Sydney breaking our tackles too easy.

    Trac is struggling with the quad. 
    They have done a great job tagging and illegally blocking Oliver. Love how the umpires turn a blind eye when it’s Clarry. He will never win the Brownlow the way the umpires hate him.

    The Swan talls are double teaming Maxy much of the time and starting to win the aerial battle.

    Get BB playing higher up the ground a little more often to help out.

    Instruct the smalls and the mediums around the drop to stay out, crumb, feed and run it back in to a more open forward line with Fritta, Melk & Kozzie lurking.

    A lot of basic skill errors, we should used to this pressure footy.

    Jesus christ where is Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Kozzie and Melksham?

    All senior players that have gone MIA.

    Brayshaw looks completely cooked with that knee bandaged

    Play the man and you give the opposition extra fire.

    I remember in the GF when the little bloke from the Bulldogs stood over Max - not long after that, the game changed

    -8 in clearances. Not getting much drive out of the stoppage.

    Gonna be a grind. Sydney's fierce attack at the footy is what keeps it rolling their way. Need our mids to lift at the drop of the ball

    Where moving the ball to slowly and getting smacked in clearances. Midfield need to lift big time.

    The swans at 2.57 (out to 2.75 pre game) was outrrrrrrrreageous value

    Even if we win (big if at current rate) still outrageous 

    swans can win it all this year 

    Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

    and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

    May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

    Franklin gets a tap in the back & goes down like he was shot. May just needs to keep his cool in the 2nd half & not get sucked in. Umpiring pathetic. Someone needs to clean up that [censored] Papley too.

    We lost our momentum with the double 50. No need for may to lose his cool. We were on top. 
     

    50/50 game. Swans hard at it around the ball. They’re a tough outfit. 

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach.

    Max and Jackson have gone missing.

    Incredibly disappointing performance from both so far.

    May started the momentum swing with utter stupidity 

    He was stupid 

    I count 3 goals for Sydney directly caused by bad decisions, Lever not handballing out to team mate boundary side, turns back into traffic, ball spills Hayward kicks the opener. May getting sucked in by Buddy off the ball 50 m and goal. And Max trying to chip a 20m ball to Ed surrounded by 4 swans opponents. Dumb footy like this is the only thing that stops us winning this.

    • 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.
