The backline looks better balanced this weekend, and the midfield slightly stronger as well. 

But imagine being an AFL coach and thinking that you can challenge for a premiership with a forward line consisting of Gawn, Van Rooyen and Smith as the marking targets. The lack of forward craft in those three is astounding, although clearly Van Rooyen will be a good player in time with more strength and experience. 

And then you have Chandler and Spargo contributing stuff all between them at the moment.

 

Oh hell I think I will go to bed and pull the doona over my head poita. Can you come get me about 11.00 pm.

    Just realised you clearly know the song since you just quoted a line from it. Or was that a coincidence?

    FireInTheBennelly is one of the few others like yourself who gets my music references on here WCW 😄

    I'll be at the match with my 2 beautiful daughters (younger one down from Sydney) ... and before the match at a function at the G. They are both Demons, of course.

    Hopefully the team does the right thing to make it a truly memorable night. But sadly I haven't been vaccinated for MFCSS.

    There's no vaccination for MFCSS. There was a theory that having 7 All Australians and a team that spends most of it's time in the top four would trigger a natural response from the immune system. Unfortunatey it has proven to only make the complaint worse.

    Great song, but that lyric's from "Frontier Psychiatrist" (both songs on their debut album).

    Not at all in fact it's time to kill a coach other than our own.

    Good luck. 

    I think my vibes will at least get him one goal. 


    Paddy Dow is expected to get a chance to prove himself on the big stage tonight when Carlton face Melbourne at the MCG. Going to be Sub or so the report goes.

    Perhaps Red was referring to the album title. (?)

    Cannot believe all of the people writing us off because of our forward line. It's been like that all year tbh. 

     When we've kicked big scores we get an even spread of goal kickers and I think the addition of Smith is going to give us a Petty like contest. Hoping for a return to form for Chandler and Pickett.

    I’m a fan of the Joel Smith inclusion and he will have a point to prove tonight. Dees by plenty 

    I am a fan of his as well; possibly sentimentally given that mark taken by his father (and the late-career efforts he made for the Dees ((in strife at the time:)) For those who like Joel being given a place in the team, let's hope he breaks free and has a ripper night on the field.

    KALI MAAA!

    Is it just me or does it feel like forever since our last win?! It’s been three weeks, feels like three years.

    Anyways, huge news for anyone who knows the second love of my life (after the Dees of course. Soz sons, should’ve got into footy)… my chooks. This morning-

    MELKSY LAID AN EGG!!!!

    This is the first egg laid since we tragically lost our last brood to a fox who clearly didn’t get the memo about being nocturnal.

    This would DEFINITELY be a good omen since Melksy played superbly last time vs Carlton. It’s a shame he’s this week’s mandatory Melbourne suspended player. 😭

    I really wish you hadn't posted that my MFCSS is over the top already.


    Jordan dropped again?  Getting beyond the joke with this kid. I'd leave too if I was getting this sort of treatment.

    • 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?
