Different leg I think

 

TMac two quick goals. That’s kept us in it here. If we keep the pressure up we’ll win. It’s all down to hunger now boys. Dig in and get the job done!

We're on top here

Just poor kicking again.

2g5b to 2g2b

 

Should be miles in front

Have to watch out for the hometown umpiring on the run home

 

 

This match can’t end soon enough.

Very lucky George dropped a sitter

James Brayshaw was barely concealing his disappointment

Don't mind a good chicken kebab!

how was that not holding the ball by Powell-pepper took on two tackles and dropped the ball

 

 

And a failed fend-off. Very lucky he was on the boundary line and stepped over it

We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. 

Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

 

Lucky end to the quarter.

We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now.

Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

Typo

We’ve extended our lead each quarter.

Time to step on the windpipe and smother the breath out of them. 


Decent sized Dees crowd behind the goals. ❤️?

Rhetorical question - answer is easy. Port player at Adelaide Oval. 

Good 2nd half of that quarter. We got back into it. That Langdon point hurt but luckily McDonald kicked a nice goal. 

We have led all night and at times comfortably. Now is not the time to drop it. 

Just need to take our opportunities and continue to attack. 

Petty has been great tonight 


Thanks you Tmac. Two massive goals. Let’s get the the first goal and finish them

It was his opposite foot. That being said, it sounded rushed anyway. Mid week I was thinking why would they. I think it’s unlucky and not related, but still a valid question.

Peps Pig caught with the ball - no free. 

Holding the ball every day of the week! Pick up put out the don’t argue then spin into another tackle and handball over the line, yeah throw it in. Unbelievable. 

TMac video of the week !


Brown + McDonald is like brownies and McDonald's - a winning combo.

Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

 

As an aside, where was the ‘What they are saying down at Alberton’ thread this week?

How many players can Powell Pepper take on?

Two and then handball deliberately over the line and no frees at all.  There are diff rules for this mob or whistle just gets put away with the obvious stuff on their side much of the time.

Gawny works Lycett off the ball in the ruck contest straight after but apparently you're not allowed to be strong in the contest!

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
