Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning 

In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice.  Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility

    If you were playing a drinking game around how many times they mention De Goey and his 'form', you would already be legless.

    I am so sick of these moron commentators saying Buckley turned Howe into a defender...

    Didn't you hear, he turned Dunn into a defender as well.

    But we aren't going to win everything.... unfortunately we're not that good.

    Dogs lose and they have to win 9 out of 13 to make the 8 .. very hard

    Basically you can take 8 teams out of the equation almost this weekend on that theory.

    And then there were 10 !!!

    Definitely better for us if the Dogs win. Pies are a legitimate contender for a spot in the 8, so we want them to lose. Dogs aren’t contenders and have horrible percentage, so even if they win they’ll be 30-40% behind the good teams.

    1. Umpires loving the doggies.

    2. Commentary terrible.

    3. McLean ducks and throws

    4. Can't believe Mayne gets a game.

    Pretty much the exact game I had imagined

    Ed Richards for the Dogs looks a player. I was a fan before he was drafted due to his pace, but he’s showing goood footy smarts and toughness too down back. Looks a real likely type.

    Pies look to be taking control of this one now. They’re clogging the corridor better and Doggies are relying on mistakes to get their shots here.

    You could have told me before I put him in my SuperCoach team.

    Neither of these teams look great.

    The doggies are a shadow of the team that won the flag two years ago.  They look unfit.

    Pies look the better side but surely we have them covered.

    FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter.  How did they ever win a flag.

    PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.

  • Quote

    With this win and a bloopy for Collingwood next week against Freo they’ll be 7-4 by QBH. Pretty nervy already bout that one.

    The dogs are just nothing on the team that won it in 2016. And honestly they wearn’t elite back then either, they had a great month.

    Absolutely no flow or run to the Dogs game – they’re merely a shadow of their former selves. Look forward to meeting them in the next few weeks.

    The only positive is if we win Sunday and both win next week its sets up a massive game on QB.

    Pies in that third quarter were rebounding so easily out of Dogs fifty. Shows the importance of forward defensive pressure.

    Pendlebury, Sidebottom and to a lesser extent Treloar and DeGoey are their main movers.

    Neither team has good forward structure.

    If we bring our game we should have these two teams comfortably.

    Dogs have kicked 3 goals since quarter time.  They're poo.

    They kicked 5 with umpires gifts in the first.

    A bunch of soft frees and a couple of 50s in front of goal.

    At least they earnt the three since quarter time.

    Have you seen a more gutless effort? Scared to attack when you’re 15 points down against a mediocre Collingwood. 

    Weak as.

    • 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.
