Goodwin's press conference had that slightly-[censored]-off tone that I rather like. He never gives anything away, win or lose, but he did have a bit of a point to make today. Good on him. I'm not a huge fan, but kudos to him on today's performance

That would be great if indeed it was a fact. But it isn’t. Any or all of them leaving us is also not a fact. You can speculate on the likelihood of such but you can’t say anything is a fact.

I know you are close to the players but as an outsider I would be staggered off Clarry out Viney goes anywhere.

 You asked about what Viney said - I think there are links to it earlier in this thread but essentially when asked about leaving he instantly said he wouldn't be but when asked again, he said he would wait until later - words to that effect. Most people think that he had meant that he would be staying but then realised that was ruining his bargaining power so he walked back from it. I agree with that interpretation.

 I thought he was great - he looked and acted like he had been vindicated.

 

The top 4 this year are all playing average football and are completely gettable. I’d go as far as saying if pies make it, they’d almost be favourites. 

Suns at home. Apparently unbeatable.  And we destroyed them !! 
Gawn was huge. ALL AUSTRALIAN RUCKMAN 

Viney is the ULTIMATE WARRIOR

I was really impressed with Marty Hore, he looked really solid, beat his opponent consistently and some of his kicking really opened up the game for us. 

a role we've really missed since Hibbo retired. 

Just what we all needed. Now bury the pies on Friday night

I agree with you, I’d also be staggered if Vines or Clarrie left. But it’s not “a fact” that they’re not going anywhere. Also, the poster named Tracc as well. 


On the bus to the airport after the match I was chatting to a couple who’d flown over from Perth for the match. We talked about the win and the media pile-on and all things Dees in general. 20 minutes into the conversation I discovered I was chatting with Mr & Mrs Rooey 😁

Jo (Roo’s mum) said Roo loves living in Melbourne and wouldn’t consider moving back to Perth, or anywhere else for that matter. He has a girlfriend here and is happy and settled.

They said they’re really pleased with  Roo being part of our club and there’s no reason for them to ever worry about him, which they appreciate. ❤️💙

Also, a lady working at security at GC airport commented on our players. She said every single one of them was polite and respectful and this is always how they are when they come through security. Apparently there are “quite a few” AFL teams whose players “could learn a thing or two about manners” from our boys. She told me she’d just emailed her manager to share her observation… again.

Me, upon hearing this…

Just watched the game.

Viney played like he was in a final. Just incredible leadership.

I thought Fritsch did much better leading more upfield. Got him into the game.

I'll say it again, we'll really miss Tommo as May waters out next year. We should have played him more often this year.

Tholstrup and Disco are really coming along.

I know we've recruited a few dodgy players over the last few years, but we have some great young kids coming through.

A great win today. I think everyone involved in the club needed that win today

Go Dees

There are also some lovely national parks northeast across the border if you have the time. 

Heading back to Praha for a few days, Dresden then back to Praha and home. Did some nice walks around here.


Proud of how the boys played yesterday and some good reward for their effort over the past 6 weeks or so. Viney is an absolute beast and it is so good to see all of the boys in the circle, not to mention a happy Clarry in amongst it. Looking forward to Friday night and hope we bring the heat vs the Filth.

Kossie 

4 disposals

89 metres

Efficiency 75%...Viney 77%

Uncontested  3

Tackles 1

PRESSURE ACTS 34!!

Seriously? Running quickly after the ball carrier ,who knows you're there and has time to steady and dispose , is basically wasting the time of the stats man.

Week after week

There's a lot of upside I guess

Anyone else confused how Viney can play some games at 110% and go full beast mode while some games he just goes at about 80%? If he played with that intensity every week he’d probably be a top 3 player in the comp. Just incredible.

It's incredibly hard to back up that kind of intensity each and every week.

Especially with thr position he plays being a battering inside midfielder.

Taking into fact that he is 30 years of age and it is an absolute grind each and every week in getting your body up most weeks.

I had similar thoughts about Marty Hore. HBF is a unique spot to play - he has put in some good performances over time in that spot. Consistency will be the key, I guess. 

Is Disco a chance to be nominated for the Rising Star this week? Has he already been nominated this season?

  • 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?
