*sigh* 

Sadly, entirely true. 

But we have 2 of the top 5 best contested players in the comp in the same midfield, just need the outside polish to finish off the good work.

    What stood out most of all with Xavier was his vision and ultra quick release.  Amazing for a first gamer

    And that's not the sort of thing you do and then not do.  We've got a lot to look forward to with this lad

    Windsor and this bloke off half back will pay big dividends after they have played 50 games together.

    Your 50 games late it’s now they start to pay dividends more to come but both won’t be hb flankers all their careers.

    Having so many fwds ranked as they are in Chandler, Roo, Fritta and Jeffo not great. Well I give Jeffo more points and he scored twice as many goals as the other three combined.

    Windsor is just so polished. A delight to watch. And cool under pressure. 

    No matter where he gets the ball, it's like he's seeing things slow like that scene in the Matrix.

    About time we took a gippsland lad

    I was kind of hoping we took the gippsland trio of tauru, Lindsay and mentha , 2 out of three ain't bad 

    We should try and get our hands on more gippsland players like C serong, B humphries , Z duursma, T Papley, J Newcomb

    Lindsay looks like a great pick up and I’m feeling good about my sneaky wager I e got on him for the Rising Star award 

    But let’s just stick to best available rather than focusing on Gippsland only 😀

    I know the discussion around trading our first pick to the Bombers will come up, but even if it is a high pick I’m still comfortable with it. I genuinely believe he’s been the best performed draftee so far the first two rounds. He’s a gun player and probably could’ve been a top 5 pick in a normal draft year.

    And if Kalani White is any good, we'll get him for a second rounder...

    That’s why he should play in the CENTRE While he won’t solve ALL the problems his pace and kicking and skills will help the connectivity with the forward line,

    I was sold on him very early in the game after he'd put on 2 very clever shepherds to clear a path for a teammate. How many others do we have with those smarts?

    The rest of his game was a bonus, an enormous bonus.

    I agree , maybe he could teach a few of his teamates because it seems to me like they are not doing enough to protect the ball carrier.

    It’s a testament to him that he looked our most composed and skilful player on the weekend while also having the highest pressure rating

    Unfortunately it’s also equally as damning that our 10+ year veterans don’t seem to have the skill and polish of a two gamer 

    Anyway, he’s going to be an absolute gun for us, so who cares that the Bombers have our first round pick!

    agreed he does look a top 5 pick. Classy but Ive also been surprised by his toughness in the clinches. ultra competitive when the ball is in dispute.

    It's actually embarrassing to some of our senior players that he looks one of the most composed on the ground for us at the moment...

    Tx 58er. Although do you think he is strong enough and has the right body type to succeed as a classic in and under ball getter?

    I see him more as a wing type player.

    • 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.
