Perilously close to a 186 point loss. A couple of misses just now will put the kybosh on that

Enjoy while it lasts. Would you put money on them not winning a flag by 2029?

Its the Eagles . They' ll get loads of love from Dillon . Its how the corporate world works. Their supporters  will still turn up because they know.  Will Stkilda win a flag before them?

i would put my house on them not winning a flag by 2029. 

this isn’t just a tanking year. they have done major damage to their list. name their good players under 27yo

theyll get some good kids but all the senior guys leaving in the next couple years will hurt. they haven’t hit bottom yet

This has been coming for West Coast. I've been surprised their fanbase haven't mutinied already but surely today is the final straw. Simpson out for starters but the whole club is rotten, top to bottom. May they languish for the next decade.

Their list manager appointments have been atrocious:
2010 - Craig Vozzo
2014 - Adrian Battiston
2016 - Brady Rawlings
2019 - Darren Glass
2021 - Rohan O'Brien

In the last 10 years, 5 appointments. We have had 1 in that time

Oscar Allen, Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewitt off the top of my head.

And they belatedly appointed a fitness guy (very late in December last year) who had minimal experience and has been in charge of at least 15 soft tissue injuries this year

Though we have a strong percentage, most of our ladder position rivals still have games against WC. Cant take it for granted it gives us an edge over close rivals and we need to keep winning.

yep. very light on. Kelly probably under 27 still

most teams would have a couple of guns and a dozen good players under 27

What's the significance of 186? The biggest losing margin is still 190 point when we lost to Fitzroy at Waverley in 1979. 

Regarding Jayden Hunt, did any other clubs make him an offer?

One of the great things about a 23 game season is that we get to see WC get belted another 9 times.

AFL record

I would venture to say there has never been a lower % after 14 rounds ever

Still don’t understand why we got rid of Hunt. I feel so sorry for him having to live through this garbage. 

feel for him too. 

but we got rid of him as he couldn’t perform consistently or reliably. 

WC Premiership players: Duggan, Barrass, Yeo, Darling, Shuey, Sheed
Seasoned AFL players: Kelly, Gaff, Witherden, Hunt, Allen, Petrevski-Seaton, Petrucelle

It's a disgrace

Hi dice. As opposed to VFL/AFL combined?


I guess so. Let's just hope one team, one day, can wipe away both records in one foul swoop

St Kilda had a % of 39.1……….in the 1900 season 🤣

Would love it to be us over Geelong.

I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

  • 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?
