Think most would agree our 1st 22 looks the goods on paper, but on form we are playing like a bottom 4 side.

I'd like Goodwin to change things up a bit, firstly I'd bring Harmes into the forward line maybe even out of the goal square ( remember him kicking 3 in a Quater against the saints a couple years back) he could rotate through the middle with Trac or Clarry when they need a spell. I'd then use Jones or Lockhart in defense.

Like to know what everyone thinks? I feel Harmes was just starting to really flourish as a mid who could kick goals and we moved him back??

The other really puzzling thing is why we are not playing the Weed as a leading full forward I see him turning into a Lloyd type if we can get the best out of him. I'd play him every week ask him to lead out at the ball instead of kicking it on his head in 3 v1s

it seems to me that tomlinson is set to be our #2 ruck, especially with these shorter quarters and gawn's excellent fitness

i am very, very interested to see how the forward line works going forward with that one tall and a host of mid-sizers and small

pickett and bennell is potentially VERY exciting

Preuss?     Does anyone actually rate him, especially as our starting ruckman after Gawn leaves?

  • 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.
