    Will they be under instructions to keep MFC in the race given that WCE are certain double chance?

    I was secretly hoping this may be the case.

    In all honesty, that was one of the most biased calls I’ve ever heard in a game of football. Atrocious effort.

    Pretty ordinary game. I flicked across to the Storm game, now that"s how to win a game when all the odds (plus the commentators) are against you. Get whoever motivates the Storm down to the Dees....Urgently!!!

    Honestly, that Umpiring was shameful.  I didn’t give a rats toss about the game, but the umpiring was perhaps the worst and most blatant I have ever seen.  Conspiracy theorists can have a field day.  That made the whole comp looked like a rigged shill game.

    This isn't a good omen for Sunday.

    The comp is becoming a disgrace

    You have to be joking. They will prefer the cats and port in the 8 before us. They will crucify us on Sunday. North might be on for a tough ride on Sunday as well. They don’t have the numbers as well.

    We'll be lucky to come within half of the free kicks West Coast get gifted. It doesn't fit the AFL directive for us to make finals when they know getting Geelong/Sydney/Port in before us makes them more money. They'll be desperate to ensure SA has a team represented, that their precious NSW market has both teams playing finals, and that Geelong's "superstars" get their fairytale finals campaign. The fix is on.

    28 to 13 against Richmond. Tigers were unfazed and just went about their business. Wish our blokes did the same. Pretty hard though in our situation when they give no clear indication of impartiality for a whole game's worth........................

    Goddard is a dead weight on Essendon.  How he can look so indignant at others when he put in such a weak effort himself is beyond me.

    Is it me or has he really dropped of the cliff since about 10 rnds in? He looked terrible tonight... I liked it.

    Wouldnt say completely unfazed though. Interesting Dimma sticking up for his players and never a whimper from Goodwin. That was blatant cheating last night to get the bombers home. You cant tell me they dont try and even up the competition to make it look better.

    • 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?
