    Lewis is right. Waste of time this pushing and shoving. Get in the rooms and work out how to dominate the 2nd half. We should be way in front

    Can't understand you guys. Previous Game Day threads have given a ball-by-ball description for those without vision. This is just one big WHINGE fest. I'm going elsewhere.

    The worst part about all this is the total and systemic lack of accountability for umpiring

    my dad was opining that the afl was ruining the game along with the flouro magotieres and I was apathetic but now I see it

    Geez it would be nice if the boys could lower their eyes when we go i50 ffs  

     

     

    Intensity, great.

    Delivery and efficiency inside 50, woeful.

    I keep hearing we play a finals brand of football, but we need to see how we are going to kick goals against good teams.

    Seriously, how can you have a block in a one on one?

     

    that maggot should be sacked

    That was a disgrace, but then followed with allowing them to play on, when everyone stopped ,after calling back 3 of our play ons. 

    Pathetic. 

    One goal taken off us and then onee given to them.

    That absolute clown 15 has influenced this game. The soft “I thought it was a mark” to Wingard, the mind numbing free kick and 50 against Melky. Then the cautious response to the next “advantage” free to Port. I loathe that bald streak of you know what! Dare I say up there with Razor. It is all about him!

    Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

    I hope channel seven release their figures for the number of viewers who turned off at half time due to the boring low-scoring footy.

    regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

    if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

     

    God Ling doesn’t miss a chance of hang it on us. 

    Such a [censored] commentator and actually worse than BT.

    Bloody hell, hard task master. One and a half quiet games for a player on track for AA and you want to give him the punt.

    in all seriousness, tonight is the exact night I want to see some of those big contested marks from him we saw in his first year.

    Pretty drunk watching this game so take this for a grain of salt but Jones looks pretty bad and viney looks like he is really making an effort. 

    What happened with the mellsham goal?

    • 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?
