@Deedubs Any more pearls of wisdom on how bad we are? I mean two games clear on top with fat percentage isn’t enough I reckon. Should be 12 games clear by now right? 

We haven't played anyone in the top 4 and only 2 of the top 8 teams. We have a very hard fixture coming home. 

I wouldn't have expected us to lose to WCE or North the last 2 weeks...so the last fortnight has taught us nothing other than we make every game a grind regardless of how bad the opponent is.

    Freo have 2 goals to half time. I can't see how they kick a winning score against us next week.

    You can only play who you are are fixtured against based on the results of the previous season, the bulldogs , essendon, richmond port adelaide and st kilda were all supposed to be contenders this year.

    Will do. But if we start dropping games against semi-decent teams regularly I'm going to keep people accountable for refusing to look at exposed form and sticking their head in the sand.

    We won by a combined 21 goals! Christ!

    There is nearly as much of a gap from us to second,  as there is from 2nd to 8th.  And people complain we aren't good enough 😒 😕 🙄

    It is strange times when you watch neutral games and find yourself barracking for the Hawks and the Pies. Am I in a parallel universe? I can't help it, but have the Solvol ready for ritual cleansing and a priest  for absolution.

    Last year showed that we clearly play better against top sides. We have played 2 sides currently in the 8 and beat them both comfortably. We also beat Hawks and GC who have given some top sides a real wake up call. 
    Bottom teams set themselves up to play us hard and it works for like a half. Top teams will play their own game, as the Saints did, and we will prove to be as good or better than them.

    Thank you for agreeing to give it a rest

    in the meantime we can deal with our exposed form of being 10-0

    You will be on the ignore button, so you can suit yourself. 
    I knew this year would be a grind. 
    This Club only learnt to win a Flag again last year, and now they are learning how to defend their achievements on the run, against 17 other opponents who all want to kill us

    So far we are 10-0

    i am proud of the boys 

    Right- Do you understand??

    now be quiet

    These are the gateway to barracking for Essendon. 🤮

    Yes, all of our unaccountability on this site is really going to have a big impact on our team’s performance.

    They are pretty much just being Freo… look the goods only to run out of puff mid season. I’m half expecting Brisbane to do the same.

    I'm not going to join the pile on of your view points...

    And, what's your take on Brisbane losing and thus their chances against us, as well as perhaps Freo, considering where the game is at currently.

    • 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?
