I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

UNLEASH JACK!

    I believe it’s just one of their primitive habits. They’d otherwise pick their teeth, but for that you need more than one.

    Melksham had surgery on his hand re fight so he's out. We can't go in with tomlinson Petty and lever and no other tall if one goes down. If we're going short in the forward line then that's fine but who will go back if Petty struggles or doesn't come up? Hibbard is a completely different player imv. Great on a mid sized forward but wouldnt cope with a tall. Turner would have to be in for a chance. I've only seen him play once but he looked good. Was intercepting really well in vfl. Depends how the pies line up I guess.

    Interesting that Max in his press conference dropped the name Daniel Turner. Early selection news perhaps

    If Petty doesn't get up - almost a lock I'd say

    Just bought some GA tickets for QB.


    10 minutes later I got an email saying QB is a replacement game and memberships get us in!

    Well, that isn't very exciting🙄.

    he looked ok in the vfl last week. Kicking looked to have improved

     

    I'd like our midfield to stop wrestling with their opponents and focus on getting the pill

    One of the things that we haven't tried/reverted to and I really question as to why.. Kozzie applies great pressure in the forward line and when we're getting beaten around the ball, how come we haven't put him there?

    Hopefully what you've said is true and we see him in there.

    Sportsbet ... filth odds were $4.00, dropped to $3.50 now $2.79. I think it will shorten further as their supporters put money in.

    I got on the filth at $4. Ridiculous odds.

    I think the match committee should consider playing Mitch Brown as a KPD.

    Was more than serviceable as a defender during his time at Essendon, in particular during the replacement player period.

    If Petty doesn't get up, I'd be putting Mitch Brown as a KPD and Weideman to come in as 2nd KPF.

    Turner isn't ready IMO.

    I was thinking the same thing, though I don’t know enough about Turner. Throwing a debutant into a Queens Birthday clash is fraught with danger, particularly given our history.

    Have you watched any Casey games? Turner has actually marked the ball and spoiled as well if not better than Tomlinson imo

    Is he ready for a QB debut ? - big call and you would need to be sure there is a fair match up for him - but he is closer to being ready than most give him credit for

    Good point but Turner is way ahead of where young JW was if you ask me

    • 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.
