We are good at nullifying the opposition. Four weeks in a row, made them look 2nd tiers.

Was Duncan, Miers or Guthrie playing. 

Great game plans Coaches.

Was excellent coaching and good execution by the players

Not sure who negated Guthrie in 1st Qrt but saw Jones playing tagging fwd role in 3rd and 4th on Tuohy and others. ANB, Spargo, Pickett, Sparrow all played great defensive roles

Viney and Tracc smashed them in the guts and Oliver did his bit while fending off a hard tag. Even Tmac had a good contested game

The pressure from everyone was the massive highlight for me! I am pumped to see us grind a good team, particularly when they had a great 10 minute stretch to narrow the gap

Steve May - fractured eye socket 

4-6 weeks

Thanks Jumbo but this is sad news indeed.

I think it was an accident but hawkins should not have been swinging his elbows around.

On that basis anyone could do it and hide under the same pretext.

Like a ball over the line on purpose or not...how do you judge intent?

 

Gee the Cats were so so lucky it was wet. We were all over them most of the day. Dry day and we would have really carved them up.

Great win. Our tackling was awesome. We were physical and ferocious. Good signs.

Big shame about May. Petty gets his chance.  We will be ok.

I've now lost 4 bets in a row. I'm hoping it continues next week. Go Dees Go. 

Please don’t change your current betting system. It’s working for us.


Langdon is a genuine star of our team. What he brought to our side is invaluable. Probably our most important recruit this decade. 
Also thought Gus did exceptionally well when thrown down back when May went down. 
We showed really maturity to turn the momentum in the last quarter and not let the horrid umpiring get to us. 
Some of the decisions today were baffling. 
 

My only let down today was Melksham. He did nothing offensively and defensively he is trash. 
 

Hawkins,    high contact, reckless elbow, severe result, should be nothing less than 3 weeks, intentional or not.

That umpire tho.

 

Sounded like a foghorn.

I actually thought someone was taking the [censored]! Then realised it was the umpire haha!


That was just a genuine great win.  Everyone contributed, nobody shirked and we operated as a unit all game.  Yes, there were a few moments of idiocy that cost us goals, but overall we once again controlled the game and didn't panic when they got a run on. 

Of particular note is the fact that we were never behind.  Not once in that game.  We scored first and they never caught up.  I don't remember the last time that happened.  Even with our usual trouble converting, that was pretty close to a complete game. 

Is anyone else noticing how much the twins (Hunt and Langdon) are feeding off each other?  It seems to me that Landon's presence on the outside has inspired Hunt and he's now working much harder to match his lookalike. 

Do we have confirmation that May has a broken eye socket?  That's what it looked like on the ground with the massive swelling and I see someone has mentioned it earlier.

Sparrow is always in the top bracket for pressure acts.

Maybe we should leave him in the team...   even though I didnt mind Melk coming in.

Did you see him sooking when Spargo did the same to him? Been doing it for years but can't cop it when it goes the other way

My 3 favourite moments other than the magnificent win:

1) Free kick against Selwood for a high tackle on the ducking Spargo in the first q. Can dish it out but can't take it!

2) Seeing Viney mark in front of goal and watching Selwood (his direct opponent and 15m away) pointing to all and sundry in a 'not my fault way'

3) Kossie standing over Selwood as mentioned earlier..... say no more

Yes, I have a problem with Selwood, or should I say, had

Goodwin and his coaching staff deserve a lot of the credit.

He has picked a team that has not changed in the first 4 rounds

When the opposition gets on top, we now have a plan B and C to counter this.

Our defensive set up is the best I've seen in recent memory.

The team is playing for each other and for their coach.

Langdin has gone to another level.

I thought Jackson was in the ruck too long but it paid off with Max finishing with a full tank.

Also a highlight was Kozzie giving him lip after he gave a free to KP. There was something left hanging from half time siren

Champion footballer, butalways gives a hard-done-by display which is rich for a bloke who's professionalised the art of getting soft frees

He lacks the humility of a Dangerfield/Ablett Jnr who show much more respect when beaten

I friggen loved that when Spargo gave him a taste of his own medicine the cheating F'n little runt.

Can anybody find out when we were last 5 and 0 to start a season?

  • 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?
