Just now, whatwhat say what said:

he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

Have to disagree re defensive pressure.

He's had 7 tackles in a half so far and had a good 1minute late in that quarter where he had 5 or 6 repeat efforts scrapping at the lose ball to cause an opposition turnover. His game against the pies he had the most pressure acts of anyone on the ground despite only playing 65% game time.

    Blake Howes has been solid

    Really hard to read what might be AFL-relative footy in this wet slog.

    Jefferson a standout for the way he is presenting and looks a dominant point in the forward line.

    I feel sorry for Laurie - far too good for VFL but can't quite produce it at AFL level (going in and out of the team isn't helping).

    Sestan and McAdam playing like average VFL players.

    I wish Mitch White was 22-23 yo. I would roomie list him in a heart bit.

    Casey defensive and effort is outstanding.

    Composure inside F50 an issue (sounds familiar).

    Playing well but not capitalising.

    Howes looks classy. Hopeful future. McAdam staking a claim. Not Jefferson's conditions but still competitive.  Laurie nearly double figure tackles.

    Howes is dominating this 3rd quarter. Very steady influence. Unlucky to have that beautiful goal cancelled by a free against McAdam. Laurie our next best.

    McAdam has played his role well but we can’t afford that ill-discipline at AFL level. Wouldn’t mind seeing him as sub soon.

    Impressed with Jefferson getting in the right spots and using the ball well.

    Brown has had some really impressive moments and also some really bad.

    Hunter and Billing’s have been deplorable and so hard to watch. Almost as bad as the umpiring.

    We should be way further in front but very wasteful in front of goal.

    I know it's wet, but to be 10 points up with 10 more scoring shots is criminal. Surely Choco moves on at the end of the year

    Time and time again we have free targets inside 50 but players electing to have a ping from difficult angles. Frustrating

    We are slaughtering the Bullants, only to play country style footy inside F50. Very frustrating.

    he has a lot of tackles as he's second man in at contests

    chandler's frontal pressure is much better

    • 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?
