    Rosebury (8), Foot (2) and Williamson (22) tonight.   At least that bald clown Nicholls is not in attendance.  Rosebury is generally good.   Williamson is the worry IMHO.   Let's hope they aren't a factor.   Just want to see a competitive effort tonight and in all likelihood we win if we bring that.   Dees by 26.

    There will be enormous pressure on the umps , with 70000 Tiger fans screaming “ baaaaallll” every time,immediately before we take possession. Also the umps will be influenced by them on deliberate OOB decisions.

    Last year they got a huge armchair ride in Q1, despite never having the ball.

    True, but how much do they want it. We have the talent to beat Richmond.

    Still quite a bit of rain around.

    It will be a wet and slippery ball.

    Weid a late out maybe?

    Staying near the ground, with just under 3 hours to go, looks like it's clearing from the west.


    Its very wet for the Weid. Smith would handle the conditions better.

    I think that we can handle, it's more actual rain that seems to make us literally have a meltdown.

    Besides even in the rain last week I felt that we were down a tall, so Weids playing is not an issue. He isn't exactly a clunky forward, he is quite agile and he can give Gawn a chop out in the ruck, which after Harmes' effort last week is much needed.

    The g drains amazingly well. if it the drizzle clears in the next 30 mins or so it will be fine

    We need targets forward to bring the ball to ground still.

    I'd bring Fritsch in (he is just so clean) for Harmes.


    Raining in Collingwood at the moment, sky is very grey and gloomy.

    Surface water will remain which is what will make it slippery.

    At the G now and the rain is getting heavier.

    I’m in Docklands looking NW. it is looking clearer.  I expect the rain will pass in about 1/2 an hour.


    I hope it keeps raining. We can't just pray it never rains when we play. If we can't win on the MCG on a wet day we don't deserve to play finals.

    Radar suggests itll have gone over well before the start. Hopefully the surface drains well

    • 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.
