Were you drunk when you wrote this one, joeboy?

After last weeks, which was really good, this one is way off the mark.  Your assessment of Salem's game is weird - he was sensational in the clinches with 8 clearances, tough around the contest and had an influence on the game.

 

Waite was his opponent today and he wasn't at the races ran him ragged. Waite had no impact at all.

Agreed was loose in the 1st but corrected this and played his part no doubt Oscar, Frost, Lever and Hibbo should always be the constant 4 defenders in our set up. With others rotating off half back, finally got the balance right.

Salem?? He was involved in everything! I actually like where is form is heading.

Agree. He did a Jack Viney today.

In the HFF members side a hobbling north player received a decent side bump from Salem while waiting for the ball up and pushed him over just for fun after the Roo player just got to his feet.

A mean streak?

Thought Garlett's steal in the pocket qualified as heroics.

To notch up his 300th goal too!

Jetta is 100% struggling with injury. I sit near the bench and he looks so sore every time he comes off. He also looks slow off the mark, slower than usual. I think he is battling on, because he is Jetta, but he is not fully fit in my opinion. 

Salem was excellent, especially in the first half. 

Also if only all players were ‘surprisingly held’ for 20 touches, 5 clearances, 8 score involvements and 2 goals like Oliver ?

Watched Frosty closely today. Did some good things but has the unique capacity of being able to outsmart himself. Should always be played alongside a smart footballer.

Would prefer Frost at Casey...we will struggle in big games if we need to rely on him, he's just not reliable. No football IQ.

I hope Petty comes on quickly & Hunt finds form.

Oliver - was surprisingly held

20 disposals 2 goals & 6 tackles...not his best return but Jacobs has taken some big name scalps in the past.

Clarry showed he can handle a tag, great composure for a kid.

They were saying on the radio Jetta has some knee tendinitis that needs to be managed, he certainly did look sore at times today

Like it or not, Salem is one of our most important players. Once Watts left, he is the last remaining bits of class. I have really high hopes for him.

 

Lewis wasn’t wayward.

80% disposal efficiency and our best by foot.

Some of his passes were sublime.

Ugh I’ve had that for 10+ years. It’s shithouse. I feel for him!


Think you should take a break Joeboy, rubbish assessment. 

Garlett worried North defenders all day and took a lot of off the ball [censored] from them, yet still kicked 3. 

I’m not a Salem fan, but credit where it’s due, best 4 quarter game from him ever.

Clarry showed he’s quickly working out how to beat a tag, the move forward in the last should have been tried earlier, easily beat his opponent

Just because he kicked goals in the last doesn't mean it was the only time he was tried there.

He has been rotating forward in the first 3 games as he did again against North.

Good to see him hit the scoreboard yesterday, he will get better at the role.

Jetta did ok

Hopefully he's running back into form

 

Or running into fwds !! ;)

That was GOLD 

A few thoughts 

Frost, Welcome back son

Clarry, Class when needed

Oscar, Dreadful all day

Max, Superstar in making

Hogan, Outsmarted Col Klink

Kent, Welcome back son

Bugg, 4 Goals WOW

Neal Bullen, Back to Casey

Harmes, Drinks own bathwater

Tracca, sublime all day

 

Jones - continued excellent season ~ tick

Bugg - bobbed up effectively ~ excellent day out

Kent - an encouraging return ~ can he maintain?

Garlett - no heroics today ~ freakyness freaks opposition 

Oliver - was surprisingly held ~ earnt his pay

Hogan - prolific all game ~ verge of super-stardon

Petracca - tough and dynamic ~ becoming more Martin

Fritsch - some impressive touches ~ in and out

Lewis - important but wayward ~ head in hands

Vince - steady in defence - excellent again today

Melksham - struggling for form ~ is he injured?

Salem - just a game ~ best MFC game

Tyson - prolific but wasteful ~ usual Tyson game

Wagner - increasing in confidence ~ worth persisting with

Frost - exciting but iffy ~ Lever good influence?

Gawn - dominated the centre ~ best since Jim

Harmes - tough but limited ~ bath water problem

Hibberd - was disappointing again ~ did as needed

Jetta - just a shadow ~ carrying injury probably

Lever - learning to adjust ~ Frost might help

McDonald - made important decisions ~ better than Dunn !!!

Neal-Bullen - didn’t show out ~ requires more consistency

Re Oscar listening on the radio they said on a number of occasions that he had done everything humanely possible to stop Brown but couldn’t. Brown got 4 but 2 were from dubious frees by someone else. I think Oscar had a draw on the night. 

Brown has the loving umpire relationship, i think it's got to do with "the run". And the everyone see me"walk up"

Not only that, but Brown kicked at least 1 goal from a down-field free kick.  Nothing Oscar could do about that.

Also, I'm pretty sure Waite kicked one from a down-field free too.

Oscar and Frost worked well.  Can absolutely see our backline fitting the three (inc Lever) moving forward.

  • 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?
