    Did you watch him? He was shocking - today. Doesn't mean he's better / worse than T Mac but that he was really poor. Today.

    T Mac is not that far off where Rance is; both make mistakes. I think Rance is incredibly overrated. I'd probably rank him ahead of T Mac, but not by that much.

    Damn, you do know that if Adelaide kicked one more goal, we would have slipped back into the top four!!!

    hawks loss to power was interesting - their key mob in mitchell, o'meara, smith roughead et al got enough of it, but port were cleaner with the ball and if vickery is their second key forward / ruck they'll soon discover how limited a footballer he is, like richmond before them.

    bombers look seriously quick with ball movement and foot speed.

    Swans have managed to get through a half of footy without letting St Kilda's tall forwards kick a single goal.

    Partiularly interesting as Sydney don't have a large contingent of tall defenders.

    I'm sure Goodwin is watching closely and taking notes.

    they play the zone defence that we try to play superbly.

    their mids are also slaughtering the saints - steven, billings, and dunstan completely cut out of it.

    mccartin has been hit from pillar to post; he leads with his head every time.

    Well, here you have it. Another big preseason and not one team undefeated. Those last 10 minutes on Thursday night were the difference between first and fifth places.

    Hogan should have a day out if Carlisle is playing on him.  Their next best defender is Brown.  If we get the ball up forward then like Buddy tonight it will be easy pickings.

    Just have to stop Stevens.  No-one tagging him tonight. 

    Hickey is the one to worry about, 16 contested possessions as a ruck.  Max will have his work cut out.

    swans have taken the foot off the pedal big time?

    this is the big issue with the jlt; it's really 'just like training'.

    saints do run really hard.

    Have you seen who is lining up against the saints. I would say at least 6-7 players who won't be there round 1. Saints playing a full list minus Monty. 

    Cameron, heyword, fox, foot, melican. Hewett, smith, marsh,florent

    We'll lose round 1 by about 35 I reckon. 

    Saints more consistent, better runners, taller and stronger book-ends and will make us pay. 

    Swans played an undermanned side however if the saints bring the same pressure as they did in the second half then we are going to struggle.

    the is no room for errors at etihad and saints tackle in packs, causing pressure on our disposal and turnovers.

    our skills aren't good enough yet to stop these turnovers. Saints however are also not at top level for disposal.

    if we can out match their intensity then we are every chance of winning. 

    Any less then our best won't get us over the line

    • 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.
