It is sad Redleg that the enjoyment in my Mondays is now down to sandwich fillings.

I can only dream of alternatives during the Footy season

I think your mondays will improve when we get our forward line back and /or you eat twice as many sandwiches.

    I think that banana sandwiches will need to be on the menu every Monday because I cannot see the MFC improving this side of the mid year break.

    You know you can buy those banana chips, they are quite tasty and will take your mind off the footy.

    Spare a thought for me. On monday I tape all of the footy shows and watch them, Classified, 360, Couch, Talking Footy, Open Mike and it is hard to do when you lose, which we almost always do.

    I can.

    Only if we get our forwards back.

    I honestly believe if we have our best side playing, we are now not that bad.

    I liken it to therapy. Sometimes it's cleansing. Depends upon the magnitude of the loss though. I think tonight will be more cleansing. More positives to take out basically.

    I agree. And I'm happy with the decision on Tyson. Very happy.

    But I think we can make more improvements in the meantime. More risks, lowering eyes without our tall timber forwards, and quicker decision making - less hesitation.

    I'd like if we had our best back 6 in too.

    I noticed Damian Barrett put the boots in again on the Sunday Footy Show. Hutchy reminded him that we had no forward line available and lost 2 before quarter time. I am convinced he has a clear dislike for the Dees.

    He should focus on how much North have ramped up their FD and if it's working. Maybe he could put together something good, seeing they've been tipped for top 4 by many and the fact their club has high expectations!

    Speaking of the blowtorch, wouldn't mind the Swans bouncing back against the Pies this week.

    Would love to see the Pies remain on the bottom after two rounds....

    That may well be true. I'm hopeful of McDonald and Garland getting up. And perhaps Viney.

    Why can we only recruit bad or injured players?

    Glad your're online F l o g g er. I'll give you chance to regain your technological credentials, which you lost when you were unable to advise me about changing my browser. (or would it be more correct to update a browser).... Anyway it seems, no matter what I try, that I cannot upload images to this site. The explanation is that they are too large ( I've heard that before). Any clues?

    Surely you are dagging us!

    Garland has not even been in normal training for two months and Viney has played part of one game and had concussion two weeks ago after missing about four weeks of pre season training.

    I would think he needs two weeks at Casey minimum before appearing at AFL level.

    Things must be desperate up Romsey way when you start asking IT advice to a guy on a footy forum. Do you want Dr Mubutu to give you advice on your heart procedure?

    Well it seems Moonie was correct. I extend the hand of friendship and you rebuff and insult me F L o g. What a vindictive and ugly world we live in. I shall seek solace with a clacker at the Gat.

    Well that's what I would expect from Borewood. BTW your comment about hayseeds and emesis did not go unnoticed.

    Anyway, I'll ask Stuie for IT advice.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
