Cannot see enough of Zorko, Berry and McCarthy right now.

Berry just like Ugle-Hagen played out of there skin against us & will probably never replicate there performances

We would have given the Cats a much better match.
 

Simply … We threw it away this year. 

Poorly managed back half

 

So Cats now only negative 12 cumulative points for consecutive PFs.

Yep, I blame our dismal second half of the year squarely on the coaches.

Sadly yes.  Hope we learn from it - and replenish our list, and even our senior team from who we have already at Casey.  And learn to manage a whole season. 

 

Well Geelong in a Grand Final is bad enough so lets hope the swans do the job on the filth tmmrw. A Geelong and filth granny would be too much to bear.


Geelong are this year’s Melbourne - they were so p!ssed off at being humiliated twice by us last year, that they resolved to do better.

A year ago we were celebrating, what a difference a year makes. 

I stopped watching during the final quarter. I went back to watching coverage of the Queen & seeing David Beckham stand in that queue.

Dislike both teams, but the qualifying final was an awesome game, wouldn't mind watching them go head to head again. 

 

Tonight just shows how bad we were last week. 

Brisbane were out of place tonight. Should not have been playing a prelim, and would not have had we done our job last week. 


I reckon Collingwood can get it done this year. 
There’s just something about them…

Beat Sydney and I’m all in.

Hopefully Goody at least watches that SF debacle, unlike refusing to in 2018. Plenty of learnings to be had.

 Abit of magic about their season.

A little yes but i reckon they prepped for this after the 2020 loss to the Tiges.

Injected some run into the team.  And also got Cameron courtesy of the AFL.

Mind you the same thing helped the Tigers get their back to back with Lynch coming across to a premiership team lol.

The AFL are lead by a shameless bunch of incestuous boys' club tossers.

The AFL should paint a line on the ground.  Then umps wouldn’t have to shout back to the nine which is messy especially if the player plays on. No shouting. Penalise a player who doesn’t immediately head back to the line. 

Yes makes sense Sue.  Good idea

An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

I hope this prelim stings the players.

... And even Richmond would've put up a better performance than that. Embarrassing end to our season to let this mob into a prelim.

You're in fine form tonight, IRW

Entertaining commentary!

 

And the winner is....BT!!!!

Dangerfield is such a [censored]

I wish he had been a Demon  [censored]

He could have taught Trac how hit a leading forward on the chest or kick a goal from straight in front

 

As much as I dislike Scott and his smugness his tactical brilliance is to be admired.

Like Longmire he has a clear plan for the opps playmakers while backing in his system.  For them it isn't either/or.  They do both.  Successfully.

Geelong didn't tag Neale.  Scott said before the game they knew he would get the ball but try to control where he got the ball and they would have several players for him.  At half time Jimmy Bartel said Geelong let Neale get the ball when he was facing the wrong way.

They shut Neale out by having Atkins on him at stoppages, someone to close his space and stay goal side of him.  He was picked up by whoever was closest to him.  The latter is how they played Oliver.

If Sydney win today, Longmire vs Scott will be a fascinating GF to watch.

Every Cats fan I know was happy we lost last week as they were [censored] themselves at the prospect of losing to us in a prelim again. Funny how that was how it turned out. Almost sounds planned. #dangerflag

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
