X2. This is what I want to and get the same result as 1964.

    And we made 5 changes after winning the prelim. Mind you, 4 were injured.

    Smart move by Freo to stay on the East Coast until their finals end. 

    If they didn't and kept winning they would fly Perth-Melb-Perth-Syd-Perth-Melb over a two week period where they have just 6 or 7 day breaks between games. 

    Now they go Perth-Melb-Syd-Melb and stay here until they are knocked out.  Its a bit like the hub/fortress we created last year, reducing distractions.  While unlikely it could be galvanising enough to get through to the GF.

    Freo please please win. You won't have much support today & be booed by ferals but the majority of Victoria are willing you to win.

    Freo are really the only team I want to win it. I could just handle Brisbane beating geelong next week.

    Nothing would make me feel more to see Collingwood and geelong in a gf

    This game is breathless. The pies going for the jugular straight from the get go. They won't die wondering I'll give them that

    C'mon Freo

    Fremantle haven’t been that bad but find themselves down four goals already. Collingwood can really hurt you on turnover.

    The Pies speed on the ball is catching everyone out, but like our strength behind the ball last year it’s also the opportunity. I’d be very confident that by mid next year coaches have figured out Collingwood. Might be better to give up clearances and have more numbers back. Let them run themselves ragged and trust that their run and gun style will give you opportunities on the rebound.

    Why can’t Goodwin play an open Forward Line? It’s the best way to use The MCG

    The Filth are just running with the ball, it ain’t hard to work out

    With Tracc, Clarry and Viney in the middle I hust don’t understand why we always have a congested Fwd Line

    Collingwood have so many fast runners in their midfield and backline which we lack other than Langdon. And they play on so quickly which opens up so many options, I feel like we did that last year.

    Freo’s forward line is as dysfunctional as ours.

    Their inside 50 entires are just deplorable as ours.

    Collingwood are a team that plays the G beautifully.

    He's got a defensive mindset, kick to a packed pocket so there is less of a chance for opposition to hurt you with turnovers

    Which was mostly ineffective at The MCG all year. I am looking from outside. Inside the Club they live and breathe it, but i just don’t understand, particularly after TMac went down. Give Fritsch and Brown the Arc

    and the Filth get another one

    FREO are garbage and Brayshaw for a Brownlow favourite very very avg

    HTB is such a raffle, these finals 

    Too many pinged for incorrect disposal when the ball gets knocked out in the tackle.

    Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.

    • 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.
