Solid win vs Freo.  Another must win next Saturday, and we are back on the MCG vs the Doggies.

The conditioning staff will have their most important week of the season, as recovery is paramount after playing in tropical conditions.

    makes sense except one plays back the other forward.

    Could the versatile Pederson get a game down back? ... Frankly I' think Bernie will return

    I didnt see him either. Hannan did well given the conditions.

    If Smith was surplus to our defensive needs this week then no point playing him next week, so I expect him to be dropped. Not sure who gets his spot, but I think a running player over a tall.

    18 players hit the scoreboard tonight. These four didn’t.

    Out: OMac, Jetta, J Smith. Frost

    I'm a Nibbler fan, but he has to go for mine.  In Bernie.

    Would love to drop Lewis and ANB but don’t see an obvious replacement.

    Melksham has to be looked at. Last 4 weeks dreadful.

    I thought Smith, Spargo and ANB were our least effective tonight. Lewis also did some

    Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. 

    Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though.

    Since Queens Birthday our glaring weaknesses have been leg speed and defensive pressure.

    Frost ,Garlett and Smith are pretty quick.

    I thought Smith had a fair first half.

    VDB got 16 tackles in the reserves.

    Spargo goes alright but he has limitations.

    Lewis had another mistake riddled game.

    If Vince and Lewis aren't getting pushed out we are not moving forward.

    I assumed Smith in the forward line was in response to the way Fremantle occupied our forward line, rather than our idea per se. It wasn’t going to be OMac, Frost, Hibberd or Jetta, so he’s th logical next choice. I can’t think of any other reason for it because he definitely did not look a natural forward.

    ANB lucky to keep his spot, hes in his 2nd bad patch of form for the season after his slow start.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
