    bedford playing thru the midfield has a little bit of shai bolton about him

    Unfortunately he can't kick like Shai Bolton. But seriously Bedford is nowhere near as polished as Bolton. Can't question his endeavour though.

    JVR has a lot of raw talent. He reminds me a lot of Jack Riewoldt. 
     

    He still needs time to develop though. Hopefully he gets a few games next year in the 1s but don’t expect miracles for at least another 1-2 years.

    Maybe I'm the world's worst judge but I think Weideman has been absolutely outstanding in this game. He has taken on two experienced campaigners in Ladhams and Sinclair and destroyed them. At ground level they haven't got near him. Must have a big tank as he has rucked throughout the day. This is his role. Back up ruck pinch hitting forward and back as required. Impressive.

    Can’t see T Mac playing Friday after this hit out. Been ok but needs another run

    Bedford’s pressure and tackling has been immense. Some pressure on Spargo I’d suggest. A few less fumbles I reckon he should in the firsts

    can only see him playing if we lose the QF against the Swans and need to change up the forward line again for a semi final...

    JVR has a real crack and looks good.

    FD must have been tempted to give him a game during the season.

    I’ve liked Sam’s game but Sinclair isn’t near afl standard, he’s well and truly ready to retire and has done a lot of the ruck work, and Ladhams isn’t very clever. Weid’s always been solid and clever at ground level as a follow up ruck.

    A back up ruck at afl level still has to play forward about 50% of time and make an impact. And they have to stand up in the ruck for 20-50% against actual afl rucks or back ups, who provide a sterner test aerially around the ground.

    Weid can do that role but whether he can do it consistently enough to hold his spot at afl level I’m not convinced .

    Strange team Casey

    50 point win but once again no one really starring in a pushing for selection sense

     

    I don’t really think we are hoping for blokes to push for selection at this stage. The seniors are settled. If there are injuries though, we have some depth. Guys that play our system.

    I think the Weid is playing ok

    Probably won’t please those with the ‘Weidicide’ agenda but Campbell Brown on 7 suggested with ‘Jacko’ apparently about to deecamp. A vacancy ‘may’ exist for a backup ruckman/forward. Given Weed has battled manfully against two AFL hardened opposition ruck men and performed competatively. Maybe there is a crack of light at the end of the tunnel.

    Performance just rated a ‘superb’ by CB

    Needs to impose a little more around the ground

    Rucking alone is not enough in the AFL

    It would be great if Sam could play 2nd Ruck next year. Big Job, but i would love him to pull it off

    Grundy is on too much coin and won’t play another 5 years

    • 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.
