    Garlett can not be retained after that.... 0 tackles for a speedy small forward, I mean come on man, get serious and respect the jumper.

    Spargo isn’t ready. I said a few weeks ago he wasn’t strong enough to stick tackles. Today it was his lack of composure and inability to kick 40m. Just not ready.

    It won’t matter who comes in.. we cannot beat sides who keep the ball away from us. West Coast are number 1 for it. We will not give a yelp in the last 2 games.

    Am I the only one that thought JKH was pretty good today?  Retains his spot easily I would have thought. 

    We should have rested Hogan against Gold Coast. I hope we don’t end up regretting it...

    You can put in your whipping boys, or go for the ones who actually ARE likely outs.

    Garlett, Hunt are definites. Hunt was atrocious, and looked pretty sore. Garlett was back to his absolute worst.

    Melksham and Hibberd the obvious ins. Gee we missed Melksham.

    Then we need to trade Hogan. Four set shots at getable distance and angles two go through and game won. None go through we loss. He is never going to deliver on his potential. Just hadn’t got the right stuff!

    Yup. With a more settled 22 and in a better overall game I think he'd make way, but man there were some disgracefully poor demons today. Garlett and Hunt head of that class. Pedo ANB in the gun. But JKH won't be dropped.

    Hunt was really poor and is injured, Spargo fired blanks and Jeffy was at his very worst. I don't think we can drop both Jeffy AND Spargo but they both deserve it. 

    Are either of Melksham or Hibberd ready to go, injury wise?

    not ready or not good enough? wtf is with our decision to recruit 172cm spuds with no tank

    I believe hogan has no confidence, should be dropped or rested, Garlett lets us down time and again, jkh is pushed off the ball to easily. Hunt was not a patch on last year, someone has told him not to run any more.

    In : melky, hibbo and hannan, not sure on hunt. Pedo to ffwd

    • 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.
