Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

    Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

    Spargo also playing a good game.

    But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

    Melksham our Captain? Really. Time to show us why.

    If people can't see how bad Tmac is then you need to get your eyes checked

    He is crazy slow and has very little confidence

    Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

    Well done Weids, but gee he has missed some sitters. Seriously Goody must be so frustrated with miss after miss. 

     

     Im loving Spargo back in.

    Trac too strong as is Weid.

    Would like Milkshake and Fritta  to get involved more and the umps less.

    Was a great tackle before Pickett's goal, and has found space often as a receiver

    Big coming from me, I'm  a hater

    Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

    We're 2 years too late.

    can still get someone for him

    Tmac would be a good player 10 years ago 

    Game is way too quick for him now 

    Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

    I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

    North do not deserve to be in this game.

    Jones really lifted that quarter.

    Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

    Rivers also showing plenty.

    Good signs.  Great work by the weed, just him to get a good kicking routine for all angles (there were both to the left). 

     

    Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks


    That last goal they got was very annoying.

    Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

    All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

    Honeslty Langdons kicking is dead average 

    The action is ugly

    Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

    That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

     

    Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

    Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

    enjoying his game.

    • 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?
