Sounds very NFL.

There is an obvious correlation but if the NFL never had any set plays or we didn't know about it the playbook for our sport would be needed anyway

Stands to reason mentality. 

Ice hockey has a lot of set plays as well ... same as soccer,  League & Union.

I’m not keen on the team selections. But shall reserve my judgements until post game. 
 

Confidence is not high here.

Nice day for footy, I take it there’s a decent crowd gathering at the ‘G? 

The seagulls are not social distancing. Selfish bastards. 

And if we dominate from the stoppages you'd like to think that just by the pure numbers involved,  we'd have enough clean and crisp clearances to turn that into an advantage

In 2018 we did that to a certain degree but in 2019 our clearances were often without any purpose whilst being delivered to a dysfuntional forward line

So where does the braintrust exist ...amongst the personnel involved or the 2 blokes (Plapp & Matthews) charged with organising our midfield and stoppages work? 


A few questions will be answered today. Are we still the same side that lost  last round 2017 or can we emulate 2018? Does Goodwin have a plan B ?

Have we put someone else on the front now or just moved Zurich?

Hmm... Somebody mentioned Collingwood had their foj sponsor in that spot too...

Reckon the AFL have allowed that spot on the jumper for more sponsorship revenue

What's the reasoning there?

Geelong's got Ford in that same sport.

Zurich still on the front for us.

Will certainly be watching how we deliver the ball into our forward 50. We have gone with a smallish forward setup so we better not be bombing long to the square! 

[censored] I miss the 'G.

Huge experience advantage for Geelong  and we have a very young side.

Will make it even more sweet when we beat them.

Looks like Jayden Hunts long sleeve top does not have the sponsor on the back.

Must have been done pretty quickly

Really???

mmmm, sense of humour switch on zero today.

I can understand, we’re just visiting, others own the site and can get sued but geez that was gold.

Goodwin in the interview on Channel 7 just now said we need to win the stoppages, get it in our forward half and keep it there.

Our 2018 mindset remains.

Seems like we’ve been the younger side in pretty much every games since 2008...

God damn, please tell me that isn’t the norm? Going to have tops like the bloody NRL where you can’t see the top due to all the stupid sponsors plastered all over it.

The blue rectangle over the red is putrid.

  • 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.
