Two weeks in a row Ben Brown can barely give a bloody contest. Genuinely soft efforts for such a big guy.

Not soft at all - just physically knackered tonight.

6 disposals between Fritsch JVR BBB Petty - will never ever win this way,

They look mentally tired.

Probably from all the media interviews singing about our Adelaide efforts. Well that was then.

Max is gone 

One mark.

A sad barometer.

 

Petracca 🤢🤢🤢 disposals

    Another solid prior opportunity 

    When they tackle we can’t dispose of it and are caught holding the ball. 
     

    When we tackle they dispose of it with ease.

    Umpiring has to be clear direction from their coaches

    To paraphrase Paul Keating - is this the thrashing we had to have???

    Questions will be asked. 

    So at half time.... 5 goals down.  You CANNOT play the usual spare behind the ball.

    I hope Goodwin changed this structural aspect up at half time so we have even numbers at all stoppages.

    Cause we've been getting smashed around stoppages (among other areas!)


    Without question every single time this club talks itself up we lose the Next game.

    Every time 

    Can we please top media interviews.

    Oh yeah three quarters and Petty still hasn't touched it.

    Not great.

    And can we please give Kozzie another week off.

    He is not a team player.

    He's a star but he's selfish and unreliable.

    [censored] me that was pathetic from our mids and defense. No pressure what so ever

    Not our year. In 2021 we beat all contenders. We’re just pretenders this year.

    • 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?
