Hoping for a lift from Chandler, he was kicking some rippers earlier on, c'mon Kade hit the goals with some X factor. 

I feel the same about Kossie. Given it his "special outing" in the Alice next week, tonight wouldn't be a bad time to turn it on and create some consistency. 

Tracc to keep going, I can see him frequently breaking the lines. 

Over handballing and balls to players under pressure have been a problem. Hoping for some smart footy and not getting lost for space on those shallow wings.

Go Dees.

    Hawkins is actually a really really nice down to earth guy off the field. He's spent a lot of his own time with a friend's kid in the last two years who was battling aggressive cancer, and is a mad Geelong supporter.

    But for some reason, when he plays football, he is just the worst. Maybe it's the stuff he gets away with, the blatant holding and pushing, the 'accidental' elbows, and the greasy limbs that do my head in. 

    Yea your right, I've heard some of the good things he does. I guess  he just plays the game hard. I don't like his wayward elbows but I think he is a very good footballer. Even at his age I wouldn't mind having him our team.

    Windy Hills urinal circumnavigated the oval ;)

    If youd been there, you'd know

    Does that mean it was the oval?

    It takes a special type of moron to schedule a game in Geelong on the night of the winter solstice when the MCG is vacant until Sunday. 

    Just play it in Siberia and call it a day.

    Just reinforces how deeply the AFL (and related Corporate Elites / benefactors) are in bed with the Cats.

    Some serious $$ and conflicts of interest happening with decision making.

    Even more so than the regular AFL tripe/bias they dish up.

    Watching and supporting this sport feels like we have to spend time with these morons week in and week out. 

    If these people were acquaintances or friends of friends, I wouldn't be spending time with them or returning their calls.

    Fingers crossed the Demons win tonight! 🤞

    Adam Tomlinson stiff to be dropped.

    It will be a very hostile crowd down at the Cattery.

    But let's hope we can get over the line by a few points.

    GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    Was it Windy Hill or Princes Park that was reputed to have the longest public urinal in the world i'd seen it but cant remember  which ground.  I recall some footy diehards being upset when it was dismantled. Where would you put it  ffs?  In a museum?

    the whole of windy hill was just one big urinal

    most punters didn't bother going to the toilet sheds ... unless they were good swimmers

    Tell me about it. I’ve been at work since 8 and I am so done.

    I have, actually. Once you get past the changing dirty nappies phase It seems it’s smooth sailing for the rest of the journey! That is, if you lay the right foundations. 😉 I have three beautiful sons who have been nothing but an absolute joy to raise. I’m ridiculously proud of the men they’ve become. I manufacture great humans, even if I do say so myself. 😁

    just a crying shame none of them like footy 😭

    Oh come on now tell me it rains lemonade.Sounds like a yanky sitcom of MY THREE SONS.You have a perfect life and get to support the DEES.

    Good morning DemonWorld........and what a fine morning it it’s in my part of the world....

    woke up this morning (always a good way to start the day given my age), have showered, shaved and done the other thing. Had a healthy breakfast and just now sipping coffee and savouring the prospect of a great win in the offing.

    We will declaw the cats in t’the third after spending the first quarter seeing what they bring to the table and then upping our pressure to take the game away from them and leave their season in a smouldering heap of ashes.

    so, as you see, I am feeling confident.

    Damn! It’s good to be alive and a Demon supporter.

    Dees to win.

    Well, it is Geelong's home game (why we usually play Geelong only once and it's always their home game is a question worth asking), so if it was at the MCG we'd have to give up another home game & Geelong would have to get one somewhere else. 

    Not sure what the solstice has to do with anything. The last time the Geelong sunset was before 7:20 was 31/3 and that was only because of daylight saving!

    I really meant between the goals, not "hit the goals".😂l

    Agree with you, he was getting closer. Hope it doesn't turn into the yips.

    • 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?
