Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

You can't say that!!

EVERYONE has saying he was " the answer" after about 3 games last year.

Hilarious

Poor last quarter.

The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

Sounds trivial?

It isn't and wont be come final time.

Lol we are at 28 points, Port at 32 - enjoy the win!

Positives. 4 points and Tomlinson

Negatives. Too conservative again and slow moving ball.

St Kilda were pathetic.

He struggles against the better forwards.  

Running and contesting is a great thing

At the end of the day hell triumphs over heaven yet again.

Not a perfect win but still a good one.

No it didn’t. Port are a game ahead of us.

Pity we got smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp last week ain’t it

Might be the catharsis required to shake off the mid-season lethargy. Top four you need fight to stay up there.

To say nothing of the rubbish they served up last week.

What the f are you even saying right now? 

Letting them get the last 3 was soft

BURY THEM

Meanwhile the Crows are destroying the Eagles, normal transmission resumes

We are Jekkyl and Hyde level footy

 


Great to see a dominant 1st quarter. We've been too slow out of the traps recently.

Set shots better but still room to improve. we were 4-9 at one stage but thankfully found our shooting boots after that.

Good last quarter from Clarry. he hasn't been his normal beast mode self recently. hopefully that's the springboard to return to top form.

All in all a good days work at the G.

Go Dees

Enjoyed the awe in Dangerfield’s voice when talking about Gawn. Marshall is meant to be one of the elite rucks going around and Max treated him with disdain.

It shouldn’t get lost that we are watching an all time great every week.

This win gives me confidence we're still a contender. Liked having Salem back in his old role given he'd been pushed into the middle with an extra defender in the side. Defensive unit had the right balance, Tommo is a great Lever insurance but probably just that. Hunter had a strong return showing. Gawn is still scarily dominant even with an injury niggle. On the other hand, don't know how the Saints have managed to go downhill this much in such a short time.

Would love to have gotten a bit more out of Petty and McAdam, but ok to persist with this forward set up until Melksham comes into the fold. Langdon's got a bit of unutilised forward craft.

I agree, we can’t keep trying to find positives, give Jeffo a go or Tmac forward or Thommo forward, let’s face it 5 possessions a game would be a bonus

He is approaching GOAT. Without a question .


Anyone who has been going to the games noticed how nice Tmac’s kicks have been looking? Hits the ball at its lowest point, and its resulting in absolute bullets. 

Still a lot of work to do but enjoyed the win

The fact that Port have won an extra game would have made that difficult Einstein.


For those laying into McAdam, it’s a bit rough. 2nd game. It’ll take time to find his feet and rhythm at this level, in a new team. I thought he got into some good spots. He’ll be fine. Got to give these guys some time! Even if it was smart strategy to drop guys after 2 rounds, we don’t have the depth for that!

Agree, containing Gawn is a whole team effort. Just on another level to his peers. Didn't think he'd be doing this 3 years after the flag

Nibbla 27 @ 74%, 12 contested and 2 goal assists, 11 centre bounce attendances, he’s above a role player now 👏🏻 

would’ve been nice to win by 50 instead of 38 but we’d put the cue in the rack and benched Max and a couple of others. Did what we needed to do and comfortably beat a weak opponent.

Am I convinced we’re back? No but it’s better than last week. 

Gee the saints are SH eeee T.

Thats the softest AFL midfield I’ve seen since we got called Bruise Free in 2011.

Hard to take much out of that. If we were any good we would have been 8 goals up at half time.

Stafford needs to go at the end of the year. Can we get an actual modern day forward coach?

  • 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?
