Brisbane flexing their muscles by crushing 18th, 17th & 15th on the ladder so far. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    I think the difference is Carlton have underlying quality in their top 8-10, but fall away horribly from 16. They would have been a finals side last year with even a borderline competent coach.

    Collingwood just have a very ordinary list.

    The commentary team on Fox handing out the March Premiership to the Lions after dismantling last years wooden spooners.

    Call me old fashion but I’m still preferring the one we won in September last year.

    Well,  it will, to paraphrase one of their loudmouthed, multichinned ex presidents, be their grand final.

    I stand corrected. In that case, I hope the Pies lose every game for the rest of the year in exactly the same fashion as tonight.

    Yep, faux tough guys. Then once September comes, they cack their dacks. Lost 5/6 finals for all their chest beating. Now there’s a team that drinks their own bath water.

    What are the odds of Noble going around as coach next year? Sure he doesn’t have much to work with, but he is such a vanilla and boring coach.

    Never mind, I already have my answer.

    Meanwhile…………….an army of 4014 rocked up to see the franchises play today. Money well spent by the AFL there.

    Does anyone outside of nth Melbourne really care or give a thought about them?

    To be fair, I don’t care about or give a thought to 17 of the clubs in the AFL neither.

    Lions are clear second favourite to win the flag so I guess a 108 pt win by them isn’t ideal for the other contenders such as us. 

    We must finish top 2 this year in order to avoid a GABBA prelim.

    While I agree they are a strong chance, please let’s make absolutely 0 judgements on them based on smashing North Melbourne. I’ll be impressed when I see them win against a good side. 
    They play Geelong in Geelong next week. Let’s revisit this topic then shall we?

    I actually think about a number of clubs ... my anger and dislike of them occupies large amounts of my thinking time. Is that normal? Especially the filth ... and the following (in no particular order) -  Jee-long, Richmond, Essendon (although less these days cos they're pretty hopeless), Footscray.

    The dogs beat north by more last year and didn't even make top four. It's a long season, and I agree the Lions are my predicted GF opponent, but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge yet.

    Just getting paranoid about Brisbane getting a ton of percentage over us, even if it’s early days.

    • 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.
