Vanders may not have great stats, but he hit hard, stopped a lot of Crows forward movements and when he kicked he generally hit a target. I thought he was good.

    Weid became more effective as the game wore on. He was good in the final qtr. The important point is that he rucked all day, and he negated their advantage. Credit where credit is due. Jackson showed that he can give a chop out. In the first half his ruck work was promising.

    Chest mark in the last 2 minutes? Yes. He played in front, which was good to see.

    Jones and Jetta had minor niggles in the second half, but you would assume they would be fine for the game against the Hawks in Tassie.

    Other than that I think we came out unscathed.

    Disappointing second quarter,  in the first part we did not seem fully interested,  shades of 2019 I thought,   But once we got going and Kossie had a bit of it,  the rest of the game just got better n betterer.

    I had thought, kiss winning in the west on the [donkey],   but maybe not,   If we are within a couple of goals at three quarter   we should run over anyone in the first few games. Then lets see how the rest d the season pans out.

     

    Go Dees 2020 !!

    Jones had a lower leg injury (ankle, foot?). Jetta was in some trouble with apparent jarring in the last but ran it off.

    Not fussed with the result but some very good signs with Trac, Lever, TMac, Oliver being Oliver, Jones up forward, Pickett (small glimpses), Jackson (didn’t do much but his spring in the ruck was very exciting) and lastly the fitness to really run out the game.

    Hard to work out whether Weed played well or not:

    - fair few on here saying was hopeless

    - he had c.20 possessions

    - AFL listed him in our best

     ?‍♂️

    Weid played a great game. Hes a 196cm key forward who had to ruck the whole game against a 202cm genuine ruckman. Once Gawn and Pruess come back in Weid give us another option up forward alongside Brown and McDonald.

    I thought he played well - he still needs to take the bull by the horns and clunk some marks for us, but when you consider the fact that he rucked most of the day, I think he had a positive influence on the game.

    I don't bet personally, but Petracca is at $81 for the Brownlow.

    Just saying.

    i thought he was good. he's under sized for a ruck but he battled manfully all day. dropped a couple of marks but really offered something at ground level around the stoppages I thought.

    Really pleasing to see them play the game out. We were kicking into a fairly stiff breeze in that final quarter.

    Weid was solid playing out of position.  If he had clunked 3 or 4 of those marks when he had first hands on the ball, his game would have gone from 'solid' to very good.

    A lot to like in that game, I thought we were better as the day went on.  A lot to do with fitness but we became less fumbly too.  Petracca would have received the 3,2 and 1 votes he was that good.

    Weid got his hands on plenty but just couldn't stick them, if he had have held onto 3 or 4 of those marks he would have had a good game.

    Add Gawn to that lineup and we win by a lot more, they had a big advantage in the ruck.

    T McDonald will be better for the run, the longer the game went, the better he became.

    O McDonald basically not mentioned on here, which is about the highest praise the poor bloke gets.

    I wince every time AVB tackles someone, it looks like it really hurts.

    Can't wait for the real stuff to start.

    The best part is he got through the game and made some aggressive tackles. 
     

    That will do me for now.

    I swear a lot of people are just sheep aren't they, one person says weed played terrible, then another person just repeat what the other bloke says, without actualy looking at his game, 20 hitout 19 pos, 3 clearances 2 Mark 3 tackles, by a non ruckman agnist one of the top 5 ruckman in 2019, he's actually had a elite game by ruckman great game.

    Too late...

    Failed to make distance from his shot at goal 20m out in pocket...

    The one that he eased across the face and was marked inside the opposite point post?

    Yeah right. You see what you want to see. Confirmation bias 101.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
