Probably the most boring read of any game preview I've come across.  Up to page 12 and still not a word for next week’s game.  Their fans have all but given up on the season and now turning on a few of their players. 

  • Thank you Rory, you've been a wonderful player, but shouldn't be selected again
  • Changes??? I couldn't care less anymore.  The only changes I'm interested in are changes at the end of the year.
  • Continuity matters. Still mathematical finals chance. No change. 
    • That will absolutely loose me
  • Why bother even starting this thread.  when we know that sloane, sholl, murphy, mchenry are going absolutely fxxkn nowhere.  they wont be dropped. Not a fxxkn chance.
  • I would think so highly of Rory if he announced his retirement this week. Or that he didn't want to be picked, and will play 2s for the rest of this year. And maybe next.
  • I have no idea what they can do with Sloane. He's miles of it, but there seems to be some delusion about where he's at.
  • Powaa has no problem dropping their captain. Sloane isn't even captain and the club is scared of the reaction from the Facebook brigade. Fmd.
  • I can't wait for next February where we argue which spud deserves his spot in the best 22 only for the happy clappers to talk about what amazing depth we have.
  • We push Murphy from the forward line up to the stoppages because it's the only thing he's good at..  The other team doesn't care about him because of his poor skills so we gift them an extra in defence.
  • If Crouch or Himmelberg are playing on Sunday I'm not going

Poor Rory!!  Imagine if we had talked about Jonesy like that.  No respect being shown to Sloane.

I'll check back in a few days and hope they have something more interesting to say.

    I’m surprised they know any of their players names.

    Sloane has given his heart and soul to that club and has had some big personal off field tragedies to overcome at the same time. 

    To think his own supporters can talk about him like he’s yesterday’s trash is pathetic. 
    Then again, they don’t build them smart over in SA.

    Disappointed there wasn’t a post about how we’ll crush them or about how overrated we are.

    They don't even realise there is a game this week let alone who they will be playing!

    Good! Let them forfeit the game, we'll gladly take the 4 points plus rest our players 👍🏻

    Honestly it looks like Demonland pre 2021. And even sometimes since.

    But as much as I despise that club, I do feel for the fans... a bit. That club self destructed in a big self inflicted way, so I don't blame them for irrational anger.

    Maybe they should listen to the Melbourne theme song over and over again in preparation for the match?

    Sounds ridiculous but  I still rate the Crows. They run like scalded cats, have a decent midfield and sometimes an effective forward line. Sort of game where if we are slightly off we'll be licking our wounds. I reckon they are as good or better than the Don's, Freo and GWS and we know we fared against them...

    Doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

    A good team, who have genuine leg speed, quality across all lines, potent forward line as evidenced by their crazy good percentage, a strong sytem dialled to run and carry like the pies and buy in.

    They won't be as flat against us as  they have been for the last couple of games, and I expect them to be running on top of the ground on Sunday and present a real challenge.

    My expectation is they will attack, and look to run at as with handball chains and wave running a la the pies.

    If they can beat us or port next round, I think they’ll make the 8.

    I don't think they'll beat us, but I reckon they're a huge chance of beating Port, as Port will struggle defensively with  the crows speed of ball movement from the back half (as do we if not on).

    Crom are a good mid-table team. They're falling off as the year progresses but they looked really good in patches. Almost close to top 4 quality. Suspect we will (should) deal with them easily this week. But I rate them with GWS and Hawthorn as clubs I'm not generally worried about but am still kind of sort of worried about (see: Alice Springs game).

    Yes, Crows are all about meh meh meh - possibly because too many are of German descent and don't know how to spell ME. ( Hopefully, the same doesn't apply to you. You certainly don't look German...)

    Ahhhh ..glorious news....great way to start the day.

    I can confirm this. I was born in Adelaide and last night I was looking for my phone for a good 2 minutes while holding it.

    Agree, no such thing as an easy game for us for the rest of the season. Even North will be tricky, my understanding is that Clarkson resumes control when we play them.

    Hope we get a lot of supporters turning up this Sunday. Almost embarrassing at times the way Choco, Goody and even Petracca are almost begging for fans to turn up and make some noise 

    In the meantime…….One game at a time.

    • 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?
