    Petty looks as if he's already signed up elsewhere. He shouldn't be playing. Maybe he isn't a fwd.

    Don't know what's going on with Viney and Tracca.

    Sparrow never really dominates.

    Billings back to Casey.

    I don't mind losing but not like this. Richmond are terrible but we are letting them win from just lazy and poor efforts.

    When have we played this badly before.

    Even if we win there needs to be a microscope on this match.

    I'm sorry but we are not top four contenders. Im not even confident we are final eight after that half.

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    That may be the case but most of our errors have come from disposals that are under no pressure at all. Simple basics of the game.

    Is Petty anywhere near fit enough, looks miles off it.

    Yze has put together a game plan against us & it's working.

    He knows how our players operate & being around Melbourne knows he we can also crumble 

    And what about Mini for the tigers? Can he offer up anything?

    Not an excuse IMO, we are bog ordinary.

    Stay Staunch. Keep the faith.

    I think we have found out all we need to know tbh.

    We won’t be contending unless we do a complete 180.

    What pressure, most of the turn overs are under none, make you wonder wth they are thinking out there

     

    You can forget about top 4 if we lose this one.

    Richmond are on. I'll take 4pts if we can overcome the pressure. It's a great game of footy.


    Top excuses for that half of "football"

    1 Too long between games (weve got rusty)

    2. Ground too dry, we read the weather forecast and they said it would rain

    3. Jumper clash, confused by the similarities in the colours

    4. Not used to playing on Wednesday night

    5. Cant hear our team cause the crowds too big

    How do you explain the first quarter misses? Easy set shots. I honestly don’t rate Choccos goal kicking coaching.

    Assume it is blowing a gale! Only reason i can think that you miss 15 metre kicks!

    Got the binos in Clarry's hand. I'd love to see it looks good but I'd be basing that on nothing but a doctorate of sight

    Or win.

    Dunstalls full of it but summed is up perfectly..... malaise.

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    Or cares


    Petty in defence? Is the forward experiment over?

     

    If we can get a first round pick for Petty we grab it and run

    • 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?
