Great mark Fritta. Also possibly the best quarter I've ever seen Chandler play.

That Spargo kick 😘.

Curtis is a worry. We haven't got a great match up for him.

 

Spanked in the middle, spanked on the outside, 6 points in front. 

I'll take it.

Christ Langford.  Had to kick that

Would have been a fair kick from Casey 😏

Bloody brave from Fritsch

Soft free to JVR. I’d be fuming the other way

Happened right in front of me. Clear free. Defender knew it straight away and threw his hands up in guilt.

 

Lucky North didn’t capitalise early in the qtr, Chin, Oliver, Rooter started well. 
things changed towards the end of the qtr, we seemed to take the game on more which is lovely to see.


Having Spargo and Salem deliver the ball inside 50 helps. Doesn't happen enough at the MCG.

Two sitters missed in the past three minutes 🤬

Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too.

A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training.

Just players having pings at goal in their own time.

A little bewildering if true.

Players with one disposal or less: Turner, Lever, Howes, and Jefferson with zero.

Really missing McVee and Windsor (amongst others of course).

That could have been a catastrophic 3 way injury to Fritta, Jeffo and Roo!

dodged a bullet.

Mistakes, poor pressure and woeful kicking for goal and we still finished the quarter ahead. 

Only need a 5% lift and we’ll blow this out of the water.

Rivers, Petracca, Gawn, Langdon all having shocking games. Four elite players who could turn up and give us a huge boost.

JVR misses a chest mark then missed one from 25m?

Terrible. He got a great block from a teammate.

Jefferson is like the baby of Watts and Weideman. Not great.

Looks hurt here, hope he's ok, but honestly subbing him out wouldn't be there worst.

Don't worry Pickett will kiss it better...

Boy I hate Demonland sometimes. 

Luckily the umpires are favouring us

Trac one contested touch and terrible kicking

We have plenty of improvement to come!

Just in case anyone forgot why Spargo is in the team and why we’ve missed him and someone like him, that pass into 50 to Langdon (?) is perfect evidence. 

Lowers the eyes, skilled, smart.

Nice pass by Salo at the end, too.

Better end to the game hopefully we run off from that. Nice to see Fritter on the board, too. 

Let’s go!!! 🔥

 


Gawn in for a hard days work with Xerri. Becoming a great ruckman and the next generation. Who will win? Love it

What was the reason for the First Quarter being so long, i can only follow scores on here today?

Yes but both take too long to get the ball moving. But agree  position kicks into F50 help

  • 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.
