    Perry’s looking more comfortable this week and is strong overhead.

    Jordan is playing with confidence and has had some good run and carry plays.

    Viney is getting the attention usually reserved for Clarry and Trac.

    May and Lever very strong.

    Brown providing a strong option but needs to dig a litter deeper to cover stkilda’s defensive switch.

    Langdon running into some form.

    Melksham is dynamic and will hold his spot in the team.

    I didn't go tonight either. I go every week, pay $1000 in memberships, sort of didn't feel like paying more to go to to a concrete jungle and get home by midnight again.

    Yep same. Time slot is brutal. Especially living outside Melbs. Sometimes I do miss the all-Saturday arvo fixture.

    Not at the game.

    Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

    I would expect it's because running it down a wing with 50 handballs allows the opposition to flood into our forward 50 and clog it up so it rebounds out or we try and kick snaps in a congested forward line.

    We're switching but doing it very deep and slowly (Barry white style baby uhuh).

    Might want to take on the corridor a bit more aggressively.

    Not at the game either,. 😜

    Brayshaw an absolute butcher -  44% efficiency and turns it we in terrible spots -  some of it is just careless -  needs to lift intensity.

    Max and Kozzy a mile off.

    Even just a genuine effort would be more than what he’s done so far. Doesn’t look like he’s trying tonight.

    Do we have a nickname for Taj? (Where “Taj” could be akin to Steve for Steve Irwin - another Australian legend)

    I like WW2 (Woewodin 2)

    Selection of Spargo and Melksham has been much criticized. Both are doing far better than the much-vaunted Kozzie.  It's baffling and frustrating because we all know how dynamic Kozzie can be.

    He's had 1 touch tonight and had had a poor season to date

    But for whatever reason, we'd rather express our ire towards players who are in the thick of things and who are constantly under pressure with their disposals

    At least they are getting the damn ball and not hanging out the back ... spectating

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
