Goodwin has out coached his opponents in almost every game this year. Superior strategy, tactics and implementation. The whole kit and caboodle.

    It certainly sounded like a loud and very pro-Melbourne crowd. 

    51,795 puts it as our 5th biggest H&A crowd against them. The top 4 were all day games - I suspect we lost a few Geelong supporters to the night time slot.

    I’m calling it.

    That was pathetic from Geelong supporters last night. Only 10-15k of them turned up. Top of the table, haven’t lost a game all year, big game against a top 4 team at the home of football.

    They couldn’t be bothered to show up.

    I'm a total abstainer from the match day thread during the game and heard nothing from the clown commentators: what actually happened to Viney?

    Watch any presser , they’ve never actually been genuinely beaten ever. Absolute Tool. Hopefully we get to belt them in a final again.

    Interviewer: How's your head?

    Max: Pretty good

    Interviewer: What did the doctor say?

    Max: he come onto the ground and asked me who we played last week - I said I have no idea

    Doctor: Either have I . . . you're right to play on.

    Goody was asked about this in his presser and said that Jack sometimes gets a stinger in his shoulder area but that it comes good after a minute of pain.

    Looking forward to @WheeloRatings’s stats update but some I’ve noticed:

    1. We had 7 of the top 9 pressure act players, with Clarry leading the way. 

    2. It’s either an ongoing tactic or injuries but we’re resting our mids in-game a lot more this year. Gawn 83% TOG, Trac 79%, Oliver and Viney 77%. All feel lower to me compared to previous years. 

    3. Doesn’t matter how quiet you keep Trac, he makes things happen - yet again, game high score involvements with 9.

    That was one of the more intense games I can remember being at for a long time. Brilliant stuff. Finals atmosphere, great match and loud crowd.

    So many things to point out but most exciting for me was Clarry seemingly back and running the game out. Not at his best but so important. We can win the flag if he stays injury free from here.

    Was worth paying $13.50 for mid strength beer lol.

    Tom Stewart had little impact - did Turner play a defensive role on him? Tom Stewart having a mediocre game is a coaching triumph in itself.

    Mids were beaten?

    We won CPs by 3 and clearances by 1. Their major ball winners were half backs (Holmes and Z Guthrie).

    Our mids were quiet for the first half.CP 2 disposals.Clarry Blanketed and Gawn holding his own.Viney went ok. Kozzy ineffective.

    May,Lever,McVee really stood up and saved mistakes made across half forward.

    That tap that resulted in Fritta's magic tricks was awesome. He ran all day and still had the wherewithal to intercept that pass. It won't go down as a traditional stat but it definitely a game saving effort.

    Probably went unnoticed by a few too a 1% turned to gold.

    Take what you said and reverse it.

    Sure, there was context for sure. But numbers are numbers. 
     

    For the record, I haven’t personally called Petty out this year. I get why some would though. I just don’t find any value in people who make points in hindsight.

    Not quite. Gawn referenced the on ground testing they do and that’s what cleared him. 

    Max probably should take those jokes out of repertoire though.

    I'd say Clarry had an iffy first half with some poor disposal at times.

    But his second half was excellent.

    His final quarter was Clarry at his best. Pure and Simple. A match winning quarter.

    It's very simple really, if you can't win in September you are not a contender 🤷🏻‍♂️. My personal opinion.

    It aint called Sleepy Hollow for nothing, most of they're kitty litter supporters only live a stones throw from the ground, just too lazy to come down to the big smoke, preffering Tax payer park as their El Dorado! SHAME ON THEM!

    • 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?

      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.
