Brayshaw?  

That handpass alone keeps him in the side for weeks

Langdon is a great two way runner and has had a really good season. He’s saved us getting back into defense when our other midfielders can’t be bothered. He deserves recognition. 

Has been a brilliant recruit. As important to our structure as May and Lever. Three players who can’t kick good but play their role magnificently

    I have officially given up on OMac.

    I think Max might have more contested possessions than Gus, Clarry or Viney.

    Midfield really needs to lift now.

    Clarry has 10 contested possies.  They haven't necessarily been good ones, but there it is.

    Gawn has had 9.  Viney and Gus 4 each.

    May has been immense.

    Not just today but pretty much all year.

    A dead set one man fortresses, but also great to see him floating about delivering i50!

    May - superstar!

    Viney went to Steele for the second half of that quarter. Hard tag.

    Good move 

    Goodwin made a move?

    Did they become good friends on the flight over? The way they are kicking to the opposition is so precise.

     

    We ground that quarter our but sometime to need to make it ugly. We have been killed at the clearance but outside of that the ball has just pinged 50 to 50. Time for Trac and co to start bursting from the stoppage and for players to show composure and take our chances. Come on Dees show us whether we are as fit as we think.

    May and Petracca are almost embarrassing their teammates they are that far above any of them

    A real arm wrestle here, both teams are setting up well defensively (credit to Goody for that). This is going to be down to who takes their chances. Petracca’s goals have been huge but if we’re getting more from him as a forward/mid then Brayshaw and Clarry need to step up. Clarry in particular. Gus seemed to be getting more of it that quarter but not damaging enough. 

    Haven't seen Enough of Pickett and Spargo, they need to provide more forward pressure. Hannan has been poor. Oscar, I’ve been a defender of his but I don’t think I can cop him anymore. 

    Interestingly that last centre bounce we clearly got the tap but Clarry and Gus got in each other’s way. Is that bad communication or set up?

    Our season hangs on this last quarter. Have we got the guts?

    Some of the quieter guys need to stand up. It's amazing we've stayed in this with do many passengers!

    Because we haven't allowed them to play their only game, which is run off half back.

    We're not winning enough CP. I fear Hibberd down means we'll run out of steam. His attack off half back has been good.

    Exactly, backline has down the job as always. Need a lot of players to lift though amd put the last few quarters behind them.

    May's kicking is fine, Lever's is improving, so is Langdon's.

    But yes, they (along with Hibberd) are standing out when so many others are struggling.

    19-20 clearance count.

    We have done well in 4th Quarters this year. Foot to the floor Demons

    Great observation. If any team can run out a game this year the dees can. Statistically the best last 1/4 team over past 8 weeks

    So far Brown nothing , bring back Tmac for rest of year enough this n that. Until LJ is back Tmac has the spot.

    Hannan or Fritsch - not both. 
     

    Our mids are really really poor today. Nothing from Viney or Oliver. Saints always showed us up in the middle - I think they have had a psychological edge for a few years.

    i reckon the flood gates will open this quarter we’ve held them at bay for as long as we can endure.

    You can throw Langdon in there too.  He's been terrific.

    • 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?
