C'mon man, he was kicking at 72% accuracy at goal last season... Give the kid a break. He is working harder now being the 2nd ruck.

Van Rooyen, not a ruckman, poor hands, Billings, not his type of game.

joeboy -Ā tripping night fantasticĀ some inspired triplets tonight. Some Milton would be proud of or are sword and sandal movies being revived in Rundleland?

eg.Ā 
Gawn - an Herculean performance Ā so aptĀ 
Chandler -Ā courageous and cleverĀ Ā bandages flapping in the breeze gives that ambulant epic look.

Viney-Ā blood and gutsĀ now that was an Epic!Ā 

El Langdon watch; yes young Ed is very much on track covering post to post.

Just slightly perplexed by;

Hore -Ā limited but impressiveĀ Ā skills wise or ToG%? Definitely not lacking ticker.

Told ya about Jeffo. Had a rare off day with his accuracy but marked at will.

With JVR he is being made to ruck at 193 cms which is pretty hard for starters and then when he is forward, the ball is again being kicked high to a pack, hence his high flying miracle attempts.

When he is given some decent passes, combined with his accuracy at goal kicking, he will produce some very good performances.

Give the young kid some space. Ā When not required to do so much ruck work , like last year, he made some great leads, clunked some strong mark and kicked some super goals

He is going through a rough spot and needs support not Ā mockeryĀ

I am not mocking him. Just saying I think he is overrated.Ā 

JVR will be a top shelfer. Some of you clowns were seeing the compensation pick as a win win if we lost Viney to geelong fo free agency in pre 2021. So I interpret what a number of you think about football as though I was picking up my dogs feaces off your front lawn to be honest when it comes to knowing our players.Ā Ā 

Would be an interesting thread to dig up

He also provides defensive efforts. Last night he got a key contested mark with 2 minutes on the clock and Port just bombing into our 50. Those can be game winning one percenters.

See what I mean below. Case in Point. All re: Jack Viney staying or going in sep 20. He was always our same Jack.Ā  Some people orĀ  just thick. And on that premise I will not buy the JVR is over rated or no good.

  • 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. Sundayā€™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 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?
