Bit harsh on Bowey and Langdon Joeboy. I thought they were clearly our best two.

Problem is .... you're both right...

They might have been our best.... but they were quite ineffective in the greater scheme of things.


Bowey was our best.

Good summary per usual JB.

You mentioned the very few God efforts so it's nice to see some positives.

Jvr had gone so far backwards and having an anti break out year. More like a breakdown year.

But we are in serious trouble with marque players serving up some of that.

Fritta is really on the fritz.

And yes Sparrow just keeps plodding along. For five or six years now. Surely after all this time and little effort we can play someone else.

Petty now failing in his old role as well.

May gets a mulligan in his first game.

Billings should be billed half his salary back.

And I love Rivers but he's caught the I've forgotten how to play big as well.

I thought Salo was your only error.

Max...I just love the bloke too much to criticize but suffice to say he's had always been a barometer of the club each game.

Milkshake will be back. See May.( Mulligan,)

And young Lindsay is just heartbreaking for the kid.

But again it's the big names with big salaries and experience that sem to be the issue.

Goody...Check your contract

100% agreement joe boy.

Agreed geriatric Dee.

Sorry I've probably taken that way too far.

You can spell the last word in my username with B of it makes you feel better.

But JB was pretty dope on.

My only detractions would be Salem and Fritta. The latter just a little because he certainly improved and got his hands on the more and increased his tackle count of only two to a lot more from his previous ones of zip. The only issue being his once very realable kicking at goal has kicked the bucket.

Perhaps a sequel of Daniel Day Lewis's film of "My left foot."... to 'My inaccurate foot."

But the team as a whole was atrocious. I forced myself to watch as much of the replay I could physically stomach and it looked worse

It really seemed like a training.match with a team with no games under their belt v a team that had a dozen.

Constant unforced skill errors , terrible accuracy by foot, endless handballs missing their targets and fumbles galore.

And the main problem being this was mostly being done by our more " seasoned players". In fact many of these highly paid veterans looked more clumsy with the ball than a high school boy fiddling with his Beau's undergarments in the back of his 60 Chevy.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
