Accurate goal kicking wins matches

Ben Brown makes a huge difference to our team

Having a big fwd who will mark above his head takes a lot of attention away from Fritta and JvR and splits the defence 

Just good to have a big presence to be mindful of as a defender as well. As long as he doesn't have to do too much defensive running he's still a good target.

I'm proud to say that today's match was the first Melbourne game I've attended interstate. 

What a bloody win. Couldn't be prouder of the boys.

Wonderful win, we soaked up their pressure for 3 quarters and then really went to work in the last

Please someone give Derm an Easter egg 

And here’s me 3 weeks ago saying Brown and TMac are dead and cooked. I bow before thee in great apology. That goal from Ben on 50 when the crowd’s meth had really kicked in……awesome

Credit for putting the hand up. Very few do.


Hung around all night, great resilience on display where Port clamped down a lot of players like Fritsch, Petracca and Pickett. ANB, Langdon, BBB were so good, great to see Windsor kick his first. All this without May. One of the best wins in Goodwin era, a genuine contender with a lot more upside to come.

It's March you just want wins on the board, playing premiership footy now is pointless.

Dumbest comment of the year. Did you expect us to win a different way or? Make it make sense with some people 🤦

6 behinds. 

How awesome is accurate kicking?

15 goals from only 45 entries is awesome

ANB is a freak, he’s gone to an A grader this year

I wouldn’t say an A grader. However, he’s an improving playing even at his age. It’s more the mental now. ANB is athletic, with a tank, but a cooler head than we see. He is aging well, and he will improve. 

Fitness - 11/10. we ran over the top.

Midfield/stoppage/clearance - 3/10 for first 3 quarters, 15/10 for last quarter. 

Field kicking - 1/10 for 3 quarters. 8/10 last quarter.

Lever, Viney, Max, BBB, - epic leadership. 

Goal kicking - 9/10.

Umpiring was poor to both teams, no advantage. 5/10

He's on fire this year.  Was key tonight when Oliver and co were being held back.

Clayton Oliver 9 possessions, 4 contested and 2 clearances in the last quarter. 

Derm just doesn’t rate us , so great to shove it up him.

Gee that was a good battle.

May and Trac and Clarry,  not at their best , Kozzie too.

Away  from home , hostile crowd , huge win bloody huge!

  • 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?
