Draw just announced 

Looks Like we play the Crows and then Hawks

Good way to start a new season with some tough Games.

 

 

We play the Crows at Casey Fields on the 22nd of Feb. (4:40pm)

We then play the Hawks in Launceston on the 6th of March. (7:40pm)

Who we play doesn't bother me, I'd just like to see us get through these games without an injuries and some semblance of form.

Crows 2020 does not equal tough game surely.

 

Frosty's mob?  That's another matter entirely.

At least it’s not like last year where we had stuff all time between both games 

Yeah good point.

last year they bunched all the JLT games into just 2 weeks and they stupidly gave us a 6 day break coming off a 40 degree day in Shepparton.

Nice to have a 2 week break between games.

We should be able to win both these games.

That Casey game on Feb 22 could easily be another 40 degree job..

We should be able to go 25-0 next year.

October fever Wiseblood?

Seriously Crows and Hawks are now average middle of the comp teams.

Certainly could be.

Or it could be 19 degrees per 2017 vs Carlton at Casey.

You just never know with Melb’s  weather. About as predictable year to year as it’s footy side.

I cant see us losing a game next year.

 

 

 

 

 

Too early?

A trip to Spec Savers might be in order.

Amen to that Wise!

Who drew the game at Whyalla?

Well, we're off to a perfect start.   Undefeated and equal top of the ladder in 2020 so far.

So, one game in the [censored] end of nowhere and the other a Friday night blockbuster in Launceston. Could've been worse I guess.

Port have to go to Whyalla and Moreton Bay. We can’t complain!

Give it time - I'm sure a few posters will find something to complain about.

How pointless is North Melbourne vs Bulldogs at docklands? Surely playing that at Arden street or Whitten Oval makes more sense.

  • 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?
