    Easy tiger. Lets wait for a season or two before assessing his worthiness to wear the jumper of the great ronald dale.

    nah... this is a popular vote award... will be won by a player who plays for the big clubs

    Bit of a joke actually having such an award ... worse than the Gold Logie

    The AFL isn't putting it to public vote anymore.  Ditto GOTY.

    Nonetheless, imagine what it does for Fritsch's confidence...not bad to be nominated twice in your first 6 AFL games - suspect there will be many more to come.

    Will say it again, hes already a better player than Watts.

    And yes I will compare them as it was a direct swap and we will win it by the length of the Nullarbor

    I feel like we say that about most who wear that jumper.

    Don't mean to be picky but he's only played 5

    First second he spends in defensive 50, mark of the week. Shows how easy Howe has it.

    Slight but understandable overstatement. It's not yet the mark of the week, just a nomination. That's still a great achievement, though. As a minimum it means it was considered to be better than every other mark taken in this round except possibly two.

    For what it's worth, I expect Jack Darling's mark to win. A true contested mark against three defenders.

    I honestly cannot remember even one who wore the number with distinction since the great RDB - Fritsch to me looks the best so far.

    Many have been great disappointments (to say the least): Ray Groom was probably the best of a bad lot in my memory.

    Pretty sure they’ve changed the voting system this year after the Howe upset? 

    This kid has courage in the air and strong hands, silky skills also, great pickup from the club.

    • 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.
