Today’s games have highlighted to me how optimistic we should be about our list and our future. We have talent on every line, it’s now a mental game.

The Doggies have regressed badly in the space of the last 20 months. It’s one of the worst falls from grace we’ve seen in years.

Bevo is rebuilding again, after their season from hell.

At least they got that flag,  breaking the drought.  but it came at a cost.

and this is the danger period.

Thinking we are better then we really are.

 

"getting ahead"  is not all its cracked out to be.

Its often a negative thing.

My opinion doesn’t influence the players. I’m just stating we have the talent on each line to be successful, especially when you compare the opposition. At this time and stage it’s mental.

Things ain't as sweet as they want us to believe down at Catland. Word is Ablett only returned because he was promised a cool million in a certain will if he returned...

Well I wouldn't have thought God had so much loose change and whats another mill to him in betrayal

Surely the market gardener paid out big time with the former coach !

Said he was going chainsawring with his new found wealth !

Some people are never satisfied !

????????????, west coast demon GF no  doubt

Wow, Essendon have done us a favor the last two weeks beating two of our competitors.   Cant believe they beat Geelong and GWS on the road.

The GWS experiment is looking like a failure, same with Gold Coast.  The Demetriou legacy.  Blew his chance to bring in a Tasmania team and instead created two fake plastic franchises with no substance.

Giants a marketing nightmare for AFL.

Quite obviously GW$$$$ and Carlton need to share the first ten picks this draft.

GWS in particular are heartless and soulless as a football club.  You would have to think that effects the psyche of their players.  I mean, when a club that was winning and winning well can not attract more people to it's home games than the MFC in the dark days, as a GWS player you would have to think why bother, no one except Gill and his overpaid mates cares.  How much longer are the AFL and the 17 other genuine teams going to go on supporting this sporting pariah that's draining the funds and spirit of the competition.

Carlton also did us a favour by denying Geelong a huge percentage boost.  Vs Carlton, ours went up by 14% last week but Geelong's went up by just 3% last night. 

Could be very important for the final ladder positions.

Have you factored in how many people aren’t watching on TV???

The very choice of the name "Giants" gave away that this was an imitation club designed by committee with no fans or grass roots involvement allowed in its creation.

But the AFL will keep pumping money into it until it wins a flag, or the AFL goes bankrupt and sells its assets to the A-League and the NRL, or a giant comet strikes the Earth.

Can you explain again who "we" are as it seems somewhat variable. Could be Richmond, could be AFL House marketing department. There may even be some small chance it refers to the MFC.

Not having much luck in favoured MFC outcomes this weekend...

Go Weagles on the assumption we can give them top spot and aim for 2 or 3 ourselves by season's end !!

Not sure who to support in the Freo v North battle... tending towards Freo

Thats right. If we lost to the Tigers in a Grand Final, you would go and celebrate with them in your Tiger undies.

Best game i have seen him play in Melbourne by far

What I took from todays geme:
- Respect for Lever, he could be the dominant figure in the backline in years to come;

- Even workload, no one stared, everyone played their part

- Very cleaver recruiting, especially the rookie and late draft

- Dont want to dream too early but could Melbourne be on the cusp of something special?

-Nev Jetta is so underrated!

- Forward line so accurate I wonder how much Goodwin puts on importance of kicking straight. All players as accurate as Brad Green back in the day!

 

Love it!

  • 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?
