It is starting to look like our real problem is that we still struggle to compete against the top teams, same as last year. Just unfortunate we started the season against three of the major rivals for top 4?

Having said that, I'd still prefer Essendon to fall in a hideous heap.

    Port playing with the audacity we were late last year.  Eagle look way off, not sure if its a just an off night, the rain or Port pressure.  But the most entertaining game to watch this round so far.

    The rain is West Cokes Kryptonite.

    No team can go into any game now,  after dreaming of they're own bathwater,  early in the week.

    Bathwater is toxic to winning for any team,  these days.

    Port are such a Jekyll and Hyde team. Couldn't beat a Richmond side without the majority of their A-graders last week at home, then back that up on a short break by being the first side to beat West Coast with Darling and Kennedy in the side in nearly two years.

    The wet didn't help West Coast but Port showed that when you bring A-grade pressure in your front half, even the most composed sides will struggle to get the ball past the halfway mark. What Port did is exactly what we're trying to do, and what we did well at our best in 2018.

    Port were “on” from the first bounce and did not let go. 

    It was a very impressive performance, and one i suggest Goodwin look at closely

    Betting is almost impossible at the moment. I understand rounds 1-3 you shouldn’t bet but the trend continues.

    Hogan 22 disposals, 14 marks and 3 goals  

    Beat me to it.  He and Taberner had big games.  Walters had five score involvements in the last Quarter too.

    Whenever I watch a gws game it has the feel of a preseason game due to the grounds they at in. Canberra and Sydney 

    though also when we play in the NT

    ah... perhaps we could redesign ourselves as an expansion team and get the draft picks..

    wait we have already tried that

    Watching Richmond v Swans.

    Swans are so bad. It's like watching the Dees in different jumpers.

    Perhaps we could merge, the Melbourne Swans ?    Or perhaps we could be the Sydney Demons, or better yet maybe alternate.  good-team,  bad-team...  weak in, weak out... of town.

    Then we could have buddy,  and Nate could play with brother, and Vanders could be closer to home.

    Simple one week we wear dark blue on our jumper,  the other week we wear white.   We already wear white for away games now.

    simples.

    Carlton versus  Footscray, Game umpired to Carlton to win. Blatant free kicks paid to Carlton to win. Never seen anything like it. Not even half time yet. Sad that the AFL have appointed people who are manipulating umpires and our game to achieve desired results.

    Half way thru the 3rd and Carlton haf a 5 goal lead and heading for their first win.

    If it ends like this they will be 14th on the ladder. ?

    Such an even season, and we have completely blown it.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
