Good comeback but it has to be said our fwd pressure has been non existent.

Hopefully we move past that and pile on some goals and get the points.

Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?

    We've gone from being great on small grounds and average at the MCG, to average on small grounds and great at the MCG. We seem to struggle assessing distance on small grounds.

    When you have your forward line hanging around the centre then you have problems on a few occasions players getting the ball around the wing but have to try and buy time because your forward line has been sucked up the ground then nothing will work, they fixed it up a bit in the back half of the quarter.

    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.

    I have to have faith in the match committee, but he would have got the gig in front of Smith for mine.

    I remember that game in 2016. Old fashioned shoot out. Great battle between Goldy and Gawny. 2 champions it has to be said.

    Lucky we’ve been accurate. I’ll take being 4pts down. Hopefully that end isn’t the scoring end and we are chasing down a lead in the last.

    Harmes and Salem look like they are playing school boy football. They don’t look interested and just cruising.

    Seven goal quarter.

    Need two more of them and hold them them to a couple and get a 10 + goal win.

    Salem has looked a shell of himself for weeks.

    Anyone know if we swung changes to counter Ford?

    He was everywhere early on. Did we make a change or just lift our intensity?

    76% on ground .

    I’d say that’s low for him? I don’t know. 
    Didn’t see him much in the centre bounce 

    This was never going to be an easy game.

    They've still pushed some quality sides this year regardless of result.

    I would just be happy to take the win and no injuries.

    This game is not fixed yet, we really need to stamp our authority on this quarter.

    Little to no wind today, so should have zero impact

    Interesting no excuse then I guess 

    Is anyone having issues with Kayo pausing and buffering. I'm getting a clear 100 Mbps on my internet connection and have absolutely zero issues whatsoever streaming with any other service except for Kayo.

    • 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.
