Probably ribs after that spear tackle.

If that bloke doesn’t get weeks for that then the AFL has learnt nothing. Those are the kind of things parents see and think ‘I don’t want my kids playing that sport’.

    not winning as well as some teams against the bottom teams, we seem to be kicking a lot more points. is it that our players now think they have a bang at goal from anywhere, compared to the more team oriented style we have against top teams?

    Just a side comment. Just on half time Cam Moooney implied that (Zurhaar)? Got pushed into the fence intentionally. He clearly tripped and/or lost his balance and fell into it. Why say stuff like that? [censored].

    Lots of fumbling, handling errors and dropped marks. Frustrating. TMac, Kozzie and Fritsch looking good.

    Some unfortunate casual, carefree stuff from Petracca. Oliver is a star.

    We have also got some terrible free kicks given to to us - that 50m is a disgrace to our game. 

    Please, please, please do NOT play Dunstan again. I would rather see a young kid have a crack and make mistakes than a mature player show us what poor VFL football looks like.

    Goldy and Xerri doing a really good job nullifying Max. 

    North having a red hot go and finally showing what system they are trying to play. 

    I much prefer Doggas work at the ruck today. He can't be matched once the ball hits the deck.

    For me it's not that. We look like we're in minus 1st gear while North are having a real crack. The first goal we got where we actually had some nice team play was Kozzie's. We're junkyarding around, we need to raise our game 

    North is throwing everything they can at us. Good teams don't play to the opposition's tempo and style. We do what we do. North has more energy this week than any other game this year. I wonder why? 20 points flatters them. Even with their effort. We're currently 4-5 goals better despite seeming like they're "beating" us.

    You guys want to win 32 on the trot and have a perfect year? Smashing North is small beans compared to that so let's keep an eye on the big picture hey?

    Crude and Neanderthal x2

    North are trying to intimidate us physically. If Jack was in the side, he would not tolerate it, so who will step up and make a stand?

    I could be at the wrong game. I'm watching some team called 'Narrm' play.

    Correct. 
    I am just spewing that we will come out of this game with some significant injuries because Norf have nothing to lose and if May does what he wants to and breaks some skulls we will be down an AA full back for 2 months.

    People forget that this isn't the Murray league where spankings are common.  Winning at this level is never easy.  No matter what the ladder position

    True but Brisbane managed to do it a few weeks ago against nth

    North trying out the west coast game plan. Congest areas and try to hurt us. Then get the ball and all out attack no matter what. Makes for hard to watch football. We’re always going to get more frees when teams play this way against us.

    1. We miss Viney for his mental toughness and driving standards

    2. Dunstan has always been a poor kick, why are people surprised?

    Its his decision making and handballs so far ...gets to where the ball is and gathers but i reckon he's missed about 70% of all handballs so far.  And he's had a few.  Decision making a bit slow for this level as well....drawing pressure on everyone including himself.

    Improved a tad towards the end of the second quarter.

    Some player's conversion rates leave alot to be desired.  About half of them were relatively easy and should've gone through

    Exactly, we're allowed to be slightly aggrieved at things like this without being branded pessimistic jerks.

    • 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.
