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

They weren't too fussed after they knew McAdam was leaving but before he was leaving they wanted a straight swap for Petty.

It took them a couple of weeks to work out it wasn't happening.

He played well for them for a 3 year period.

    McAdam played some good games at Crom, but he hasn’t had consistency yet. If we can get that out of him, then he will be an asset. 
    His kicking sure let him down last week.

    Of course the club with the most frees by far, gets a quiet patch in a game and the Coach is complaining about umpiring.

    Blues just must have every free.

    Anyone watch the Giants beat the cats at the cattery.  Wow. They were desperate.  They missed chances in the first half and early in the third quarter.  Giants should have been 8 goals up but at 5 goals, the cats clawed their way back.  Yet even with the home town fans screaming for the cats, the giants held on and then got the last goals through a piece of Greene magic. Their pressure then to hang on and keep the cats scoreless in the last 8 minutes.  Bodies on the line.  Tackles that held.  Yes held the player up.  
     

    I honestly would love to see Dees take our intensity to lift to this level.  We show it in parts.  Yes in parts only and certainly not at the start of games.

    Somehow we got comfortable. Maybe the Dees got “ freed from desire “ too much after 2021.  Goody also got comfortable imv and needs 240 volts as well.

    Essential viewing:

    The Scott press conference.

    Old mate Scotty didn't disappointed.

    I admire his confidence.

    He could have gone safe in his attempt to win the coveted Poor sportsmanship- coaches division award (or as it is colloquially known, the sour puss).

    After all  he has a handy lead over mcrae, who has surged of late, scoring big with his patented go to passive aggressive routine.

    But, no, Scotty decided to attempt the rare triple pay the opponents no respect move - and totally nailed it. Respect.

    The cats apparently played poorly for 3 quarters against the giants, port and dees - and still almost won (he got bonus points for using the under a goal line - the judges loved it).

    Though he missed a chance to try the even rarer quadruple disrespect trick by not disrespecting the suns a bit more.

    Though he did pick up some easy points by acting if having 160 points scored against them is no big deal.

    And really, probably didn't need the extra points after totally nailing his signature 'no disrespect with a backhanded compliment twist' trick.

    As scott noted, a big factor in the game was the giants taking contested marks

    But, with 'no disrespect', the giants' old school strategy of kicking long to a contest was very basic - but only worked because the cats marked poorly.

    And the judges gave Scott extra points for that trick for the litte twist only the true sour puss aficionados would have picked up - that backhanded compliment was the ONLY time he mentioned the Giants.

    Personally, I loved how Scotty slipped in the tried and true trick of, apropos of nothing, mentioning that the cats have young players (all 3 of them)

    A bravura performance.

    I was at Marvel Stadium yesterday. A solid, professional win by the Blues. It could have blown out further but I think Carlton were easing up in the last 10 minutes of 4th quarter as they play Port in Adelaide on Thursday. Voss made some interesting selections and positional changes (they all worked), a bit adventurous for him, seems to be evolving as a coach now 🤔

    The Suns are a solid team now and will get better. Mac Andrew will be a star. Not sure what Max King's contract status is but the Dees should definitely be chasing him as it could be one of those 'missing piece' signings.

    I caught some of Geelong v GWS on Kayo and did watch all of the last quarter. Both teams were annointed as likely Premiers early in the season and both faltered since. Gritty win by GWS away in Geelong, this might get their season back on track.

    McKenzie is coming along really nicely at the Hawks.

    I know they choked it last week. But i fear that disgusting brown Hawk thing will be back making havoc soon. 
     

    they must be taken down

    Is that Brisbane out of the finals race or does their draw keep them just barely clinging on?

    They would need to pick up a game on the Dogs, two games on Freo and Gold Coast, and also three games on one of the current top 7.

    Done, with the amount of injuries they have.

    We should have smashed the Eagles last week. This is the side they are and we didn’t show up, expected a win without effort and got embarrassed by a cellar dweller. Nothing can convince me otherwise. 

    This game will likely cost a top 4 spot.

    Really cringeworthy too see Essendon in second place.

    It's just sickening watching this crows Eagles game after west coast looked like this star team last week & seeing them perform like this.

    We should not have lost that game last week.

    This is really annoying me. Collingwood have the grit to fight out these wins. Not sure we have the same 

    My own craziness did not age well 😂

    The only thing worse than losing is playing a slow, defensive garbage game style and losing, while at the same time having an deep lack of talent from systemically overrating and overestimating your list. 

    I don't see a way forward for the Saints that doesn't involve bottoming out completely

    • 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.
