    On the other hand nice that Jayden can sing the song today

    This is the only reason I’m still watching this. But I expect I’ll have to endure the start of Bounce in order to see it.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    More money from the AFL just like GWS and GCS etc.

    AFL never makes hard decisions just like politicians. Too much backlash

    If it was still Hardwick and not Ooze this would be more enjoyable

    After todays results its hard not seeing North finishing bottom 2 again. I'm starting to feel sorry for them as we know the feeling of constantly losing year on year.

    That’s why Hardwick got ‘tired’ of coaching and left to not be smeared with these type of losses

    It's tough and if it was us I would have been screaming and now I'd be broken. But you're right. 1 or 2 too many teams in Victoria for long term.

    And bringing in a Tassie team kills their Tassie connection, and their sponsorship including the AFLW opportunity.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    North’s Survival hinged on James Brayshaw having a Grand Solution, where is it? Absolutely non existent,

    now we have 3 sides (possibly 4), who all need top end talent. You can’t give assistance to 1 Club & not the others. 
    we won’t have 19 Clubs for long, there will be a 20th, so the AFL has created a major problem, that I don’t think it saw coming 

    I don’t know the answer, but North staying in Melbourne has really given them a headache

    GWS and GCS make sense as money pits though. They serve a purpose to grow the game in regions where they need extra media exposure. Being a two team town creates a local rivalry which makes the competition feel legitimate too (ie not a Vic comp with a single local presence).

    Pumping money into North doesn't serve that purpose at the moment, and North must realise it isnt a viable long term solution.

    Banking on the AFL being too weak to make a real decision is a short term solution based on current management,they must know things could change in an instant.

    Getting back to yesterday's results, I see that Carlton fans were visibly rocked by that close loss.

    A moral win by Port as they don’t have Maynard.

    Ugh the cheek. 
    Welcome to our world, Vossy

    While he can’t publicly bag the review system or the umpires, Voss is clearly spewing about the Owies (deemed touched) goal in the third quarter…

    You didn’t have the benefit of seeing what happened, huh Vossy. Well, try having the benefit of seeing what happened and still getting stiffed. That’s so much worse. Everyone behind the goals at last year’s semi had the benefit of seeing what happened when Caleb Marchbank didn’t touch the ball. Hurts when the shoe’s on the other foot, doesn’t it?!

    Been away all weekend so catching up on some Kayo Bites. 

    What a win that was from Adelaide! Very very impressive and good on them for not giving up.

    North should head to Canberra. Along with adjacent areas of Southern NSW (traditional Australian Rules Football territory) it has a population base possibly larger than Tasmania. Playing a few Northern Territory games could also be an idea.

    GWS playing some matches in Canberra just dilutes the push into Western Sydney IMO.

    He could need more roughage

    Perhaps Metamucil?

    As bad as Hawks & Tigers are, they have HUGE injury lists so there is no way to accurately assess them. 

    And as bad as the Roos are, I'm not getting sucked in at all. They are doing exactly what Clarkson did at the Hawks in his first 2 years and with his track record the club will just wear all the carp. The current difficulty is, they don't have a Buddy Franklin and they need 2 large backmen.

    North should move to play at Geelong. With the population growth happening to the West of Melbourne, Geelong, and Surf Coast it makes a lot of sense, and also…

    It would really annoy Geelong, and that’s always a good thing.

    In that universe,  how funny would it be if the Govt mandated that they share Kardinia Park 50:50 with the Cats due to the significant taxpayer funds thst have gone into its development. 🤣

    • 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.
