    Bruise free football - from both sides. Pretty sad that these two teams were afforded the respect of a Trumpeter and the Last Post. Not much intensity out there.

    I'm in Perth as you are and in peak hour traffic morning and night I pass a work ute painted red and blue with a logo in the rear window, just thought it may be you as there aren't a lot of us in Perth.

    But they have SOS recruiting. They've got no hope. He's useless.

    In fairness to SOS he brought over Marchbank Plowman Pickett from GWS who all look like will be quality players in the future.

    His draft picks in Petrevski Seton, Curnow, Fisher, Weitering, Silvagni Williamson will also add depth and class to their side over the next couple of years. They still have alot of holes on their list but they have a good base to build on.

    I have a serious hate for Carlscum more then anyone but i think their future does look bright... unfortunately

    They're at least 5 years away from challenging. As soon as Murphy and Simpson retire and Gibbs nicks off to Adelaide, they will get pummelled regularly. 

    Curnow looks okay, but I wonder about his size for a KPF. Marchbank looks like he reads the play well. Pickett and Petrevski-Seton look nippy. Weitering is class, but is being played forward, because they're ordinary forward.

    If they end up being another 3-5 years from even challenging for finals, Cripps will leave and then they're [censored].

    I hope that happens. Hate Carlton with a passion.

    I get so depressed watching Ollie Wines

    exactly what we still lack

    Grunt. 

    We don't lack grunt... I know you like complaining, mate, but we've got plenty of Wines' type. We need more diversity in our midfield makeup if anything.

    Nah mate, not me. I also pass a few vehicles with MFC rego plates or membership stickers on the rear window.

    I usually just apply the small MFC member sticker to the rear of my vehicle. The rest of the stickers that come in the membership pack I save up and strategically place on my mates cars and wait to see how long it takes them to notice. You might've spotted one of my Freo mates car. ?

    He's a good player, having a great season. Limited decision maker, but tough around the contest.

    We don't lack grunt. It was just an opportunity to imply we stuffed up the Wines v Toumpas draft again. Let it go.

    F$5& Toumpas A F! I am watching tonights games. 

    Wines is the sort of players who wouldn't have let last weeks 3rd Q happen

    WE STILL LACK GRUNT

    No. We lack leadership. We have plenty of grunt.

    Leadership and Grunt can be the same thing. Playing hard through fatigue

    Disagree, mate, but each to their own.

    As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

    They have no forwards. Malthouse cleared them out

     

    fantastic

    I have just turned it on

    OMG the inventors of tanking seem to be perfecting the art form

    CFC may have been fooled by the success Bolton had with a list that maybe even Neeld could have had success with

    To those who have had the courage to watch it all, are CFC that awful or are Port good, or third option, neither?

    And they haven't built a midfield. Should have traded Gibbs last year and they should be blooding midfielders now around Murphy and Cripps.

    Highlight of the match so far was Jane Bunns quarter time weather update

    Jane might not always get the weather right, but really, who cares ?????

    It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

    • 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.
