We're down two players, this could be a game changer. Harris scores from a set shot.

    Hore shanks a dolly on goal, we've missed some great chances.

    We've had two balls going in on goal only for ridiculous bounces to deny us.

    Cunningham seems to have lost all ability. Shaping as another St.Kilda game as another chance wasted on the siren.

    Cunningham has been woeful. So many perfect one on one chances.

    And Newman should have given the ball off or kept running. Two goal turnaround

    Bloody hell - the second I tune in: another knee injury, Bloos kick 2 goals to hit the front and we miss a soda.

    Gee some easy misses that quarter, Newman, Cunningham and Hore and O’Dea’s bounced 180 degrees...it will be a miracle if we get up.

  • Quote

    Carlton were very good that quarter and probably could have had more chances turned into goals, but equally we had some great chance that we absolutely shanked. Frustrating, I can see us losing this by under a kick and looking back on those chances feeling we should have won.

    One quarter to go, down two players could be tough.

    This is that game we always have at least once a year. More of it, more scoring shots, and we get done.

    Blues get the all important first goal.

    Smashed on the outside, wasteful once inside 50. O'Dea is a liability once they get it on the outside.

    Game over i'd say.

    Disappointing result, we were so clearly the better team at half time. Really should've been in front by 3 more goals but failed to make use of our dominance, our players were exhausted by the end being down two rotations and in the end when we had our chances we butchered them. 

    Puts us back to the pack and outside the finals spot, lots of work to be done.

    That may be season over. Carlton one game ahead of us now, and we have Freo and Suns to come. They have Freo and WC.

    Looks like we'll be dudded by the conference system again

    Again our old nemesis our forward line conversion and skill 

    For the umpteenth time has enough chances but lack skill in finishing 

    Please Melb recruit footballers not other players from other codes that MAY be good sports but don't have the footballers instincts.

    Desperately need a skilled forward who gets 6 touches and 3 goals 

    Cunningham lucky to be on team as no other big forward Give her a run around Th r ground yo get into the game please 

    Mivk Stinnear must surely be coaching fir his job in the last 2 games as he has had 4 years of non success to make finals 

    Injuries have not hrlped ageing today but same old story of lost chances.

    Mickey at least 3 times per year every year fir 4 years in a row!! We are too dependent upon forwards marking as skill to kick goals on run us almost impossible for us !

    Really looked slow and unfit. The injury toll is really hurting us.

    Maybe that had something to do with 2  injured players off the ground in the last half  And about 4 ACL injuries this season !

  • Quote

    A game of two halves (as they all are, but you know what I mean).  We ran out of players, and (consequently) legs in the second half. Four, and possibly five ACLs  in a season is just [censored] luck, no matter how you spell it !

    Can't see how the conference system has done us. Injuries and lack of finishing would be more to the point.. We still had our chances to kick goals and stay in front but lack of composure and more likely skills let us down plus a certain tallish lady in forward line is having a shocker.

    Cunningham wasn't the only one to have a shocker O'Dea was terrible too.

    • 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?
