You're kidding right?  Sparrow has been fantastic since returning from his week suspension.  No way he misses.

Chandler, Spargo or Tomlinson are names off the top of my head that will miss before Sparrow does.

Spargo goes for mine. Never gives the first, easy option anymore. Always trying the cute / tricky one atm

    And guess what happened the last time there was an earthquake in Vic? Before the recent one a couple of weeks ago.

    We won the next 11 games and a flag. 🥳

    Can’t see Sparrow getting dropped.  Most pressure acts vs Freo and second most vs Carlton. I reckon his suspension cost us 4 points against Port. 

    Agree

    The Tribunal referenced other incidents in the JDG case.

    Yep change procedure again.

    Joke of a system.

    Not criticising Pickett, however he has had only 6 disposals in 2 of the last 3 games. Yeah, sure, he has the type of game that can cut you to ribbons, however it doesn’t happen that often. All I am saying is that if the finger is being pointed at Spargo, ANB and Chandler, then Pickett needs the heat on him as well.

    Quite often brings the most heat inside 50 though bobby.  Would be in our top 2 or 3 here since 2021 and sometimes leading the way.

    The coaches love this part about as much as the goals etc as they want dirrty rebounds / tumble punts out of 50.  Along with the repeat entries and likelihood of a few more turnovers in our foward half that doing so can bring.

    Not sure anyone else would bring a similar level of defensive stuff inside 50 coming from Casey at the mo.

    Swap it for a 'Decent' android and you will never have to ask about such things again!

    I hope that Kozzie feels the heat so much that he explodes on Monday and pulls of a trifecta.  
    a) Gets the mark of the year. 
    b) Kicks goal of the year. 
    c) Head buts the winning point.   
    Too much? I’ll settle for  just (c).

    Sorry to bear bad news everyone, but Clarry has an infected blister 😩

    https://twitter.com/melbournefc/status/1665988235028475904?cxt=HHwWgMDRzaLe454uAAAA 

    I had the same thing many years ago, a few weeks before I was about to run the London marathon. The GP said 'you can't run for a month now, there's major risks exercising with an infected blister'. I went to get a second opinion from Doc Reid, he said 'you're an [censored], of course you're running'

    So the option to reference (from both sides) is at the behest of the AFL Red?

    Even if the AFL decide this is so, are you saying the defence is then stymied and unable to invoke something like natural law (et al) in order to overide and reference other incidents as part of their case?

    So they knew what the public reaction was going to be. And circumvented it.

    So Hunter gets a week for standing still when an [censored] runs in to him with his head and no injury.JDG only gets 3 weeks for running and jumping into a kid wide open and concussed .I reallydont get it

    Don't want Sparrow making way, he's proved his worth in the last couple of weeks.

    • 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?
