Weather forecast turning sour. Rain and strong winds possible Sunday afternoon.  Having 3 talls could backfire on us. North will relish it. Havent Sportsbet heard of Bass Strait and Tasmanian weather.

I bet alot of money is going on North this week. Poor weather and sympathetic umps might keep them in the game.

 

 

 

 

There are not enough corrupt or incompetent umpires to get the kangas over the line this week. Their best chance of  a win would be a volcanic eruption of Mt Wellington or divine intervention 

 

I’m excited as anyone but I’m going in with lower expectations, if he kicks 3, has good connection with the midfielder, and gets through unhindered I’ll be happy.

So the powers that be maybe have decided that Melkshams ongoing lack of tackle is analagous to playing a deep full forward and having a three headed monster in Tmac, LJ and BBB. 

Wow that's a tall forward line - not quite WCE tall but still v. tall.  Granted BBB plays more as a leading forward. 

Excited to see how this affects the balance. 

It's quite a bit taller than West Coast's:

Tmac (194cm), LJ (199cm) and BBB (200cm)

vs

Kennedy (194cm), Darling (191cm) and Allen (194cm)

Did you happen to watch the Richmond game? Max, LJ and TMac seemed to go alright in the rain...

What makes me smile is if you put this lot in a time trial, we would win by the length of Flemington straight, I can't remember any team that has had such aerobically fit talls. Tmac would probably be the only one that would hold his own on the bench press.  F50 Defensive pressure I reckon we win (just). 

 

wrong thread.

Bloody oath, im on fire

Playing devil’s advocate here, if hypothetically Brown has a quiet couple of games how much time do we give him? Particularly if Weid is showing solid VFL form?

Just saw the interview BBB did today that's on the club website.

We all know he can play - but gee he also speaks well.  You can tell by what he says that he's very aware and humble - would have to be great for our culture.  How the Roos let him go for next to nothing I'll never know.

Here it is.  Don't know where the above graphic comes from, but it's gold!

Weather is sunny and 22... which city are you looking up? 


 

Would be happy seeing Big Benny Brown or "Brenny" as Angus Bradshaw calls him kick 3 or 4 goals. I will admit....seeing "Brenny" kick a big bag of 7 or more goals would be extremely enjoyable though! I am sure he will want to prove the Kangaroos wrong for wanting to get rid of him!

 

Nevertheless, getting the win against the Kangaroos is far more important. I hope the Demons players remain focused and don't get too ahead of themselves and start drinking their own bath water.

 

Just gotta play one quarter at a time and be humble and respect our opponents no matter where they sit on the ladder.

Jackson may be 199 but he can play smaller. Brown for example plays like someone that's 200cm. Jackson is agile enough that his height isn't a detriment in wet weather. Last Saturday being a prime example.

He's OOC. If he wants out a lower placed club, lets say Collingwood, could take him in the PSD for free.

If there is a trade to be done, we do not have much of a leg to stand on in terms of demands, given he is OOC and wants out.

Going to be interesting to see if he gets a game, if he continues VFL form including fwd pressure etc, and if any success keeps him here. I mean, by all means go to Collingwood, their future is screaming grand finals to me #amirite?

Hobart forecast.

Winds up to 20 knots.

Thats a strong wind.

Dont worry ,Nth two's were abysmal last night. Melb will win by 3 or 30 goals. Umps will likely be the best three players for Nth.

Agreed. Same with Tom in current form. He's agile enough to get the ball on the ground and lay tackles to lock the ball in.

 

I'll set the over/under on the game time it takes for concern about his lack of tackling and pressure at 4 minutes.  Luckily, he replaces Melksham whose line is usually set at 2 minutes. 3/4 goals a game is his key benchmark imo.

  • 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?
