Can't believe we're actually here, feels like forever. This match is huge, if ever I'd like to see us come out and smash a team hard early it's tomorrow. I wonder if there'll be any info about how players went in the scratch match.

We have this one, despite the two absentees - and that has not really panned out as a concrete omission, yet. There is suddenly some selected pace, foot skills, mobility reeking of intent ... go boys! Hope TMac gets some time at CHB, once again.

 

Cant believe those to boys could make a mistake like that so close to an afl game.Still think we will win comfortably,ANB is a good competator but would love to have seen the excitement Pickett would bring

    It's frustrating we're going to have to wait to see Kozzi and Bennell in the same team. Just so silly.

    Oh yes, game day. It's been so long. Need a win, must win, no excuses.

     

    Problem is that could have been copied and pasted from the Carlton forum ?

    Game day :D

    Round 1 was bitterly disappointing for mine, not so much in terms of the result but by just how similar our performance was to what we regularly produced last year. 

    Excited for many reasons, but optimistic in seeing some better connection going inside 50.

    Go Dees! And go Harley!

    Gastro’s pretty contagious, isn’t it?

    If we all care to recall... Tom has 'unfinished business' with this mob. Would love to see him run amok at CHF. Pleased to see the inclusion of Jayden Hunt, courageous with a never say die attitude to boot.

    Hmm not at all confident to be honest... Unfortunately think the Blues will roll us & set the scene for another poor year for us ☹️

    I hope Harley gets through, I hope Maxy stands up and kicks a goal if required and I hope there are no injuries and we win.

    Me to looking forward to the litany of excuses on here though

    should be veeeerrryyyy nteresting

    Really upset that ANB is back

    My young nephew thinks he is a Jonah!

    Looks like we are back to the good old days of no small forward with Kozzie out and ANB as his replacement.

    Should have bought Bedford in.

    Anyway if we cant win this game with the colossal advantage Gawn has in the ruck, we are doomed and North supporters can start thinking about pick 1.

    Good luck Harley!


    I think we are doing the right thing with this side but it will take time. Looking to the future with a couple more younsters is the way to go. However they don't have a lot of experience together and I think this will show. I can see us getting done but we are the type of side that can bounce around with a few good results this year and some nasty ones. Normally I would be pulling my hair out over the result but there is some rebuilding to do and we do have some good youngsters who should get games. Lose this but beat Essenscum the following week.

     

    Just waiting at Scumbury station for the train to Spencer Street.

    Aiming for my usual counter lunch and gutful of pots before heading over to Docklands

    Funny …… I don't see any other supporters around.   Well as they say …… the early bird ….

    • 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?
