberts - a inspired draft selection - could be the pick of the bunch

    Players getting game time and experince

    No injuries - Injury free list is the best in many years

    Only lost 1 game out of three

    Scully to return

    Jordie Mac to return

    Our Midefield will be feared and the envy of all in the years to come

    Slowly building momentum - Team has yet to find true form - All the signs are pointing that we will come home with a wet sail

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
