  • No offence Melbourne fans reading this, this all the hallmarks of a mid-season coach firing.
  • If May doesn't get up we should win it easily IMO.
  • Looking at both forward lines it could end up the lowest score in AFL history.
  • The Cairn's catastrophe was where we took Melbourne's last glimmer of finals hope last season and flushed it down the toilet.
  • Max Gawn likely to do battle with the inexperienced Lloyd Meek. If Meek can just not get absolutely smashed by Gawn then we are in with a good chance.
  • Gawn best on. Tabs will be double teamed by May and Lever all day.
  • Lever seems to be made of the same brittle substance as Sturt.
  • Unfortunately, I think Melbourne win this by 2-4 goals. Too many injuries and no forward line for us.
  • I'll be very surprised if we kick 65 points.
  • They also have no forward line at the moment only Mcdonald who looks very ordinary now days and Fritsch.
  • The hype-train has us playing finals. If that's going to be the case, this game is a 'must win'.
  • The biggest error the club made in the last 5 years was trading for Hogan instead of picking Ben King at the draft.
  • It is highly likely this weekend's AFLW game between the same two clubs will have a bigger scoreline than Melb v Freo in Rd 1.
  • I don't think that either team is going to do much damage in 2021 .... except to their supporters.
  • Melbourne are trash! I hate to say it but If we lose to them we are in the back alley right alongside them!
  • I think we should be good enough to beat Melbourne. Their pre-season has been awful and I don’t see any growth coming in that list from last year. We should win.
     
 

Normal insular comments from a supporter group. To be expected and certainly no worse than those on here who post that we are top 4 material.

The first comment was a beauty and spot on. Goodwin would be looking for a real estate agent if Freo rolls us this weekend as I think they might.

 

I don't think too much of that is wrong to be totally honest.. 

Realistically it's hard to see either team scoring a whole lot, Gawn is likely to dominate the ruck but we've seen that doesn't mean we will do anything with that dominance. 

I think our best chance is to play Petracca forward quite a lot. pound for pound he's our best avaliable forward, and we've gotta hope Clarry, Gus and Harmes can get on top in the middle.

I love it. Footys back and so comes all the rubbish that goes with it. 

For some reason as a member/supporter you do take offence when really you have almost zero responsibility for how the result will turn out. Likewise, it's absolutely great to give my mates a heap of [censored] when their team is hopeless.


- Christian Salem is going to give us #3rd degree burns off half back, if we don't put a clamp on him

I like the AFLW comment. Probably true.

They must be writing their own articles over there! Have not heard this once!

3rd degree Cockburns


Would love to see Clarry pushed into the Forward line for resting spurts if his shoulders are up to it.

I would love to see these pre-match supporter comments from the opposition re-visited at the end of the year, with awards for comedy, delusion and grammar.  Colingwoad sure to be very short in the latter market.

Here's one for the same thread on their board:

- Apart from Fyfe and Mundy I haven't heard of any of their players

Really?  I thought it was quite decent when we beat Richmond despite having half a dozen of our first team sidelined.  I do agree that we were smashed by the Doggies, but Fremantle don't have anywhere near that level of class on their list. 

For a team that has been pretty poor and had a mediocre season their supporters are surprisingly optimistic.

I will be bitterly disappointed if we lose this game given their outs and the fact it's at the G.... don't let me down Dees

I know it's dining out on past glories but we have 12 premierships cups in our trophy cabinet. How many does Freo have? That's right. NONE. Losers

Because of that statement, BDA, you may have now sentenced us to lose against Freo. How could you have been so thoughtless?

  • 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?
