    Sorry Sam, we’ll get back to you in a moment….

    For my money, the best version was by Them.

    More goals than Lobb and Taberner combined 🤣🤣

    True story, how good was it seeing those fakers do nothing!

    That said the problem is Lobb will likely be part of the LJ trade as Freo don’t have great picks to trade to us. So it might have been nice to see Lobb show something as a forward.

    Josh Bruce had 2 disposals against us, manned by Tomlinson for a portion of the game.

    Matt Taberner - who’s actually handy at his best - had 6 disposals last night. Felt like 2.

    There’s no way to describe a 1 possession game as good but I don’t think it was Sam’s worst

    Just listened to the presser and Goody made no mention at all about Weideman?

    Yes he did, thanked the Midfielder’s including Sam

    Those holding out hope for Sam are kidding themselves. He is just not up to it.

    We in the other hand need to secure a KPF. Was watching some Of BBB last year and there is a considerable difference in output. I think his knee is cooked.

    Geez it would have been handy to snag Walker.

    What? Mate what press conference are you listening to? The only forward who got a mention was Bayley Fritsch and that was due to the questioned being asked if he was All Australian form. 

    Again, Goody never once mentions Sam's name at all and that's after I've listened to it twice. 

    What minute mark was it mentioned?

    So today he was bad, but not significantly worse than last week..... which means he was bad then as well but worse today.

    I have never seen a bar set quite so low.

    Lets hope his surname inspires Collingwood to do something stupid like offering us a late second rounder for him, because thats the best we can hope for.

    He might be a fantastic person, but he aint a key forwards bootlace.

    I think Brown would have been no better last night to be fair. I was at the game and saw Weid often more competitive in contested situations than last week. Conditions had a big say.

    Rubbish. At least BBB attacks that ball in marking contests, and makes some effort once it hits the ground. I suggest you watch the replay. Weid was not interested in making second efforts.

    His best footy is as the second ruck and to be honest he’s probably be better in that position than Jackson at the moment.

    No he’s not a shadow of LJ

    It was the first presser up on the AFL website last night. I watched it twice. Because i was in shock!!

    Maybe Goody did a take 2 and replaced it!!

    Or maybe he just didn't mention him at all? I don't think I've ever heard of a press conference having to do a take 2...

    Melbourne has too strong a list to keep giving Weid one last chance after another. Goodwin said in his presser that Brown is good to go next week.

    One change re Coll ... BBB for Weid. Thats it.  No mention  of Jackson or Lever  being injured.

    Toss Jacko into CHF see what he can  do infront of 80,000 on the G. May as well throw him to the wolves. Looks like he's going back to WA.

    If we had too strong a list, he wouldn't be getting a game. He's getting a game due to lack of tall forward options. Jackson and Max have struggled at various stages this year forward too.

    They think of Taberner over here, what we think of Weid, morning sports radio and about how quickly they need to dump him. How he had 1 okay season and hasn't performed since.   They dislike his lack of effort etc.

    The bronx cheers last night certainly explained that..

    • 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?
