Why we let Jordan go is beyond me 

You know very well that he chose to leave as a free agent.  We had no say in it.

Why you persist in peddling this "let him go" furphy is perplexing.

    He left because of chances so in effect we let him go

    I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming

    The expression "poison chalice" springs to mind.

    Can we rebrand the leftover merchandise from Ninthmond to Northmond?

    We wanted him to stay.  That's not letting him go.

    When a player is not getting a go regularly and has limited opportunity they all go to greener pastures and that was the case full stop no matter how you want to spin it.

    I'm looking at the Norf score and, regardless of the myriad of issues, they should not be this bad. There's a couple of players who do not give a stuff and in just about any other team would be dropped for lack of effort. Zurhaar plays like a bloke marking time until recruited by a big club. He's not alone. Pathetic.

    Gosh these 2 games are soooo 1 sided.

    Wonder how dimma is enjoying Darwin. Usually likes to complain about travelling. 

    These older Geelong players are going to tire easily in the Darwin weather next week

    North, Richmond and Suns are Essendon’s next three games.

    They’ll be top 2 soon. 

    We beat St Kilda, West Coast and North in rounds 8,9 and 10 in 2022 and then fell in a hole we haven’t yet quite fully extracted ourselves. Let’s hope same happens to them. .

    Losing Harmes, JJ and Gus in one season. They are 3 premiership players. And you wonder why our midfield has fallen off the face of this earth. 
     

    Yea a little dramatic… but point to be made. 

    Exactly this!!!

    Richmond have 4 flags to hang their hat on, but what in the sweet Jesus is happening at Norf? 
    I never thought I’d see someone be worse than us under Neeld, but I think they have us covered 😧

    Sydney will come back to the pack. Happens every year. They haven’t had too many hard games just yet. 

    Did you mean Essendon? Because Sydney is far and away the competition's number 1 seed right now, mainly because they have the league's best record against good sides.

    They've beaten the sides currently sitting 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th, plus 9th and 10th.

    No other top 8 side has that many wins against fellow contenders, nor are any of them undefeated against fellow contenders.

    It's bizarre that Richmond beat the Swans.

    Gold coast play Geelong in Darwin next week and they're without Cameron and Hawkins.

    A loss there could see the cats fall as far as 7th at the end of next week.

    It is and it’s also a good reminder that these bottom clubs will win matches this year. Just got to make sure we don’t slip up against them.

    Feel a bit sorry for Yze but not for Richmond.

    • 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.
