    wasn't the worst. That award goes to gillies. Pains me to see that jumper worn by such ineptness.

    Gilies had an absolute shocker. He needs to watch the ball in the air and not watch his man, he is always out of position when the ball lands...

    No. He's low on confidence, in a defence being bombarded by opposition forward thrusts. Garland did some okay things tonight. I don't think many played four quarters tonight (the exception perhaps being Mitch Clark). The clumsiness was present almost universally by players in MFC jumpers. It's more an illustration of being belted week in week out, than it is of an ability to play the game.

    Not many people will agree with me, but I still believe we have a core group of players, forwards and backs, that will make a great AFL team. Currently, I would point to a lack of structures, tackle counts and one percenters, along with our rucking capacity that condemn us to the bottom of the AFL table.

    This is something that was all too clear tonight. He would approach the majority of contests out of position. Surely Geelong would have hammered correct positioning into him?

    Clumsy and uncertain - but tried to take the game on at times. Would probably be the worst defender at most clubs except for ours.

    Gillies is just clumsy and uncertain.

    I am no Garland fan, but Gillies makes him look like Steve Silvagni and Glen Jakovich's love child.

    I reckon I built the anti-Garland bandwagon with my own two hands a couple of years ago, but at least he made some run tonight. But you can tell he is just sick to death of losing every week. He just doesn't care anymore, and to be honest I find it hard to muster up the passion to blame him.

    Garland was the least of our problems. He was ok defensively and he tried to provide some run.

    Someone needs to physical remove Gillies from this team forever. Worst defender I've seen at Melbourne, and I've sat through a lot of Alistair Nicholson. Totally and utterly hopeless. And lost his cool as well to give away dumb frees. Just epically terrible.

    I agree. None of our defenders covered themselves in glory tonight but Gillies was unbelievably poor. McDonald had a shocker but that was less of a surprise (given his lack of game time)than Gillies' absolute buther's job. Garland did a couple of OK things and may be coming good again....hopefully.

    All in all, a really bad night. Please don't put us on TV..it's embarrassing at the moment.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
