    Thanks, I noticed he kissed the armband after his last goal.

    How about a gloat-free moment. 

    Re Max going over the mark, I didn't quite catch it, but I thought he just jumped leaning forward and his feet did not go over the mark even when he landed.   If that is right I'm surprised that the rule prohibits that. It must happen all the time when a player just waves his arms about.

    Nah, return to gloating.

    Tbh id have to look at a replay. It didn't look like he'd transgressed.  I just thought the idiot had kicked too close.

    Nah he was over by a foot.

    Waiting for Joeboy. Befuddled by Tyson's absence?

    Great Win. Huge scores back to back. Percentage is red hot. Momentum on our side. Everyone lined up for a goal or 4.

    Go Dee's!

    Hawks have to win by 6 goals+ to knock us back to 4th.

    I was sitting in line and it did look like it. The the kick wss low trajectory anyway so made it lookcworse.

    Lever was superb with the intercept marking today.

     

    The Max Gawn 50m incident after the first qtr and Viney going in and fighting 10 carlton blokes at once was inspiring.

     

    Petracca needs to play as a forward more. If he was a decent set shot he'd avg 2 goals a game as a medium forward which is close to All Australian form.

     

    Neal-Bullen, Harmes, T. Smith and Hannan all superb. Spargo was chasing Carlton players relentlessly when the game was over, it's something we haven't done when in these situations.

     

    We are basically playing Richmonds manic pressure with 4 talls. Says something about the athleticism and endurance our big boys have.

    Oliver had an operation during the week on his finger - which was fractured apparently. Pretty impressive that he could get up for today’s game and still be as clean as ever!

    We are so well balanced now and have so many options up forward and in the middle that guys like Hogan and Petracca and such don’t have to have match winning performances.

    The additions of Lever down back and the form of TMac and Melksham make us very hard to match up on , and Brayshaw is almost our best mid right now.

    That was the win we have been working toward for a while. We have definitely announced ourselves to the football world. We may finally get a mention from the media, that would be weird!

    I am so looking forward to next week and measuring ourselves against a top 4 side. Viney will be better for having blown out the cobwebs and will hopefully be back to his bollocking best. 

    Lever! Really starting to click now and our defence is starting to look really solid. I just didn't know what to do with myself at the ground, my body wanted to be nervous and stressed but there was nothing to get stressed about, it was the strangest feeling. I want more!

    Go Dees!

    Yep, and quite demonstrative about it.  Clearly meant a great deal to him

    HA HA get Fücked Carscum!

    Well you are going to love how Brisbane are going against the Hawks then. If this keeps up Carlton will find themselves dead set last on the ladder!

    His feet didn’t move - he leant forward.

    What a delight! Such a joy to watch. The dam wall burst last week and now I think we see a side that wants to get the most out of every game. Milkshake was brilliant, T-Mac clinical, ANB has the radar back. Super impressed with Lever, every time he gets a fist on it he removes the danger. Brayshaw playing with more confidence. An amazing team effort, these guys are all playing for each other right now.

    Got a big boy team next week, hopefully we take this momentum into it.

    In all seriousness, watched on TV and haven't seen that kind of massacre on a footy field since the Neeldy days (wrong side) and Daniher days (right side).

    We should wear the royal blue every week. I made a deal with myself, if we win this week I buy one and get it shipped overseas. Looking forward to its arrival.

    And Bailey days! (Roos Swans)

    • 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?
