Yep, ideal result for us really. Would have spent a lot of petrol tickets and got the win to escape scrutiny and maybe rest on their laurels.

Haha Frosty showed why we were happy to get rid of him. Continues to run around like a headless Chook and butcher the footy with that last kick.

I hope we have learnt from this short chipping keepings off crap these mugs have served up over the years.

Put them in their place Dees.

Geelong are absolutely beatable next week.

They haven't looked that good in any of their three games so far. They don't play a style that traditionally scares us (i.e. they play slow), and Hawkins aside they don't have a forward line that scares me. They set up well behind the ball but the way we have moved the ball so far this year, I think we're capable of scoring against them.

Game played right to the last minute, big hits, injuries, hot day, extra day break, all the perfect ingredients of fatigue.

Beautiful.

Agree. I’m starting to feel a 4-0 season start .

[censored], you would have to start scrolling the record books for the first 4-0 start in MFC history.

I'd say somewhere in the 50's or 60's

Agree they are gettable.  Need to keep the speed in the game, and respond to their short kicking bs (that drove me nuts when we played them last year).  Dominate the forward half play, have better method going forward and use more speed and we can split them open.  Need to be disciplined as the umps love them and they are a bunch of ducking snipers.

1994. Which is also our last 5-0 start.

Edit: unless you actually mean our first, which was in 1897.

Oh frosty I was sad when you left but watching our backline and how they have started and seeing you do vital errors today I really don't miss you now. 

Obviously stopping Hawkins is so vital next week but confident May can step up. I'm hoping Jezza does not play. 

anyway it was a good game but dumb turnovers in the final quarter wrecked it for hawthorn.

They really know how to milk and play for free kicks. The bastards obviously train for it

Definitely Scott's influence (along with Selwood). They probably justify it by the 'whatever it takes' mantra

If Geelong employ the same rope a dope tactics against us we’ll win. We have a proper set-up now behind the ball so they won’t be able to counter. We cover them easily in the match-ups around the ground as well.

We will need to be ready for their s**those tactics though. They will duck, dive, pinch, poke and do whatever it takes to knock us off our stride. They really are a very dislikeable team.

Yep. They know exactly what they need to do to win, and they will push it beyond the limits 

(Watch the Guthrie Goal in the first Quarter) the new rule is far from perfect, the concept is great. But Guthrie exploited it to the max. 
They scraped through and got 4 points

Higgins out is massive, he’s the kind of player that tends to cut us up.

Higgins is done...he's had very little influence in the first 3 games, just a couple of nice cameo's.

Collecting his pension down at the Cats...at least it's not us.

No excuses whatsoever next Sunday 

We play hard and fast Footy for 4 Quarters, we win

IF we switched on 4quarters every week we would win every week.  Doing better but still a way to go.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
