like who?

mr. 2 possessions bedford?

obviously the Hogan situation couldn’t be helped. he took 8 years to get his head together as evidenced by his time at Freo

For starters

Luke Jackson-Fullerton/Schache

That’s the number 1 problem this year 

Losing Brayshaw and Jordon.
Angus was never going to pass a medical after last September, We let Jordon go way too easily 

I hope McAdam can show us something, but he is very injury prone, if you know any Crows Supporters, they weren’t too fussed losing him

We have let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent 

That’s the bottom line

who?

hogan; got may and sparrow instead

bedford; we preferred chandler as a small pressure forward

jackson; got jefferson and windsor when he wanted to go home

Sure.

Still leaves a huge hole in the forward line, considering what we lost. 
 

not sold on Jeffeerson at all so far

so yr referencing one player - a 2nd year skinny tall forward - as evidence that we replaced a host of players with inferior talent?

may is better than all of those who have left, as evidenced by his all-australian selections and premiership player status

Will be interesting to see how the peptides go without Draper from here


Any links to the Chris Snott presser when available from the tech Guru's would be greatly appreciated.👏

No. I am referencing at least 3 players 

on Paper Fullarton/Schache is our replacement for Jackson. 
That is a huge loss on Matchday

Jefferson is nowhere near AFL standard right now 

i am not talking about Stephen May. I am talking about the Forward line.

so only one example of all the forwards we gave away. A ruck/fwd who kicked a few goals and desperately wanted to go home

Not sure you understand that there are things outside of our control

not really - you said we 'let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent'

well, no, we didn't

the only true forwards who've left us are hogan and bedford; we replaced them with may, sparrow, and pick 44, which was on-traded with our 2nd ruckman to bring in pick 13, 2023 first rounder, and 2023 second rounder

even accounting for jackson as ostensibly being a forward, we got windsor for him, so... inferior talent? no

Schache replaced Weid. like for like talent wise

Fullarton was the best tall fwd/ruck we could get. not like we passed on King.

I am talking about our list as it stands

Fullarton/Schache are the replacements for Jackson, which is a huge downgrade 


So yeah, those Tigers are hanging in there. 

My goodness Mykelti 🤩

no, jackson netted us the the picks that became jefferson and windsor; the latter is already a key member of our (possible) top 4 side in 2024

from a player personnel perspective, i'd say grundy was the replacement for jackson; grundy didn't suit our structure as he was unable to play anything other than as starting ruck / robbed gawn of his ability to be the #1 ruckman in the game; subsequently grundy was effectively replaced by fullarton - one vfl player in 2023 replacing one vfl player in 2024 - albeit at a salary cap saving of probably ~$400k per annum

schache replaced weideman - one vfl player in 2022 replacing one vfl player in 2023

Jackson averaged 0.6 goals per game for us. Not exactly a huge hole up fwd. Sure he is very good player on the ball. but we need a big key fwd, hopefully one day we will get one

but to think we have let one go is just untrue

McAdam has only played one game. I'm for giving him a chance to make a difference to our forward set-up.

Again, no credit or mention (by name) of the oppo.

Apparently the Cats played poorly for a half but then improved immensely in the 2nd.

And poorly for three quarters against us.  He can't move on from that loss which is great to hear.

I can’t agree with that, our list has become way more inferior up forward since LJ left

Of course, i hope he does well, he needs to fire in the back half of the season

Riccardi a stellar game so far.

That goal in the 3rd was very special.

Something you don't see alot of from the big fellas much nowadays.

Was listening and every time I hear his name though I thought the cats had it #too old. 

Cats press conferences have become must watch TV, only a matter of time b4 it replace drip tray on Front Bar and they bring back under the pump.

Bombers showing how terrible they are 

The Tiger’s reserves are out there

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
