In all seriousness, without carrying on, if this happens again next week is Goodwin gone?

Should be tonight…

    My 41 week pregnant GF in labour would be a better option of Half Back than Rivers or Salem at the moment.

    As they say, good delivery is all about knowing when to push forward with the momentum and knowing when to take the pressure off.

    Hopefully the labour doesn't result in the nightmare rip from hole to hole like today's game has.

    In a related note, the strange creature living in my wife's belly got more kicks during this game than most of the Demons did. Contrast couldn't be sharper because little one really lifted after half time.

    11-19 free kicks.. questionable frees. However we have been terrible. Fumbling all quarters.

    JFC the skills are just putrid.

    Reverse the jersey and that's a ballup.


    If we win a game this year I will be absolutely gobsmacked. There’s something terribly wrong with this team.

    I’m actually curious as to what Goodwin is going to say about this. You surely can’t dish out platitudes after THIS.

    Actually scratch that. He’ll talk about how good the Suns were and how we have to get better.

    It’s the senior players letting us down here.

    It's telling right? They don't believe or care for their coach.

    He should say I am resigning, but he won't. So time for the club to man up and sack.

    feels like Melbourne pre Peter Jackson and Paul Roos.

    Anyone else reckon Aiden Johnson can play,??dreadful, dropped chest mark,Slow!

    There’s no leadership though - how / who can make a call on the coach?

    The President is confirmed as only seeing out this season.

    We have only an interim CEO with the new CEO to be confirmed in APRIL FFS.

    I wouldn't even say the suns pressure is elite but they are causing us to panick and become desperate with our disposals.


    A ten goal loss. Someone needs to answer to this.

     

    Just so many basic things we’re botching. Fumbles, tackles don’t stick…just not switched on and holding ourselves to high standards. Or even middling standards.

    Underwhelming Van Rooyen, junk time goal, see you at Slthera central next week with Johhno and Fritta

    • 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?
