Genuinely think we're the best side in it so far this year. Port have been hot and cold. the Dogs looked good at stages but haven't been tested and their backline is a real weakness against better sides. and we've beaten Geelong and RIchmond. 

 

 

the ch 7 commentary from the bunker in docklands sounds weirdly subdued today

the way the swans play is really interesting; chip chip chip

if it works it's great but if you can pressure their forward entries they struggle a bit

Surprised with how poor Port are looking

We've been by far the most consistent and solid team thus far. I don;t think we've had a bad quarter yet.

 

A strange year, with erratic performances (up and down) happening week to week.  Sides down 5% get cut up, and few teams have a system that works.  Teams have looked champagne or boiled lollies with little apparent change.  Stands us in good stead with a solid system.  We have seen off several solid efforts (including the two grand finalists) and it seems more than the sugar rush offered up randomly by others.  Defence wins flags.  Not impressed by many others 7 weeks in.  Dees are looking well set up in comparison.

Because GWS need more top 5 picks. Bloody hell!

It’s ok. They keep their feet warm before they move to better clubs.

Dogs were weak as [censored] last night and Port are getting slaughtered as we speak.

Of course we are the best side in the comp.

The umps kick another goal for Geelong.

They’re very good at it. They’ve been doing it for years.

Between the botched salary cap, disastrous trade period,  Eddie standing down, Grundy contract,   their 1-6 start where Buckley has lost the players and the players dont even care about the jumper, losing to Gold Coast at the G'...

The Pies are officially a basket-case.

If only Port had run out in the " prison bar " guernsey,  would have topped off a great week for the pies....


Some “surprise results” this round.

Hope our guys see this as a gentle warning and just go out and smash Norf.

Very concerned that everything is going our way. Usually does not bode well!

Hoping the 2021 demons are the real deal

gawn / jackson v hickey / mclean is going to be good to watch next week, presuming our two get thru fine tomorrow

can't believe that hickey got up from a pcl after 1 week - was meant to be out for 6!

Look like a class of recalcitrant schoolboys sitting down to a reality check homily from the coach post game.

Do you mean the free kick milking cheats ?

Cats absolutely shafted on that last call. I reckon it went 20 at least

But how good is it to see them on the wrong side of an umpiring decision. 

 

Clearly holding the ball at the end. Seems karma has ran over the Cats!

Some hubris amongst Demon folk setting in. 
 

the season is very very long

 

we can cover the swans and crows and dogs

  • 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?
