    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.

    If this is the best Geelong can do against this mob its going to be horrible for them next week.

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

    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.

    [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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
