Considering he hasn't had a chance to even show what he can do in the seniors for us yet I don't know how we are meant to judge him....all I do know is every week Max is going to get smashed by 2 ruckmen and we have another one who could help him out kicking dew off the grass in the VFL

Actually, he has had a chance in JLT and practice games and has been underwhelming - he's also been injured as I understand and therefore not fit enough to justify inclusion

He gets his chance this week presumably at Casey - start knocking the door down Mr Preuss and genuinely earn your spot rather than being gifted games because we simply want to protect Max - there are others arguably more deserving that could perform that function 

 

I have no idea why we picked up Preuss, who wants to be a back up ruckman ?. The Wagners bros. doesn't excite me one bit.  I can't see us beating the Bombers.

I agree. No offence to the fellas but a team with two Wagners in the starting 22 isn’t going anywhere.

The upside is if the above happens, the media blowtorch will be heavily applied, and that’s when we will see a response and maybe get our season up and running.

...and then we'll be accused of tanking deliberately to get the media to apply the blowtorch to get our season up and running.

Then in 2029, the Herald Sun (should it still exist) will have a front page story about the Demons tanking in 2019, which will get our 2029 season up and running...

Is that recent?  I ask only that Daniher is out there and I thought he wasn't training for a while.  Could be wrong.

If it is recent why would Daniher be doing training drills if he isn't playing tonight.  It would make sense to have the selected forwards train their drills...

Not entirely sure tbh. Ripped it off BF. I’m hoping it’s from this week.

wow, just wow. I reckon they are going at 8% efficiency there.

About the same as our match day efficiency

We must be tanking again.

I love how quickly all the air has gone out of our tyres, from premiership favs to wooden spoon chance: only at Melbourne!

Situation normal. Just like the Daniher years. Even numbered years we were princes; odd numbered years we were paupers. 

Hot and windy conditions.  Should be a cracking night for footy if the wind comes off a bit.

off for a few thirsty ales before the game (preload at normal prices) as the weather suggests, then off to the ‘G

no excuses, Mr Goodwin?  Lets see....

  • 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?
