Well done Frosty. Keep sticking it up the haters & the doubters.  Played on their talls as well as Walters at various times and was terrific.  Doubtless, the haters will only focus on the 2 mistakes instead of the 10 positives.

    Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

    Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

    Noticed that, who does he think he is Jordan Lewis ?

    But that is the value of experience, because Lever is only 70 games approx and some people expect him to be the backline guru

    Frosty was great. Can we please move Frisch forward, his disposal is still a worry down back,

    Agree on both.

    Frost's last quarter arguably won us the game.

    From the top of the ponsford I had a great view of his intercept mark in the last. Made the decision early and backed himself in, then made the next kick. Critical contest as we scored a terrific gogoa l after to tacking it down the ground. 

    I want fritter kicking the ball to out forwards.

    Petty was excellent and May played well. Marty hore was solid again.

    Jones should still be ashamed for that 50 metre penalty. I just watched it a couple of times

    shocking to do that

    The turn-around in form from a handful who have been down was good.  Lockhart and May were very good.  The desperation was good.  Flying the flag for team-mates was very good.  Hope next week is good!

    Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

    Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

    It’s just pathetic that it’s your first and only response to a win. You deserved the whack you got for it.

    Yeah, we were fortunate they were two down. Thanks Captain Obvious. Doesn’t mean we absolutely would’ve lost without it. So what you said isn’t even true.

    Fritsch has gotta stay wing/forward, he had some ripper kicks inside 50 today (whilst also acknowledging some average ones).

    Just plain dumb by a captain who should know better. Walters was always going to go down like he had been shot.

    Yep, we have lost plenty due to injury during a game. I have no problem enjoying this result.

    Wouldn't have won in Freo weren't two players down. 

    Even when we win, we can't win.

    One of our biggest weaknesses is on field leadership and organization. We got Lever and May not only for their footballing ability, but because they’re leaders and generals. Great to see May organizing troops and playing well again today. He’ll be a huge asset for the backline for the next few years. Love him!

    Petracca had a great game today. Really got involved and threw his weight around. Great to see him switched on for longer periods and staying involved. Hopefully this is the start of his return to damaging form.

    It's the story of the year.

    Leading the inside 50's and not kicking enough score to win.

    Maybe this is the resurgence with Viney, TMac and Weed doing well

    Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

    12 point turnaround 

    Not what a captain should do. 

    Do it after the goal is scored at least!!

    Feels good to have a win.

    Goes to show that when players such as Viney and McDonald play to their potential we look a much better side.

    Forward line looked much better, with a bit more space and good movement.

    Dumb and all as it was...

    It was better than the first game against Port where we stood by and watched Max cop it from them without a whimper.

    At least we had some passion in the game and Jones was supporting a teammate.

    If I had my choice I would take this.

    • 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?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
