How typical Melbournian. 

4 goals against the gale .... mmmm, that was good, must be satisfied now ...... oops ... 1 with it. 

Harmes refuses to kick inside 50.  Probably no one obvious  on offer but someone needa to get this out of his game.

A good low chaos worm burning mongrel punt quickly inside 50 can do wonders sometimes!  It doesn't always need to be a lace out pass (cough*).

Lever has had an absolute mare.


Listening to radio while I work . Weird broadcast. Dopey main commentator  (thinks definitive is a fancy way of saying definite), no atmosphere/crowd, Terry Wallace with his underpants on too tight.

Lousy ending to a lousy season 

 

Is Shaw safe if Norf lose today?

Thw hole team needs to have a long hard look at that Gawn kick for goal. He's clearly worked hard on his technique, that was perfect.

If the big man can, anyone can. Get it done!

    Hawks and Pies exchange goals and it's still an 18 point lead to Collingwood in the VFL.

    26 mins into third quarter

    PS 3/4 time Pies by 19

    If Collingwood win Casey are in the finals

    Has Salem been traded to Norf or something?

    Geez I can’t stand the commentators these days, so smug, negative and judgmental.


    Big Max.

     

    Yay JKH has an impact on the game!

    Hibbo = trade bait

    Salem - WTF?? Please at least try!

    Didn't look great, but if you see a replay Harmes just stands there and watches and I reckon Salem was holding position for Harmes to come in and spoil. Just symptomatic of us and how we haven't been able to develop the instinct and trust in each other.

    Your insulting my 6yo daughter there, she would smash him in any contest

    Fair point.

    A wet paper bag may be a better description. Absolutely useless.

    Agree with this, the tactic is that one guards the front and one spoils over the top.

    • 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.
