    Agree picket but I've got good money hanging on the aints .

    Maybe I can hit you up for a loan since you can dine so lavishly.

    funny side that filth

    • a jumping jack who threw away being a premiership player
    • a very tall skinny blind man
    • and a man named after a bottom who likes to stroll around the streets naked

    Pies by a big margin, pressure is greater, sadly still look a few years off. (Great last words)

    Cox mouthing off against umpires - no 50

    Double standards, maggots.

    filth happy to give up the 5m on the mark behind centre in order for the man ostensibly 'on the mark' able to be moving when play on gets called

    Seen it a bit in few games so far, umpires need to police the 5m though, as often players are just going 2-3 m back

    When are you allowed to run back a few metres rather than “stand”. I’m confused.

    Saints have a game plan? Not really seeing one.

    I'm not sure about that picket but he definitely needs a white cane to complete the ensemble

    Pedestrian first half. Low intensity. We’ll beat both these teams handily

    To think this time last year people were talking up St Kilda as a top 4 side. They're bottom 4 and as far away as ever from breaking their premiership drought

    Their pressure is really down from when they were having a good run in 2020. It takes really dedication and commitment to play a high pressure game style. Dare I say they have the personnel to really burn you on turnover… just lack the intensity at the moment.

     

    Pies v Saints = poor spectacle.

    Pies playing 18 men as defenders who run madly forward and hope someone runs faster than St Kida. No way can they sustain this for 4 quarters. Strange gameplan, a bit like early Gerard Neesham at the Dockers, or Matty Knights when he coached the Bombers. Maybe if they leave Degoey forward it might work, but it isn't pretty.

    Saints are doing a lot right but missing so many targets by hand around the stoppages. Turnovers at half forward are piling up. I reckon they will run over the top of the silly Pies gameplan. 

    But the crossword book is looking good right now.

    • 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?
