We didn’t deserve to win, but we were good enough to get close.

    Port are being well coached this year. They have a few spuds that are playing decent, hard football.

    Very concerned about our record against top 8 teams.

    Didn’t deserve it.

    Terrible at clearances, terrible at getting the ground ball, terrible tackling (in the last quarter ANB actually stood flat-footed while he watched a Port Player gathered the ball and had to time to dispose of it before going in for the tackle) went to water under pressure.

    I said last week that good teams willl destroy us, we have been beating up on mediocre teams and got found out tonight.

    We need more speed in the side, Hunter hasn’t done anything for weeks.

    That boundary throw in at the end was comically bad but didn’t cost us the game.

    Definitely not blaming umpiring but there were some real howlers and non calls in that last 5 mins along with a pathetic throw in at 15 seconds left.

    Chocco needs to work on our ball handling skills. The amount of fumbling we do is ridiculous.

    First quarter was terrible but can’t be overly disappointed with the loss. Port are a good team and that was hostile territory. We did well to be in a winning position and they just go on top of us. Need to sort out these quarters where our mids seemingly go missing.

    Aside from half a quarter, we were a very poor, uninspiring team outclassed by a better team. 

    We came in soft beating up on bad teams and tonight were shown up by a contender. Another loss to a team in the 8. Not a good look. 

    Ah well we’ll always have 2021 😔

    Can’t expect to win games of footy with 15-20 minutes at this level, especially as we start playing better sides.

    I hope there are a few blokes feeling guilty for some appalling efforts.

    We lack a bit of appetite for the contest and have an air of arrogance about us at the moment.

    Not sure we are where we hope to be at this stage of the year, particularly from a gameplay and cohesion standpoint

    Would've been good to make Butters accountable after collecting 35,000 disposals in the first half? Rotate Hibberd, Riv and ANB off him. When a guy is completely off the chain he has to be stopped

    Pressure and clearance won the game/lost the game.  

    We expected too much from too few, with only some superhuman efforts getting us a whisker in front.

    Pressure is the way to beat Narrm.

    Very few winners tonight and way too many guys went missing.

    We played one great quarter and were flogged in 3. Questions will rightly be asked about our ability to beat other contenders.

    Disappointed, but we got what we deserved.

    Story same as our wins

    20/30 minute's doesn't cut it against top 8 sides

    We are making up the numbers this year. We aren’t anywhere near good enough for a flag. 

    Pathetic effort to play for 10mins of one quarter - we got what we deserved even with the shafting by the umpires.

    You look at our lineup on paper and just wonder how we can be so ordinary so often when coming up against the better teams.

    We seem to be smack bang in the middle of wasting the best group of MFC talent we may see in our lifetimes.

    Then again, maybe our guys are just a bit overrated.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
