Good teams just find a way to win. 26 points up with a couple of minutes to go and our boys are still chasing opponents down. Keep accumulating those 4 points.

 

I'm obviously happy we got the points, but it felt a little flat. Not even sure who our star was. Probably Tommy in the first half. And some of our smalls kicking goals when we needed, Spargo, Kosi, ANB etc. 

Will need to lift big time against the Doggies and lions.

 

Personally, I am really pleased to see the team function well - and in particularly the forwardline - in the first game of the iteration that they have presumably wanted with Brown, Tmac, Weid and Fritsch in.

29 scoring shots - plus a couple that went wide, in wet conditions.

Satisfying.

 

 

Take a bow..

Tmac

Oliver

May

Salem

Thats nine zero folks.

Go you beautful Demons.

Cameos from Kozzie and Nibbler.

Thought Gus was better


Haven't seen the game but a few things I noticed were:

  1. Carlton kicked 10.8. That is the fourth consecutive week we've conceded 18 scoring shots, which we also conceded in Rounds 1 and 2. It is the highest amount of scoring shots registered against us all year (the other three games were 13, 15 and 14).
  2. The fourth quarter was level. Whilst we didn't win it, we obviously also didn't lose it, meaning we've still only lost one fourth quarter all season.
  3. An interesting flip in clearances: this week we were +1 in centre clearances but -16 in stoppage clearances.

The game was without commentary on TV. All i heard was barracking (for CFC) by BT and Brayshaw.

NVM, we stuck it up 'em in the end.

 

Go Dees!

  • Hunt best game for a while
  • Spargo best game for year?
  • Petty looked more assured 
  • Brayshaw better but still a bit wasteful 
  • River's continues to fly under radar 
  • Chandler not ready but wouldn't mind seeing him play at least another game

Im sure we will soon. I dont think we are playing our best with the same slow starts.

Full credit to us though we got another raw deal from unprofessional umpires but like every other match we just kept pushing and pushing.

Our fwd structure was off today as was our midfield in the first half.

We will sort it out and find our best form at the best time.

Max seems tired as does Trac but you cant keep champions down.

Full credit to Langdon again. Just always playing his absolute best and never kwts us down.

Spargo growing in confidence.

Olivers fitness is fantastic.

Where woyld we be without Tmac...five and four if lucky.

He is as good as he ever was.

Well done Trac for helping wash all that stuff out of Chandler’s eyes. Poor bugger really copped a proper Gatorade (and Milk????) shower.

He is horrible! Worst commentating of a game ever. Also when will the commentators start actually talking us up. Just because we are not Richmond they always have to criticise and just sound down about us! 


Decent win. Did what we had to do. 

Defence is solid and dependable. Not sure about all the talls up forward. Pressure game was off. Clearance work so so. Skills weren’t great but it was tough to hold onto the ball in the conditions.

TMac excellent first half. Salem was probably best for us overall. Lever and May very good. Oliver did some good things. Most players contributed.

Trac trying too hard. Just needs to forget about the contract and do the simple things well.

The Weid did ok for his first game. Chandler offered little and will struggle to hold his spot.

I liked the fact that Kozzie showed some sportsmanship. He should be applauded for that.

They say the hallmark of a good team is to win playing badly. So shouldn’t really complain too much. But it would be great to see us hit out stride and play well for 4 quarters.

We bank the 4 points and move on.

Go Dees.

9 from 9 but we need to lift. It must be difficult hating life.

 

Good win without really getting out of 3rd gear. Jimmy Jordon had a great game for me. Bit wasteful in front of goals, else the margin probably would have been 8-10 goals. 
 

Seemed like Carlton were the only team on the park where the holding the man rule applied

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
