    Laurie is a small forward with no real pace but has footy smarts. Perhaps that’s he only real position.  Hes not a midfielder imv 

    Or an AFL level talent.

    Moniz has so many possessions because he is running hard with the 1-2 and linking up. Sadly he isn’t the one who ends up kicking inside 50. Great half of footy. 
     

    Seaston played Q1 inside 50 and now playing Trac/ANB roll of being around the contest and running forward in Q2 and being a difference maker. 
     

    billings on the wing. Playing nice. Nothing to report, he’s a nice player. He can kick a football and run  

    Laurie had a great Q1. He’s in and around, just not getting it (mainly as White is a man possessed in the centre). 
     

    B Brown hasn’t really been targeted. 
     

    Jeffo been looking really dangerous (just took another pack mark as I wrote this). He’s playing on a defender in Keelor who has been good today, but not a great defender. 
     

    Kolt - fades in and out. Considering the number of first round picks out there, he’s certainly one of the best of them. 


    Verrall is getting beaten but you can see he can play. 
     

    Adams - he’s been ok. But someone needs to be Membry and if it was Tomlinson or Turner, they’d be on him. Adams isnt. So read into that as you will. 
     

    k Brown - good Q2. Rotating mid, and forward.

    Agree, but one can see you have no forwards present but they just kick without understanding they need to hold it up till the forwards get back it's just playing on for the sake of it, it's bad coaching full stop.

    Yes agreed.  That's when you need to hit 45s or laterals.  Possibly even behind as a last resort if no other options.

    As mentioned, many players miss this aspect for some reason and just blaze away regardless of what's in front.  Although some are under so much pressure they have little time to assess and they just have to dump kick.  Not ideal but its the nature of the game

    Great to see Valentine back.  He adds a bit of solidity to the back line imho.

    Casey’s lack of poise costing them a semi-substantial lead.

    We definitely seem to be playing a fast get it forward game at Casey. I don't mind it as a development game as it's sink or swim if you have the skills.

    How you build in that last kick into 50 is a challenge with this style particularly if the side is bereft of fast moving/small forwards.

    At least you can see the germ of an idea. I prefer it to the long kick boundary game of previous years as far as skill development goes

    Absolutely DJ.  You hit the nail on the head with lack of mobile small / medium forwards to present and clean up.

    Moniz is one of those options imho but doing very well at HB so far.  Bill the other of course

    • 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.
