Unless he is tagging, Iā€™d have Harmes on the wing. Likes to run and plays better when he has space in front of him. Just need to get him to commit to non-stop running for potentially little reward.

I'm not so sure Harmes has the self control to play the wing position?
A lot of Gus' role seems be to position himself in a hole to create perceived pressure, not great for the disposals tally, but super important for the rest of the team.

Jackson looked better?

Ā 

Has transformed himself in the last few weeks.

His marking is great and now unlike earlier this year is doing what fwds should....score goals.Ā 

And reminds me of that song...

I was only nineteen.šŸ˜

How many of Dr. D's proclamations came true? The us finishing fifth one is up there with 'bring peace forĀ our time' after the Munich agreement was signed. And that got nixed last week!

Or has he given us more prognostications for us to debunk moving forward?Ā :roos:

Another slight complaint was Petty when matched up one on one with Fogarty

Bit harsh I reckon,Ā Col. Fogarty is enormous, and uses it very well. He also had the ideal position on the ball when he took his marks. Unless youā€™re similarly built, itā€™s near impossible to shift a guy like thatĀ in that situation.Ā Not sure thereā€™s any more Petty could have done. He was excellent todayĀ as our key defender otherwise.Ā

Thought we were lazy at the start and later on, but a stunning win. Loved seeing Fitch on spark. 7.0. What an effort.

Now we have equaled or highest ever winning season (1956.)

Go Dees.

Would love to see Petty up forward. He is a marking beast and tough as nails.

Thatā€™s where heā€™ll end up, but shhhhā€¦..

Some great performances but for me, Smiths solid performance coming in late with FA matches was a standout.

I wrote after the first quarter that Fritta may have been stoned. My judgement was reconfirmed as not being without merit as he hadn't had a touch. If he was on something, it must have started peaking after the quarter time break as he played magnificently with the opportunities he was given.

Ā 

Whatever he was on, letā€™s just hope he takes a bunch more of it next Saturday!

It wasn't a pantsing by any measure. Just a slight thing I noticed. Any team that holds another to 60 odd points hasn't been opened up by any measure. And Harry contributed to that defensive effort for sure.

We get May back next week, who is the ideal candidate for those one on one match ups, and Petty can play his role as an interceptor and spoiler roaming along the backline. All will be perfectly copacetic (instead of goodĀ with a slight imperfection). Fogarty would have had much harder time getting body position on May.

Yep, May would obviously be a better match, for every reason. I likedĀ Harryā€™s game in his absence a lot though.Ā

Listening on Fox I felt the song was slightly subdued. Perhaps me singing along drowned them out a bit.

Ā 

TheĀ  score against from turnovers,Ā were a worry in the thirst half. We need to keep control of it.

Moths to flame at times.

When the Crows were going quickly, we looked a mess.Ā Ā 

Used the switch of play early, then not much as the game wore on.Ā Ā 

Stood up when it was their time Petty, Bbb, Friita, Langdon, Spargo, Salem.Ā 

Oliver's goal kicking, yips again. Worked his way into the game.Ā 

Harmes worked hard all game, liked his linking handball, gets and receives.Ā 

We fell off a few when we tackled.Ā 

Ā Tracc had answers, composure and became the steadying influence.Ā 

Gawn and Jackson dominance is beautiful.Ā 

Worried about Sparrow, disposal efficiency has fallen.

JJ, Rivers, Petty andĀ Bowey playing well.

Well done Smith, ready if there are injuries to the big backs.

Some soft frees to us.

Need more outside run.

The G is ours!

Forge theĀ the game I still can't get over Fritsch! When was the last time we had someone kick 7?Ā 

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

Yep credit to the crows who knew how to crowd our fwd line. Its hard to do for four quarters.

AndĀ  whenĀ Ā Fritta has room he is an excitement machine.

For his size and weight seven is supreme.

Has an uncanny sense of where the goals are and often snaps truly.

Great time to get back to his best.

And while coaches have to worry about him...bb will be lurking...jacko is clunking them and kicking goals and Tmac will come back in.

Anb has been kicking a few as well.

Im hoping Kozzie is a wild card in the finals and our forward line becomes better than our defence.

I feel sorry for Joel Smith who would normally be a shoe in next week based on a game like that, but unfortunately will make way for Maysy. Didn't put a foot wrong.

Im not so sure .. Depending on matchups I think it a line ball between him and Hibbo. Both were great today (especially Smith)Ā 

Special praise to Spargo who put together a very good 4 quarter effort today!Ā 

My changes assuming fitness

May for Hibbo

Viney for Sparrow

T Mac for MelkshamĀ 

with Gus and Jordan lucky but might still go depending on if they want Hibbo in the side

Also Harmes to do a Tough as nails tagging job take no prisoners on Dangermouse!

He'll be lurking in the shadows somewhere. Waiting to pick his mark.

  • 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?
