Lots of Freo supporters don't want Fyfe back and hopes he leaves. They have success without him with the rising kids, they dont see how he fits in anymore.

Ungrateful lot. Fyfe put his body on the line every time he played for them. Only reason they were worth watching for a long time. An absolute brute. And won a brownlow. Stuck with them when he could easily have left.

Dogga beware

    That Geelong final in 2018 is still one of my all time fav games. Jetta was unbelievable, smashed Selwood in that tackle and when Selwood gave away that 50.

    coming of age game for us

    looks to be cold, dry, no wind.....probably similar to recent carlton and fllth game nights

    I reckon you are on the money.  On the app I use it suggests that there will only be  a few showers very early Friday morning.  
    Even the BOM app says the same this time round (it indicated that there was going to be showers for the Carlton and filth games - BOM got it wrong) Perfect football weather coming up.

    So for all demon supporters who suffer from ombrophobia ( fear of rain), you have no excuse, fill the G and be very loud! LET’S GO DEES.

    Thanks mate. Maybe the Friday night estimates are a bit low then?

    In the last couple of days I’ve heard up to 84k expected. That would be unreal if we get close to that Uncle, I’m sure all of us would want the G to shake again like it did after Hannan’s goal in the 2018 EF.

    Yep DZ , that was one many great moments in that game.

    From my perspective it was sort of surreal. We clearly had their measure and there was this sense of it being a dream almost. 

    Amazing memories.

    Hannan's goal was fantastic for sure. My abiding memory is Melksham from the Hawks game turning on the 50 metre arc and drilling a goal straight and true. We were under the cosh as well so badly needed at the time. Epic goal

    Interesting changes for tomorrow night.  Edwards dropped and a debutant for the Lions!

    • IN Darcy Wilmot, Deven Robertson
    • OUT Cam Rayner (Suspension),Jarryd Lyons (Injured),Noah Answerth (Suspension)
    • In Dustin Martin
    • OUT Jason Castagna (Medi-Sub),Shane Edwards (Omitted)

    Mitch Robinson is stiff!  and Lyons is a big out

    Fagan seems to be very dark on Robinson, I always thought it was against Melbourne he had his papers stamped.

    Brisbane can score quickly when they get a run on, they have a potent forward line, but rely on confidence. Start missing the gettable ones and they may be in trouble. 

    For the Tigers, it will be about scoring conversion efficiency after getting it in the 50.

    When I've watched the Tiger's I get a feeling that some of there players aren't quite ready for AFL.

    If Brisbane can absorb the pressure and hang in there when the Tiges are trying to force turnovers, they should win, unless the Tiges conterpunch well, after turnovers.

    It's unlikely that Brisbane play a bad second half, which is what I've seen them do lately, due to it being a winner take all final. If Brissy get a good lead they will be hard to chase down.

    Maybe against the Ashburton Towies. Scored an average of two goals a quarter against us. When Glenn Frey hits town and starts playing, they are in the Seaton Street kindy.

    I hate Ross Lyon ... he hates the Dees.

    P.S. It's not the only reason I hate him.

    Only one way to make King and Lyon look like idiots…

    Completely agree. Won 2 brownlows! But since 2019 hasn’t been the same 

    Was one of favourite non demons players. Such a beast

    Hipwood, Daniher, Cameron aren't too bad.

    Brissy are known as a scoring team, not so much for their defense.

    Taking it easy.

    Um . . . sorry mrtwister. Just checking. You mean the club that plays poor drawing, weak sides, eight times a year on a pocket handkerchief shaped like a triangle, effectively gifting them 32 premiership points, is being hard done by? The current draw is virtually a handicapper event with Jeelong deemed to be on one leg with a blindfold on. 

    That's correct QD. I think if the AFL could change the rules they'd somehow create a draw on Saturday arvo and let both these sheltered teams go through.

    Swans win, with a single point in a mash of unknown stat's taken over the last 6 weeks when they have played 2 teams inside the 8.

    And he says it with a straight face somehow

    He can do wonders, the Melk. With his form returning, he may well do some stuff to our opponents. In many ways, I see him as a mini-Franklin, surprisingly potent, at times.

    The *North Melb cheer squad will be there for their girls tomorrow and then they’re gonna stay on after the AFLW game to barrack for our boys! 🥳
     

    *North will have a banner for their girls to run through tomorrow, which is awesome since it’s not something every club does. Only one club makes a banner for their AFLW team every single week and can you guess which club that is? Yep… Geelong! JK. (They don’t even make a banner for their men’s side apart from milestones.)

    Yeah, it’s us. Every match, AFL & AFLW. Yet another reason to love our Club. Like you needed another one, amirite?! ❤️💙

    That shook the G that night and another classic example of what Melksham was capable of. Man he has some crucial moments in 2018 that helped us.

    • 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?
