Its easy to come out after the heat has been put on the team and the coach and thrash the corws by 96 points but it will mean nothing if we cant back it up next week.

We need to prove we can win at other grounds and we havent won at Etihad in awhile and last year North thrashed us. This is a game we should win plus Id love to see boomer put on his backside by Tapscott or anyone for that matter.

2 wins in a row would be fantastic and keep our spot in the 8.

    We have seen it now - so therefore absolutely NO EXCUSES ANY MORE. If you don't put in, you must be put out.

    Each and every player MUST put in like today to get over the Dogland and the Roos hoodoo next week.

    Great effort all concerned.

    A great performance today, but you're right. The same effort and intensity needs to be bought to the table next week. And we need to capitalise on our chances. We totally dominated the whole match but only dominated the score board in the second half today.

    i think we were only in 30 seconds into the 1st Quarter and you just knew they had come to play.

    Win, lose or Draw, I just want the effort they displayed today.

    If we play like we did today I have every confidence in us breaking the hoodoo. North are crap.

    But if we don't, we will lose. Pure and simple.

    Intensity kept us in the game in the first half when our skills were hit and miss.

    Intensity blew them out of the water when the skills got more polished.

    That's what they need to take from today.

    Exactly right! We have just proven the old adage that a week is a long time in football but it works the other way too.

    Great performance today but it means NOTHING if we don't back it up so don't get carried away...

    As was on here last week that WC game could be the turning point for us as we realized we need some serious changes to our attitude.

    We back it up and this may just be our turning point when we finally gain some consistency but we play terribly again next week and it's back to square one.

    Was great to see that was Deano's main theme in the press conference today.

    Come on Dees! Next week is our test!

    • 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.
