Easter Saturday produced a couple of good ones, Easter Sunday has the potential to be ugly. Hope Ooze and his Tigers have a change of luck. 

 

My god West Coast are awful, like worse than MFC 2013 awful.

They don’t deserve a start of R1 priority pick, but for the sake of the competition they need one (they should be forced to trade it for ready made talent though). 9.4 to 0.5 in almost a half of football.

Not as good as our 16.4 to 1.1 in 1.5 quarters though 😜

Starting to wonder what WCE's rebuild plan is

According to the Fox commentators just now, it is Priority Picks. Despite WCE netting a flag merely 6 years ago and digging themselves into their current hole skewing their list profile to try to add to their 2018 success.

2 years of compensation picks leading into Tasmania’s compensation picks. 
 

Last night was so enjoyable then I start to think about the umpires, the MRO and the 19th and possible 20th team and wonder why those that have a voice sit in silence.


Feel for Harley Reid. His plight is not dissimilar to that of Jack Watts in terms of expectation. Even more so of course. And I just wonder if playing for a team so bereft of structure and talent will end in unfulfilled potential and bad habits. 

West Coast are so unbelievably awful. It's a bad look for the competition but they can't be getting any bonus picks just yet. They won a flag 6 years ago. Need another 4 years at least of performances like this before priority picks come onto the table for a team that won so many flags in the AFL era and has won one so recently.

Still it's a bad look for the comp - one dud game per week.

I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

Made a fair song and dance about wanting to go home. Not for mine.

Lucky for us we get them twice this year.  It really is a massive advantage for those sides who have drawn them twice. They will jag one or two upset wins but they are definitely in the same category as the 12/13 Demons.

For some context, at the time he had 3 children under 2, including two with autism, and no family support.

I feel sorry for Jayden Hunt. So close to winning a flag now losing every week

Tiges playing Sydney very well. Suffocating their run, no free outside unpressured disposals, making them kick to a packed area.

Still digging out a two storey basement whilst they await planning consent.

It’s too late for Meth Coke and North now. Probably Hawthorn as well, the Map of Tassie will be cleaning up on young talent. 
there will be a few Clubs very concerned about the future

getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

  • 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?
