Jeffy for ANB any day.

How did Jeffy play in the VFL?

 

HOGAN BOG so far, has some competition but he's playing with a desire that is beautiful to watch. We were lucky the Saints shoot like the Somali militia. Pat TomMc the million, while the game was in the balance at the start he did some 1% things that demonstrated will.

ANB should play for the Saints. Can't kick for ....!

I thought he was ?

The inverese of everyone else, great goal kicking accuracy, cannot hit a target in the field...and moves like treacle.

 

Looks like he is running in wet cement. 

His disposal is dumb. It’s not even bad. It’s just dumb. He makes awful decisions. It’s like his brain malfunctions every time he touches the footy. 


Now we need to break them in the 3rd and go on with it in the 4th!

let's hope the 2nd quarter was the infamous shite quarter.

I still struggle with the Tyson hate. 

Had two shanks. Pinged holding the ball im the back half (Hunt and Hannan should have been pinged in the first quarter for the same) and the second shank in giving it off to Jones when he was still when both were going to get done.

Other than that he’s been really handy with his hands and some nice targets hit across the ground. At least he tries to hit a target rather than bombing it long to no one all the time

Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

Hard to see him doing much wrong

I mean ..Hard to see him doing much...

Back to the Magoos son

We are using the corridor a lot more which is good to see. Getting a lot of repeat entries into fwd 50 but still very wasteful, because it’s tge Saints we’re getting away with it. 

 


We are all over them.

The ground is a disgrace. Impossible to bounce the ball on the run.

50 points up at 3/4 time please

Good first half.

Hannan presents a lot, probably has more than any other forward, but we either kick too short or too long. He was getting frustrated towards the end there. Although a few times caught flat footed.

I wouldn’t mind a few more quarters like that

Game in many respects is fairly close. It is StKildas shocking kicking keeping them out of it for the momment. I don't like the indiscriminate handballs we do sometimes but we have played much better than last week.

Tmac was as far over as the Carlton player vs pies in the GF in the 70’s

Harmes?

You're right, it may be rudimentary, I always look at total scoring shots to get a sense of closeness... they're only 3 off.

Cant disagree there. Nibbler has been awful.

I’ve been very critical on Harmes lately playing an inside role.

He has been ok this game as well. Getting the pill on the spread and some of his effective long kicks (most important stat in the game imo) have been really nice to watch

 


Came into this thread and am scratching my head at the Tyson whipping going on. Few misfires with disposal, but no more than any of our other players and he’s been one of our better players again today. Some people here clearly watch the game with blinkers on!

Missed the first quarter so can only comment on the second. We were lucky they didn’t put scoreboard pressure on us early in that term, we let them get a lot of look ins at goal but they got no reward for effort. Hopefully that will be what breaks them. 

Once their pressure dropped we were clearly on top and were it not for some players losing their head, and others bombing indiscriminately we could’ve nailed another one or two. 

We have the chance to kill the game next quarter, I feel we are the better team and just need to polish off a couple of final points. Tyson doesn’t seem to have any awareness, but that was a huge goal he kicked. Great to see TMac take a full forwards mark from a high ball, was the one he took on the goal line over or not? Tim Watson seemed pretty confident for a bloke that didn’t have any replays to actually show the line. 

C’mon Dees, keep pushing forward. Job half done. 

 

Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

I'm a Tyson fan LT, but there was a 10 minute patch of footy where the worst he has to offer was in display.  He was caught a few times and made poor decisions with the ball in hand.

His second half of that term was much, much better and when he's doing good things he is clearly a valuable member of our side.  He just doesn't so it consistently enough.

  • 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?
