    Miraculously only 4 points down at half time.

    I hope Goody peels the paint off the walls at half time. 

    Don’t think goody has it in him. Need a good old fashioned spray. Hope choco has a crack at em

    Well we couldn't have played much worse, particularly in that first quarter, and we're only 4 points down.

    Pressure still nowhere near the standard it needs to be and the amount of fumbles is concerning. Is it wet down there?

    I've respected the way Harmes has fought to carve out a career but his time is up for us. Soem players need to figure out they're playing for a spot in our best 22 come finals. Oliver and Fritsch are automatic ins.

    We don’t have the killer mongrel instinct in us . Goody and gawn leadership culture doesn’t give us the killer instinct 

    If ever a gameday thread was appropriately negative it's this one. Blimey what an awful first quarter and a half.

    Good response after a horrible start.

    I'm sure Goody will regroup them at half time and just tell them to get back to playing the way we know.

    I expect us to come out this 3rd quarter and dominate

    He sprayed Gawn at half time last week. He absolutely has it in him. Did you not watch him as a player?

    Umpiring is embarrassing.  I’ve watched more footy this weekend than I have for a while and I had actually begun to hope the umpiring had turned the corner.  That was an illusion obviously.

    It's been shocking all weekend.  Someone got the ball blatantly knocked out of his hands yesterday too and again no 50 to be seen.  Really poor.

    Quite a few look a long way off it today. Kozi , Max, Chin , Viney keeping us in it. Geez Harmes looks a shadow of himself tho… it’s sad to see him like this. I think this is the last we’ll see of him. 

    Agree. But I thought that last week, and here he is!!!

    Which team does? We beat North by 90 earlier in the year. Did we lose our "killer instinct" between then and now?

    This has mostly been an issue with our bottom 8-10 players absolutely not showing up, and that's on them to fix.

    Hahahaha, I find I can remain calm in these games until the last quarter. If they get 30 up with 10 to play I’ll throw my dog off the verandah

    Would love to know Viney’s TOG in the first half. I would say it’s low. We are managing the mids loads today and I expect he will play most of the last quarter and we will hopefully run over the top of them.

    A big second half of 12 possies for Riv and two more goals to Petty and Melky and I’ll be $2500 richer. 

    Wish you luck with that, needed Gawn to kick that goal from the pocket for a big payout last week.

    Always like this down there, that end has all the scores. Next qtr they just need to go defensive and counter punch them in the last with the wind

    Little to no wind today, so should have zero impact

    While that was horribly frustrating and saddening, what it shows is that we can still find a foothold in games even when the game isn’t on our terms. Its a contrast to the Pies who only have one way back in to games.

    It still bewilders me that Hibberd is onthe bench as a sub when he is one of our best defenders. Plus he’s coming off 31 possessions last week at Casey. We need his foot skills desperately.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
