    Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I know know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

    Yep. baffling draft choice IMO. project player way off it at the moment when there was ample ready made depth available

    Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

    there's always room for another ruck-rover-mid type

    i think fullarton was recruited as a back-up to jvr

    tall forward who can relief ruck as required

    you wouldn't pick him over jvr nor petty or turner either based upon this year's standard of play

    Would be nice if Casey could have someone in their forward line. Have lost count of the number of times they've had an empty 50

    And who does he replace? He Waa not recruited for that role anyway. We're desperate for a genuine back up ruck.

    Last nights umpires on overtime? Casey can’t buy a free kick i50.

    Laurie looks good - would like to see him replace Sparrow 

    I wouldn't chook. He is a VFL player.  NQR at senior level.

    And I do wonder if he can play the role We are making sparrow play better than sparrow?

    Stats don’t look great, but agreed that a) I’d play him again in the vfl this year and b) there is a rookie spot for him.

    I'd prefer to see Pup Brown rather than Bailey get a proper run in the seniors rather than just get splinters in his rrrse.

    • 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.
