Dangerfield playing 2 good games in a row. 
Geelong has had sensational luck this season. Coupled with a dream draw, good player management and a killer forwardline. 
It was theirs to lose for about 10 weeks now and they don’t seem to want to choke again. 

They need to get a significantly harder draw next year. This year their draw was a joke for a team that finished 3rd last season. It was only ranked as the 8th hardest draw as the season began, and only got easier as some sides dropped off.

It was definitely their season.

Geelong would want a couple more goals to be comfortable.

Please, no more…

Swans must kick 2 in a row

This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

They did that in round 23, 2021.

Dees we need to take notice of how to manage players and be fit heading into finals!

And not just within a season.  Tracc on 360 alluded to us going even harder this pre-season vs 2021's pre-season.

Sounds like we may have also gone too hard too early.

Yep, ridiculously soft draw in the lead up to finals. Pair that with the bye week, another week off before the prelim, then a soft kill for the prelim itself, it's no surprise they've got plenty of fuel in the tank.

Didn't expect Sydney to be this bad though.

Frankenstein absolutely useless.  I guess the new contract will satisfy him?

Swans fired their shots and didn't get the in roads they needed. Anything can happen but give me the blue and white side of proceedings any day.

....were they 44 points up?!!

Just trying to jinx them. will never forget the 44 point game.

That was not a grand final and Sydney are not Melbourne 2021. 


With a good injury run we are winning it next year.

Swans no where near it, Collingwood won’t have a nother miracle season and Geelong wonmt have another pissweak draw like this year and alot of players will retire.

How funny would it be if the cats choked from here. I’m willing it to happen.

Be the kind of loss you never come back from.

They will but I’ll bet my house they find a way to make it easier than ours. They will probably play a majority of the top 8 games at GMHBA and their away games to the bottom 4.

3/3 last games will be in VIC (MCG away games + GMHBA home games).

So Reid gone already?  Why did they play him.... too risky

I’d much rather watch something like this right now…

 

Absolute deluge of rain in BKK is forcing me to watch more of this Horror Show

I cannot believe that i wish the Filth had won last week, but this has been awful 

Ahh well another Jamieson’s on the rocks….  :)

You mean play most of the top eight teams at GMHBA CYB?

Anyone thinking we would be down this much if we were plying are kidding themselves. Even with how banged up we are.

Sydney are way before their time..

We wouldn't, as reigning premiers we would show some pride and fighting spirit at the very least. Clayton Oliver by himself would trump over Paddy "Throws" Dangerfield.

We took a risk with May last year and it paid off. Sometimes you gotta take a punt on your most important players.

Yes ive never rated their mid field mix aside from Parker.

Still has me flummoxed how they beat us....twice!

Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect.

  • 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.
