Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

Today is one of them.

His play on decision after marking at CHF, then panicking and trying to thread a pass but coughing it up.... Ughh!

Kozzy still flying for mark of the century.  Can someone in the team ask him to pls stop and go get front & square more often.  It's called "Doing the Team thing"!

Our forwards STILL aren't working hard enough presenting on the lead.

Aside from one Billings kick to Viney i can't recall any other decent connect coming inside 50.

Marty was fab that quarter.

BB was decent!

Windsor's running & work rate impressive.  Tracc & Clarry same.  Their disposal though....bah

Fritta & Kozzy note.... how Viney used up every second of the clock before taking his set shot.  Pls remember to do the same (everyone taking a set shot!)

    obviously a coach in the making really good to see. And petty wandering around as well

    Hope he's not wearing his Crows jumper.

    he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

    When you're in the midfield you still need to do something.

    6 disposals for 0 tackles going at 66% is sub par performance off the back of another poor performance last week.

    Ridiculously overrated by Melbourne supporters on here.

     

    OK now I've seen it all. Simba cam where you hold your child up. 

    Can we just have a quiet half time where we used to watch the little league

    Love your attitude FD.

    That's what life is all about if you ask me. The no self pity attitude.

    I hope they get it done for you. Looking good.

    Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

    We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

    Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

    Kozzie gone cold.

    May playing very well.

    Hore is back where he belongs.

    Jvr totally mia that quarter.

    He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

    Max atoning for last week.

    Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

     

    Chin playing like small forward should why cant picket instead going fo a specky

    Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

    Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

    I've finally stopped procrastinating and got stuck into Orwell's 'Down and out in Paris and London.' Truly special.

    That art of observing reality and presenting it to the reader thoughtfully with only limited judgement of what is being described is sorely missed in our world of 'aggressive reputation management'.

    Y'know, Orwell did some sports reporting for the papers, back in his day.

    I've still never read 1984. That might have to be next!

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
