The odd splattered disposal is a feature of Hunt’s game in general unfortunately, particularly by hand. I place him in a similar category to Frost - plays an exciting style of game and does a lot right, but always a chance to do a few things in a game that make your eyes water.

Surprised at the negativity on Jones’ game. I thought he had a pretty tidy game, especially considering he was on for the entire second half without break. Where and when were these terrible mistakes?

I thought Jones was one of our best. His spearing kick to Tmac was a ripper but it bounced off Tmac’s chest it was that good.

    Agree. Really liking him at HB. His kicking has been excellent and goes some way to balancing the woeful kicking of Frost and Fritter.

    Weiderman- Nearly there game

    Fine line between a good game and bad game, kicks those 2 goals that he one in the first and one in the second he has a good game, missed both badly and it goes the other way.

    Having just recovered from wedding + post wedding "recovery" function (I can't keep up these days), I've just watched the reply -

    Frost does seriously good things when under pressure - it is a bit of a wild ride, but his closing speed and bravery are priceless, I reckon.

    Mostly agree, only ones I'd change personally are...

    Viney - Bullocking but dumb.

    Frost - Contract extension time.

    Brayshaw - Should be dropped.

    Dunkley - Coupla nice moments.

     

    I think lgical football people would drop a few before Gus. Otherwise agree wtrh post.

    Sure, finally decided to lay a tackle once he was put in the middle, but still seems to be struggling to get around to contests. 2 clearances is poor IMO, and his disposal is not any better. Just think he's been 'off' all year and if he's carrying a niggle (which I've heard is the case) he should be sent off to get right for preseason.

     

    The reson he did not have many clearances is because he is not in there as much as last year.  Pretty hard to get a clearance when you are told to be 30 m away

    Jones. You're joking. 

    Dunkley. Some good things under pressure 

    May. Saved the game.

    Petty. Shows potential 

    Frost. Starting 22 in 2020

    Neal bullen. B grade

    Viney. Not a thinking footballer

    Oliver. Leadership in spades

    Frost - B&F top 10.

    Agree with everything bar Dunkley.  Like Matthews said about Watts' first game, I didn't see any component to hang a hat on.

    Lockhart - Courage courage courage.

    We're talking about yesterday's game, and he played plenty of time in the middle.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      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.
