Some holes appearing in the Swans game. Really struggling to score, and too easy for opposition to rebound out of their forward 50. They need a couple of small defensive forwards to help keep the ball down their end.

I think Casboult has been outstanding for the Suns. His kicking might still not be great, but he keeps on presenting and is such a good mark.

Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

That's fixable though, Brisbane were in the same boat not so long ago, winning games really helps with retention. 

I would imagine the AFL will move heaven and earth to get Clarko to the Suns, if he can convince a couple of quality veterans to go there and retain their out of contract kids, i'd nearly back them to push for finals in 2023 

 

Nice touch for the players to acknowledge the eight supporters that travelled down from Surfers. 

 

That is a very good win by the suns. 

Now we just have to win tomorrow and we will be 3 games clear ahead of sydney. 

Collingwood fall out of the 8 

Now just need the hawks to put more misery on the bummers and it will be a good day. 


I’m stuck on two lines of thought right now. 
 

Tigers 2018 preliminary loss.

Barring major injuries were playing in another GF.

 

Drinking game for anyone interested- take a sip of beer every time Brad Johnson says ‘hit the Logos’ or laughs about nothing

gonna be a long arvo!

Swans  having a forward line revolving around Franklin is starting to look like a mill stone around their neck.

Isaac Rankine taunting an opponent as he got a free kick at defensive 50, what a stupid [censored]. Try running both ways for a change you over hyped nobody!

 

Agree 110%

You cant count a Bloke walking his dog past the ground that stops to sniff a post as part of the crowd Rab!


Pruess only played 22 games. Good to see him play solid footy. Looks like a 100 gamer already

One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts? 

All our taller forwards can mark and kick but their leading patterns are all [censored] about at the moment. 
Keeping something up our sleeves for finals?🙄

Dew was a long time assistant at Sydney.  Probably proves that Longmire hasn't changed much over the years since Dew left.

Giants just not working hard enough. Whitfield with 7 touches? Create run and overlap and they should win easily.

I excluded him from my head count Picket. Incidentally his dog has a coterie membership at Hawthorn.

Yeh i agree they looked better earlier in the season taking multiple avenues to goal.   Become a bit predictable when Buddy's in.

That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

Why don't the commentators call it?

MRP peer pressure

Wow.... Ward literally looked like he got shot there and the ump still fell for it haha

 

Aside from the form of Cameron i don't really see much change in either team vs last season's general output 🤷‍♂️

Danger starting to look his age.
32 and 290 games taking its toll. Still a gun but lost some explosiveness

  • 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?
