Wiseblood involved in everything here!

I'm currently keeping one eye on a three month old in a bouncer, one eye on the game and one eye on here.  I've got three eyes somehow.

    Psychic line. Some days are tricky. Some days are great. So what kind of day is today going to be? It falls into a completely different  category. It holds the potential to be a day that you won't forget. Take advantage of the cosmic potential for transformation

    In the MCC tonight and still manage to have a row of Richmond nuffies behind me..

    We should take over the AFL enclosure on the Southern Stand,  when redeveloped. Own that area...  and start to takeover the Ponsford, as well.

    Hahah nice! Wife’s out, just got my 7month old to bed before the game, 3yo into bed after our second goal and 5yo currently wriggling like a worm with tiredness and watching the game with me.

    How good was that?  Took the right options, worked hard to get forward and lowered our eyes.  Great work.

    Great lead by Nibbler to get Melk to kick there.

    The uncontested turnovers are absolute killers.  We must have had a handful already.  Just bombing it from defence and it just comes straight back in.

    Loved that first term.  More pressure, better use going forward and I feel like we tightened up defensively.  The test will be to keep it up for three more quarters, but the early signs are good.

    One thing we need to fix is the bomb out of defence.  You can't always be precise, but we can't allow them uncontested marks with repeat entries.  They'll score from them eventually.

    Can't complain, they're having a dip. A lot more running back to help out as well.

    That fake handpass by Melksham before kicking to Hunt is what I want to see more of.

    It was only slight but it opened up the ground in front of him.

    Their inside 50 pressure is unreal. Means they have time to setup behind the ball and cut us off. When we get time, and use it well, we are picking through them.

    Not sure we can keep it up, but doing ok

    At least we've shown we CAN play, even if it's only for a quarter. Something there to build on going forward.

    Under a lot of pressure.

    The intent is there. Right now I’ll take that.

    Tom Mac showing us why he's so much more effective up forward where, with the sticks in front of him, he doesn't have to worry about his disposal.

    Credit to Goodwin for trying some kooky [censored] [censored]. I am here for it! 

    Would love anyone in this team to hit a target this year.

    • 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?
