Ha, ha. Which one? Perhaps all three!

equilibrium - a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced,

                       a state of physical balance,

                       a calm state of mind.

He actually forgot his underwear before the 1999 French Open, and didn't want to take up his coach's offer of wearing his, so he played without any. Because he won he decided to never wear underwear again!

I guess there was none for sale at the tournament ?  frilly knickers, non ?

That would be coaching 101 to have T Mac playing as a defender tonight.

Coaching 101 is also not to start throwing players around because the whole team is under-performing, or to start shuffling players who are down on form.

(Though with May, Lever and O'Mac out, and the next generation not ready, the rule book could be ripped up.)

 

I wish they would turn down the commentators mike.

King of the bleeding obvious- Cameron Ling. "Melbourne must win tonight." Spare me.

Painful isnt it....

Interested to see if we stick to the zone defence guarding space. Never liked it because requires everyone to know exactly where to position themselves and be able to adjust on the go with awareness of what's happening around you. Don't have the confidence that all our players have the smarts or instinct for this...

T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way.

Backline Bros tonight?

With any sense... straight to the pub !!

Any reason why after years of linking arms around each other’s shoulder for the national anthem and Anzac ceremony we decided not to do it this year?

So does that mean we're left with Weids and Bull up front? It won't matter how many i50s we have tonight in that case.

Depends how we use it going forward, and how often we make a contest.  If we can at least break even in a marking contest and get it to ground, you would hope the additions of Garlett and Lockhart would go someway to helping us create some pressure and to keep the ball locked in there, which is what we want.

But if we bomb it to 2 or 3 on 1s, then we're in trouble.  Big trouble.

I saw that and thought instantly 'I wonder which poster will bring that up on Demonland?'.

You didn't disappoint.  Means nothing.  We did it last year and lost, so it makes no difference.

I was thinking Lockhart goes back as the Jetta replacement. We'll know soon enough. I don't have much faith in us doing anything other than bomb it in at the moment.


Any reason that woman interviewing Hardwick was wearing a Dressing Gown? budget cuts...

I'd love to see T Mac down back tonight.  I know he has the odd brain fart moments, but he brings some experience and we know he can match it with the best.  It might help to bring back some confidence in his game as well.

Needs to find some form somewhere why not.  T Smith out of the square.

Low long raking kicks get there quicker and create more chaos.  Quick bail out kick if no early options coming inside is ok but at least go long & low so the opp can't intercept as easy and chaos when it hits the deck...

Good luck Demons! 

Chilling.. just watched the SBS report on Srl Lanka... my advice to Jonesy, Louie and Jack.. just tell the boys to enjoy it... we all love you

  • 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?
