Fourth quarter was so much better with the volume muted. Viney and Gawn the difference. Bowey and Sparrow had good games.

    Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

    He made Bristle Taylor sound competent

    We don't win well, and we don't win easily, but we find a way. 

    Some massive deficiencies to be sorted out in our midfield. Some other deficiencies to be worked out in our F50. 

    In the last 5 minutes Rivers, Viney and Brayshaw were immense.

    Levi the difference, far out.

    Suns probably deserved too! Our maturity shone where there's didn't. 

    And we definitely had more favourable umpiring decisions in total.

    Happy to get the four points, but this type of game won’t win us finals.

    Collingwood and Geelong will bend us over like Mr Big in prison.

    We’ll make the 8 no worries but that’s about it.

    Backline aren’t playing like 21, May out of form, still don’t know what we’re doing with out forward line.

    0 stars. We were absolutely putrid. No winners.

    Defense so so so much better when Petty was down there. 
     

    The combination of Turner in and Petty forward totally ruined the balance of the team.

    When Goodwin tries to get cute bad things tend to happen.

    And breathe.....

    Jesus. that was exhausting to watch. 

    Fair play to GC. We were a little bit off tonight but a couple of times a year they pull a game like this out of the box. Killed us at the contest and clearance for a lot of the night and got the ball forward quickly before we could set up. I honestly thought we were destined to cough this one up after Fritta missed a sitter and they went down the other end and scored. 

     Onwards and upwards.

    Bank the 4 points and look to next week. I'd love to say we won't play so poorly again, but we will given  that it's already happened a few times this season.

    We've all seen that movie a billion times over the years but thankfully McPherson didn't put the dagger in. Actually, even then it was set up for an after the siren free kick and goal. Glad that the footy gods are finally going easy on us. To be fair, the Suns probably deserved to win it.

    We won the flag in 2021 on the back of our defense. Not sure that's going to be the case this year. I'm certainly not writing a champion like May off after a couple of poor games, but he's 31, it's almost a bonus if he doesn't start to gradually decline from here. Lever hasn't recaptured his AA form and I think we need Petty to stay back. We seem to be conceding much higher scores this season but thankfully scoring more ourselves. 

    Like seriously, how is Malcolm Rosas putting 4 on us?

    Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.

    Two times we had 15seconds left in a quarter and gave them a look from a kick out. One of them they kicked a goal.

    Surely we can communicate how much time is left, find one short spot up kick and that ices 10 seconds and games over with a long kick down the boundary.

    FMD we need to find a key forward who can take the game by the scruff and impose himself. This is far from a premiership team atm

    It's a big concern, isn't it? The side doesn't look settled across any line, least of all the forward line.

    I hope Bbb can come back. Petty just doesn't really do and Jvr struggled.

    96 marks to our 66. 

    But our tackling was much better than theirs.

    Turner needs to stay in the reserves until he is physically ready. Petty needs to stay in the backline for the remainder of the year and our forward connection and centre work needs a complete overhaul.

    Not bad for a team currently on top of the ladder hey. FMD.

    No, but it will get us there. Was always going to be a tough game, and I will take any win from that. Again, we almost kicked 100 points, so even though the forward line needs work, we are still scoring. We will get better as the year goes on. No point playing your best footy now. As Goody always says, the season is a marathon, no point going too hard early

    • 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?

      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.
