Just saw vision of the Lever throw call, freo player wraps his arm around Lever's neck just before and it's completely missed and Melbourne are penalised. Vision makes it a shocking umpiring miss.

    And don’t mention the clearances. According to Binman they’re a irrelevant stat.

    In what has been a very disappointing half of footy 2 positives stood out to me.

    Windsor is a winner. He only knows how to win.

    And JVR is going to be the best tall forward we’ve had in 15 years.

    How can every other team shark taps and we can’t??

    do we do no research into other teams?

    My thoughts exactly. Teams can go in with no rucks against us and win a clearance. We have no ruck and cannot get near it. 

    But Oliver and Viney badly need a rocket.

    Because it’s hard to learn to shark taps in two weeks when you’ve been used to having the best ruckman of the modern era at your disposal for years. 
     

    The ruck contests aren’t the issue. Our mids doing nothing to defend the ball drop is the issue.

    He's a gun.

    Hopefully won't be rucking all the time.

    I know we are getting obilterated in the ruck but is there any chance our mids can play goalside ffs.

    Goalside at clearances is it much to ask for, on their shoulder.

    Also stick a [censored] tackle.

     

    Yep, just stop the the clearances where Freo walk it out. Go defensive until the Dees can even the contest. 


    Putting that display not on Goody's non ruck selection call, but instead on our midfielders who have totally outworked. 

    Need a huge lift out of Viney, Rivers, Kozzy and ANB

    At half time of the Alice game I thought Freo couldn’t play any better and we couldn’t play any worse. They got better, we got worse.

    Definitely the same vibes about this game aside from Freo’s inaccuracy. Will be interesting to see if we can make some inroads in the second half or just let the game get out of control per round 12.

    We’re definitely playing with one hand tied  behind our back with the ruck and clearance issue.

    Bedford by a fair margin for mine.  He has a weapon which Chin does not.

    Chin only has manic follow up pressure (chasing tail) and second efforts which sometimes works and looks good when it comes off.

    Bedford brings the wheels plus the latter.

    I was being somewhat facetious 🙂

    Bedford by the length of the Flemington straight and then some.

    Should have been obvious to the List managers BEFORE Bedford left.

    This is reminding me of when I played U17’s and the top side would show up with a dozen players over 190 cm and most with beards and sideburns! We amazingly seem to be undersized all over the ground but somehow they also have midfield players everywhere, running riot! 

     

    Too funny. Thanks for that. 
     

    did you ever see that Wonder Years episode when he is soccer team shows up and the opposition are like twice as tall as them? I have memories like that too…

    I put the blame on our leaders 

    Viney and Clarry in the middle have been terrible especially when we are getting towelled up

    May the only leader standing up

    If I’m Goodwin 

    - Disco to shadow Darcy around the ground 

    - ANB hard tag on Young

    - Viney head to head with Sarong

    - McVee to the midfield.

    All should be put on the trade table afaic.

    The speed on this game looks to have gone past Salem in that first half.

    Hopefully he can bring something to the table in the second.

    This was a big test for us , but we are getting games into our youngsters and hopefully better next year with Trac back and a proper pre season for Clarry.

    We still have a chance this year with Max back next week.

    Hurts seeing Jackson dominate against us, as he is what we are missing most.

    • 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?
