If Preussy kicks a couple, gets 11 touches and 13 hit outs (as 2nd ruck) as he did in his first game last year he will be well on his way to earning his spot. 

I'll measure Preuss's performance not so much by his stats, but by how influential Grundy is, or, preferably, is not. If Grundy's name doesn't appear in the coaches' votes, I'll be satisfied.

 

Don't think Pendlebury plays. Wait and see though.

This deserves another run :)

Hope he does it to Grundy !

Have we seen a hard tag at all this year? I feel like its out of vogue currently with so many teams having an even spread of midfielder. Prime example being ours.

You’re always solid Clint- hope your mail or ‘vibe’ is accurate

Tactics very important for this game. Likely to be a low scoring slog in the damp.

Pies will go in favourites but it will be a toss up. About time we had some luck perhaps.

On another point, pre season I posted that 8 wins would save Goodwin.That was based on a 22 game season.With a 17 game season he's safe with 6 wins so I think we can soon put that issue aside until next year.

Fanciful if you think 8 wins would save him from 22 games.

Long time since I played footy but will never forget the season when I suffered a quad injury. It was painful trying to kick the ball and I ended up missing four matches. When I came back, I felt a niggle as I ran onto the ground after half time and when I got a kick, the same pain was there but worse. Missed the finals and was still having pain in the quad area well into summer.

Advice to Pendlebury: give it a rest for another week. 

Advice to Pendles: run out for this important match, blow up in the first contest, spend the match on the bench, out for 6 weeks.

Didn’t think Pendles would play. He and Sidebottom have to be stopped, as they are the main goal assist players  for the Pies. 

Any chance Goodwin could possibly think about putting Harmes on sidebum. Who knows he might even find some form ffs. 

Preuss to do a Mumford and squash Sidebottom flat the first time he attends a centre bounce

8 wins fmd you are a easy marker Diamond. 
Make finals and he stays otherwise on ya bike. 

Will be three changes with Viney and Lockhart in with Preuss. 


How's everyone else's MFCSS?  Must win, season defining game against Collingwood.  Had a couple of nice wins, media starting to talk us up a little bit again.  Playing a team who has been out of form.  Reeks of a classic MFC stinker coming up.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.  Gee I hope I'm wrong and we have turned a corner.  I love nothing more than beating these guys.

No chance we tag 2 players.

Like the Idea of Preuss, he is fresh, he will blow up but he can bang into an already tired Grundy, even if it is for 10-15mins a quarter, Preuss is a big unit and just needs to be physical against Grundy, then let Tmac run him off his legs.

One thing to note with playing Pruess is how GWS have played Mummy against Grundy the last couple games with good success. Mummy is not really interested in getting the tap out his job it to bash into Grundy and  atke him out of the contest and limit his follow up work and clearance strength

Sidebottom has been in poor form. I doubt he warrants a hard tag. Maynard is their play maker so will need to shut him down.

I reckon lose this game and it’s curtains for season 2020. Sadly injuries have struck at the worst time and of course Pies are welcoming back players.

Hopefully Preuss eats some people. FC PREUSS LIVES ON

Hoping he has worked on his marking though, had some clangers last year.

 

rain forecast, don't think it will be a marking day (luckily for preussy)

Burgo said on the MFC site that there’s a scratch match against Collingwood (both clubs are in the Maroochydore hub) for the reserves players which would provide some insIght into who will play in the main game. 

If there are any track watchers up on the Sunshine Coast, this is your opportunity to be the first with the news.   

Demons won the game by 8 goals. That’s all the info that I have at the moment.

They still will have Treloar, DeGoey, Howe, Sier, Roughead,, Quaynor and Langdon missing. Pendles could still pull out. 

I think back to that last game in 2017, where we had to win to make the finals, against a depleted Pies side and we lost playing a shocker. That has been our mantra over the last 20 years.

I’m with you mate. 

We’re 0/5 in big tests this year.

Would be easily the clubs biggest and meaningful win since 2018.

Given game times are about 20% shorter, he's not actually far off his average. 

Saw a post on a Collingwood site that Stephenson has been dropped!

  • 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?
