What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

Biggest fan but let's be honest, he's a shadow of his former self. Since scoring back from 2 week suspension has been struggling. I like his fwd pressure but he's not really kicking goals and getting much use. Hopefully he proves me wrong tonight.

    How many clear centre bounce tap outs can we win but still not win the clearance?

    Goody will never drop him so it looks like he's playing without care or effort

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    Which one of those 6 wasn’t there?. The HTB decisions were all perfectly executed and duly rewarded.

    How can we change it? Bring more to the contest?

    Hit targets across the ground, stop binging it in.

    Our kicking - again, unpressured horrible errors leading to turnovers.

    Geelong half backs are slaughtering our half forwards. 

    The last 7 minutes looked better.

    Nothing much since his suspension.

    Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

    Is that whytheCats get paid marks for 5 meter kicks?

    Yeah he is gone for that. Has to be

    Should but won’t.

    Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

    Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

    But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 

    Rivers was soft in the marking contest and the player calling for the ball has an obligation to win the footy

    Rivers should have used his body to shield the ball

    You're the same bloke who argued against forwards playing in front?

    Signs are ominous 

    If Tracc, Brayshaw, etc Al keep turning the ball over under little pressure we are going to be very disappointed.

    All of them were there, reckon they missed one or two for them though

    Kozzie wandering around in no man's land most of the first quarter. A few others need to lift their game too.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
