Just about nailed it.

Thing is... sometimes the description is seen as unnecessarily patronising or remonstrative....

But this is actually just very...matter of fact.

This is what they were.Ā 

Have no doubt they played their guts out...

But...Ā  Ā no chocolates...Ā  Ā

We admittedly had more than 3 good players. We lost the game through conversion, plain and simple. We controlled that game and had far more better players then them.

Viney - no real impact

Petracca - couldn't get involved

Oliver - wasteful with ball

Kozzie - more cold than hot

May - well played mate

Lever - did his job

Bowey - barely seen

McDonald - did he even play?

Chandler - Bedford is much better

McVie - damn good year

Salem - still off his best

Spargo - one of his best

Smith - triedĀ 

Hunter - ok, nothing special

Langdon - slipped too often

Jordan - move him on

Tomlinson - good luck next year

Neal-Bullen - little impact really

Rivers - quiet game, but big future

Fritsch - underdone but still classy

Sparrow - one tough unit

Schacke - did as much as TMac

Dude. C'mon man.

We lost that game like we have lost every game over the last few years. Close. Maybe a few calls that went against us.. but ultimately it comes down to missed opportunity.

This was the last hurrah with this game plan. We should have won last week if we picked correctly. We didn't. Laurie and Schache as sub were the oddest choices all season.

Whatā€™s happened to Lingers looked like he had skates on tonight, slip sliding awayā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.!!

Laurie wasn't he had done well in Rounds 23 and 24. Trouble was he had all day instead of about a quarter to play last week. Should have been back as sub again snd in last quarter Ā he might quite easily have won It for us with some skill and conversion.


Langdon - stop slipping over

Gawn - please be physical

  • 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 Fullartonā€™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 Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™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 wasnā€™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 teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā 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.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ 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 theyā€™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 ā€˜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. Sundayā€™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?
