Not a lot  so far; probably because the game isn't until Monday.

From Various fan websites:

  • Druggos showing how to beat Melbourne is to tag Oliver…Nothing surer than Oliver running around by himself collecting 40 next week
  • Just what we need, an angry, fired up Melbourne on the rebound...
  • I'd like to think that we will also be angry and fired up after last night's insipid effort.
  • We will tag ben Brown and he'll kick 7
  • Don't worry Dees supporters. We'll play you into form next round.
  • Oliver had 41 lol…
    • Hahaha I saw that, couldn’t believe it.  Must’ve been 41 of the most useless posies eve
    • All rubbish. Threw it about 5 times too not called
  • Got to realize we are in a sneaky rebuild mode whilst bluffing our way to this year's Finals...
  • See which side Max is going and tell Miller to b-line it to the other side, no way Max keeps up with Miller.  Can't let him sit behind play, have to play him smart or physical.
  • I don't wanna see at half time they're 40 points up and Prestia, Hopper and Taranto have been smashed in clearances, whilst Oliver and Petracca have already racked up 25 possies and 5 clearances each. Put some body work on them and make them bloody earn their kicks.
  • Our backline is miles away from our best lineup but realistically their fwd's are pus. Young/ Van Rooyen is a good matchup. Grimes/ Fritch should work.
  • I’d take a Ben Brown right now as much as I hate saying that
  • whatever Dimma comes up with will need to be a master stroke.
  • We’ve never matched up well on the cheese platters in recent times.
    • In: Effort
    • Out: Turnovers
  • Our biggest issue is if Fists of Fury Lever plays. With no Lynch and our bombs inside 50, Lever will think he is at a Las Vegas buffet racking up intercept marks.
  • I will refrain on commenting on Richmond’s odds of winning this game until the umpires are named
  • Demons supporters don’t go to any games do they?
    • The corrupt AFL are yet to relocate the MCG, slab by slab, to Mt Buller. So no.
  • Honestly don’t understand why more Melbourne fans don’t follow suit of Max Gawn their captain and be Richmond supporters
  • Dees to play a bunch of players out of position. For instance Jake Melksham on the field.
    • Haha yeah I was happy with it. He'll prob have 5 touches and kick 3 goals now.
  • We were rubbish even before nankervis, lynch, Broad and Graham got injured.

Not Favourite

This made me laugh for its ignorance of Dimmer being a thug: 

  • No probs with playing on the edge but Dimma never condoned poor discipline

This made me angry:

  • tell Miller to sit in behind Max all game and jump into his back as often as he can.

    "Oliver threw it 5 times not called"

    Even if he does get a few flicks each game it's negated by the 5 holds on him that don't get called.

    The targeting of Max Gawn's back/head is never going to stop until the club goes to the AFL with video evidence and demands a response from the league and the umpires.

    When Gawn starts getting soft frees every time someone touches him, then clubs will stop targeting him illegally. But while they can get away with it, they'll keep doing it because he is such a brilliant and important player.

    Once again, thanks for trawling through the muck to bring us this. 💕

    I’ll be fraternising with about 20 Toiges tonight. Because it’s a shared banner, they’re coming to ours to join in the making of it. I’m wondering if any of them made any of the comments you’ve listed. Maybe I’ll climb to the top of the giant ladder and yell out, “I sure hope FISTS OF FURY LEVER is playing this Monday!” Then I’ll look for someone flinching. 😄

    Makes more sense, 'the field' is his wrong position. Very typical Tiges fan comment.

    I read as being on the field (regardless of position ) was considered out of position. Pretty consistent with most of DLs views tbh.

     

    edit: ok I see we eventually came to the same conclusion:)

    Back in the day...... when dogs would target your team mate you simply waited for the next opportunity to run through the maggot  ( oppo player and not the white varietal lol ). As you lent down to offer him assistance up... you'd whisper sweetly for his edification ;) .. " next time you're not getting up "

    Sort of miss those days...  Umpiring is useless. They must see it...do nothing.

    And then wonder about the lack of respect given.  I don't.   2 way street...  Earn the respect of the players... not demand it...  that's the weak way.

    This day and age..    it does need to be brought to the attention of those that oversee. The Club has a duty of care...

    Also...just needs to get angrier towards the inept custodianship of the game.

    Time to remind the league ....it's  OUR game you're messing with. Don't trash it.

    Right....

    Do you even know what I was referring too? Or have you gone way too early on this again.

    Read some of their comments again. Example A:

    • Just what we need, an angry, fired up Melbourne on the rebound..

    We usually rebound well after a bad loss. Are they wrong here?

    • See which side Max is going and tell Miller to b-line it to the other side, no way Max keeps up with Miller.  Can't let him sit behind play, have to play him smart or physical.

    Again, they're not wrong once again.. their ruckman will need all the luck they get trying to combat Max and Brodie.

    • Our backline is miles away from our best lineup but realistically their fwd's are pus. Young/ Van Rooyen is a good matchup. Grimes/ Fritch should work.

    Yep, pretty much agree with them once again. Their backline is a shambles.

    I'm happy to keep pointing them out for you?

    • 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?
