I think they have a very good forward structure with Hipwood still to return.

Midfield.. equal

Backline .. we are better

It's when you watch a game like us you realise how well structured our backline defence is. On its day though a dominant midfield can tear it apart.

For a few minutes I was barracking for Collingwood but I came to my senses !!

Yea the Lions are an ave day from us being a real challenge, they good.


edit:

One thing I’ve noticed is they’re very aggressive, something that might challenge us.

    Put Brisvegas under serious pressure and I reckon they can be broken. 
    They have some very good players, but as a team, something is missing

    I think it's about time good old Joey Daniher got weeks for staging.

    It's gone well beyond the joke now Joe.

    At least the umpires are awake.

    Do we have a frees per game stat? Feels like the umps are very much on the front foot at the moment, lots of frees. The arm around in a marking contest is a big one, feels like a big shift to a Netball type approach.

    Kruger looks like a good, albeit raw, young player for the Magpies.

    Sidebottom squeezes the ball through a random hole like you squeeze a random drunken, naked body through a “random front door while you’re off your face” and then blame it on something else.

    Brisbane are our challengers. Their main chink is they are very heavy set physique wise, much in the mold of Lions 2001 and i reckon they can be outrun with handball overlap.

    Not from what I can see. Hate to say it but the Cats are in front of them at this stage.

    Million dollar man Grundy. Zero marks. Not much influence on the game. 

    reckon the pies might wanna revisit that mega  deal

    💯, their most recent test was last week and they failed miserably. Continuing to to beat up on weaker sides but crumble under real pressure, sounds a lot like Port.

    F k n hell “arms out 50 mate”?!

    As I said they’re paying this slight arms around the front rule and then randomly a 50. Just all over the shop.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
