Ummmmmmmmm

I think that game was very well coached...

E.g. Jones and Wagner sat out most of the last qrt

A Wagner's true home is the bench. Bench Wagner.

    Some moron commentator ( don’t know his name, don’t care) on ABC radio is talking about the heat and the humidity - currently 17C and 15% humidity.

    Must have his head somewhere warm and dark. 

    Just ignorance . Night time in the alice is great footy playing weather this time of year.  It will help us acclimatise for the warmer weather at finals time too.

    Great win. Well coached by Goodwin setting the game up to be played on our terms. 
    Maybe the “coach killer cult” will go into their shells for a week or two...

    Kudos to Josh Wagner who looked impressive on return.

    Had a couple of early fumbles but was a solid contributor all night.

    Josh Wagner looked a complete different player today.

    No offence to Harmes but Wagner played that half back position better then Harmes ever has this year.

    Steven May, i am sorry for questioning the trade. You are simply magnificent.

    Steven May has to be in AA contention!

    Lock in. Throw away the key. He has shut down every player he has played this year.

    I haven't read everything so apologies if already said, but I reckon that brain fart at the end of the 2nd, probably gave us the kick up the bum needed to control the game when required in the last

    Don't want to hear another word about the trade for May, i think his performances over the season and especially tonight have justified the pick 6.

    A trade special.

    I’ll buy him beers at the pub!*
     

    *beers = 2 beers Steven, and they’ll be zero alcohol too muscles!

    There was a subtle shift in the external rhetoric heading into the game as to aiming for finals and such. 

    There was a huge shift in the coaches box. Training wheels are off. Goodwin devised a plan to counter the Saints.

    Kudos to the Coaching staff we actually stop a run and gun team play on their terms.

    But what the phark were we doing in the 2nd quarter.

    These run on goals has to stop, 6 in a row last week and 4 in a row tonight, you can't allow this [censored] to happen week in week out.

    We'll in Riv tonight, great bit of business that fella.

    So last week Demonland was happy to sink the boots into Goody and co for the loss against the doggies, so by the same token there needs to be big props given to him for the way we suffocated the Saints ball use. You could see at the end they tried to create to the overlap using Hill but our defence still held firm. I would go so far to say this was one of his best coaching performances, certainly on a defensive front. 

    For the players, May was clear BOG. Brad Johnson said for fox footy then that he doesn’t have that game then we do t win and that is spot on. 

    Langdon has been the pick up of the year for us, he was very prolific and mostly quite good. 

    Petracca’s midfield numbers were low but jeez his goals were huge, if it were at a ground with the goal line camera would his goal stand? Not sure. 

    Defensively we did well, but I think by the numbers we might look at this as a game we got away with a bit. We got our early lead and kept the game tight after that. I really thought that last minute of the second quarter was going to bite us. 

    But this is a massive win. Against a team that we traditionally seem to lose to, a team higher on the ladder, and an 8 point game.

    I agree. Wagner stays and we roll Harmes into the forward line / midfield. Give Kozzy a spell. He has been quite poor lately. 

    Rivers stays. Fritsch in for Hannan. AVB out  but for who? Tmac for Brown.

    Tough game to  watch in the last quarter however the Dees  did it for all of us supporters.

    May and Petracca  were the two best players on the ground and couldn't split them. 

    I want to give some credit to Josh Wagner he was consistent all night and he can hold his head high. Well done Josh.

    I agree Wagner was very good, had composure and mostly hit targets

    They disappear when we win, only come out after a loss.

    The nerve of the umpire to call Brown’s kick at the end not 15 metres.

    Called it before we marked it, only because we went backwards. Convinced the umps are under instruction about kicking backwards late in quarters.

    • 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.
