Just now, whatwhat say what said:

my cousin is convinced there’s a minimum quota of score reviews to satisfy the sponsors

i think he might be onto something

somebody is getting paid. i thought perhaps the goal umps are on a commission. some of the reviews today were pointless.

    the most egregious one was yesterday at taxpayer park, where the ball hit the post and went at right angles and the goal maggot STILL called for a review

    Zac Bailey has played 120 games? Feels like he’s only been around a few years 

    Very good player. Got a few more gears ⚙️ to go yet, very good 1 v 1 and snags goals.

    A poster yesterday used the name "Pork Barrel Park". I quite like that

    and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

    the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

    This is so true. (Listen to the wise, kiddies. We're not all senile.)

    Looking towards next weeks it appears Sicily has been suspended for protecting himself against an Essendon player trying to be tough (which is rare). The MRP is a shambles.

    Whsts happening with them?

    Thanks

    Freo have stepped up the pressure big time. Lions look rushed in their disposals since quarter time.

    He lifted a player off the ground and dumped him off the ball. That’s dangerous and silly. Nothing defensive about that.

    Always been a bit of a grub, Sicily.

    Early days but a potential 0 & 2 for the Lions including losses at homes is massive.

     

    Someone else posted on Demonland that 0-2 to start a season means only 18% chance to play finals. So historically, one of pies or lions probably won’t play finals going off that, which is interesting

    BrisVegas playing Collingwood next in Round 3, would be great to see both winless heading towards this match.

    • 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.
