Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Nice work from Gus who put himself in the perfect spot. But snuffs it. Gotta nail those.

10 second display of why Melksham will never get dropped 

 

We certainly have to work hard for our kicks.Kicks

Brayshaw could've had a hand in 2 as well, but missed. 

Disappointing finish there.  Should have kicked that.

Pretty average start but, hey, we lead.  Lots of improvement still to come and we generally start slow.

 

Surely a 50 against Papley for being in Brayshaw's protected zone?

He should have kicked that regardless, though.

We played poorly but have a 3 point lead. Question is whether the breeze will cause us grief in the second quarter.

Hope we don't regret missed opportunities now that they have the wind in the second,


Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter? 

Midfield. It’s all about the midfield. Swans are playing a spare down back so unless we can win some clearances we will keep battling a congested forwardline which Sydney love. 

Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Hopefully Weid can get a touch soon.

At least we rallied late.

Why does Melksham give away lazy head high frees all the time????

Great pressure from Sydney then. They’ve got the matchups right so far. Goodwin will have to make a change or three to make a break.

Will he do it?

Alarm bells ringing for me we don’t look switched on at all soft tackling, back to just bombing it in and mids hesitating with ball in hand and getting caught or smothered. This quarter against the wind will be a test of how much we want this.

Weideman 0 disposals, 0 marks, 0 goals, 0 tackles, 0 hitouts, 0 anything...  get involved FFS

Bit hard when our forward 50 entries have been abysmal. 

Spargo. Great snap but that was Wagners goal. Great pressure/spoil

  • 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.

  • 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.
