    Out of the 3 tall forwards for both sides, he was the only one to kick a goal. Iā€™m not saying he played a good game obviously, but I donā€™t think BB would have done much in those conditions.

    I actually thought Sparrow was avg at best. Maybe I hold him in high regards that what he produced Ā tonight (and last few weeks tbh) have been under what I expect from him.

    Lots of room for Weids to improve obviously but his key role would for him not to be out marked and he ticked that box. Ā Similar story to ANBā€™s role which was to reduce the impact of Jordan Clark which he also achieved. Ā

    So we had all the above see time in the backline (Langdon quite often drifts back as a link player around half back - to good effect)

    Brayshaw also helped out down back when needed.Ā  In soccer terms he'd be described as a defensive midfielder tonight but he did gain a lot of metres for the team (with well placed kicks)Ā 

    Hunt got amongst it even though his disposal was a bit iffy ... did enough to stay in the side (Harmes will come back though)

    Still reckon Hunt is at his best when he gets the chance to work in conjunction with Langdon - happened a few times tonight.Ā  That duel pace attack would worry the opposition

    Freo scored 5.9 so the backmen should be given a lot of credit (which is what you've done) Ā

    I think if you watch the replay you'll see he often plays a link role - sometimes just a touch or tap on that doesn't count as a stat. Must cover a few km also.

    As I said, I really like Sparrow so Iā€™m prob unfairly expecting more off him.

    Ham, itā€™s an opinion. Itā€™s a great talking point and starts good discussion. If you donā€™t like it put your opinion here. If itā€™s abusive most will dismiss it. If itā€™s intelligent most will respect it.Ā

    • 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 Fullartonā€™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 Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™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 wasnā€™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 teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā 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.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ 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 theyā€™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 ā€˜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. Sundayā€™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?
