Good finish but what Iā€™m most happy about was seeing Gussy in the guts and winning the clearance immediately. Look out Harmesy

Ā 

Exactly what we needed. They pushed us enough to get a good hit out but we looked like we had a couple ofĀ Ā gears if we needed them. No injuries and the semblance of aĀ functioning forward line. Clarryā€™s kicking and Brayshawā€™s limited impact the only concerns. Well played number 31, number 5 and number 6 (again).Ā Ā 

Kick Straight and the job becomes so much easierĀ 

Practice this week ChocoĀ 

Get them kicking sweetly

Hardly touched it in the first quarter, that was up there in Farmer 2000 vs Collingwood territory!

Give that bloke space and its at your own expense.

Great win challenged early thought here we go again but ended up winning comfortably. Fritsch brilliant 7 and Gawn was great as usual.

We have waited through a lot of crap for this SWYLĀ Ā 

Funny old win. Pretty good shape going into finals (at least physically)Ā which might dependingĀ on Dogs v Port on Friday, begin next week. Only change Iā€™d make is Viney for Sparrow, May for Smith (great work Joel), andĀ Tmac for Fritsch.Ā 

Letā€™s tryĀ this again.

To the people who feel the need to comment on how negative the gameday thread is. Yeah, ya donā€™t say.

Gameday threads are full of venting. Some of it mindless. Some of it ridiculous. Always have been. Always will be.

IfĀ you canā€™t accept that, just donā€™t open them. Easy. Casting judgement on them just makes you look like a turnip.

And if you really want a gameday safe space full of sunshineĀ and rainbows, go nuts. Just keep your ā€œgee this place is soĀ negativeā€ drivel out of the gameday threads. Itā€™sĀ an emotional game.Ā 

Ā 

Bayley Fritsch, take a bow!

Take his final three goals out of the equation and I think he still had a career best day. Was chasing and tackling all afternoon.


Probably the least invested I've been in a game since 2019 but plenty to take from it.

The Gawn/Jackson combination at the moment is just poetry. Most sides would kill for one player of that quality.

Fritsch is going to be hard to ignore for AA based on this performance. Kicks goals in his sleep.

Still a lot to work on. I'm not totally convinced by the form of Sparrow and Jordan. As frustrating as Viney can be, I think he clearly offers more at present and will be straight in for one of then. I also like Melksham and have him as an "In" for the finals but that free kick he gave away was disgraceful.Ā

That game felt exactly like a game where the result didn't matter. We didn't get out of second gear it felt like.

You're right. And hardly anybody bothered to attend, either.

I really liked our last quarter. Aside from a bit of cream at the end I thought we set up very nicely behind the ball to defend the game for most of theĀ quarter.

Our boys are looking the goods. TMac, Viney and May to come back in. Big week on the track. Iā€™m a very happy Dees fan tonight.

Did the job - turned the corner for the home straight.Ā  Here we go...

It's a simple solution as you say don't open the thread.

Our backline did look fairly shaky in parts, Steven May is clearly an incredibly important cog in the backline system.Ā 

I thought Petty was outstanding, his trajectory of improvement this year has been quite phenomenal, deserves any and all credit he gets.Ā 

and the Crustless quiche strikes again!!Ā

Wut?

Good hitĀ out really.

Still things to work on and Iā€™m certain we can go up a gear.

The Fritsch magnet!!

As our leading scorer for the year its great to see Fritta get a bag again a week before finals.

Get well soon our second.

  • 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 Fullartonā€™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 Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™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 wasnā€™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 teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā 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.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ 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 theyā€™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 ā€˜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. Sundayā€™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?
