Brogan's kicking is keeping Fergeson's career alive.

Wheatley is just about the only player, who is playing for his career, that has actually shown something this year. Bizzell has been serviceable and will probably be kept for depth but hasn't been able to push into the best 22 like Wheatley has.

    Robbo with his second from a nice pass from buckley, mclean should of had a free earlier from his tackle, the gut took him on and after ages finally kicked it, robbo off, looked proppy after earlier tackle.

    Cornes kicks his 4th.

    Much better quarter so far. Hopefully we can actually have a solid attempt at snatching the lead, not just hanging in there and playing out time like against Brisbane.

    What annoys me is if we played like this from the start we'd be right in the game. I know that Port has dropped off but that's largely because we have started to actually apply a bit of pressure. Nathan Brown seems to be doing a bit.

    Another open goal...great.

    We work so hard for a goal and then they just torp it long and run into an open goal.

    Jones passes to Newton who will kick from 45.

    4 inside 50s for Jones.

    If he doesn't get a rising star nomination then...[censored]

    NEWTON SCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (I didn't actually think he could kick it that far)

    A positive: Godfrey has kept S.Burgoyne to six touches and hit Robbo lace-out off his right foot.

    A negative: the Old Skipper has had his hands on the pill only once.

    Another positive: contrary to the scoreline the Dees won the I-50s 30/26.

    Another negative: the Skipper-in-Waiting has had one kick.

    Jones, White, Wheatley, Newton (for what time he has been on), sylvia (mainly first half) have been good,

    green in patches

    mclean got better second half

    junior not overly effective

    brown and bate have got a few touches but not very effective, brown needs to keep his feet. the other thing is burgoyne has been more effective than him.

    neitz has competed ok but done nothing

    bruce looks like he has missed a few games,

    Holland not too bad

    Bell has done ok but some disposals average

    fergs, miller no good

    frawley, ward unsited

    moloney has not had a influence.

    They dropped Carroll and PJ, and as I suspected, we've loaded our forward line because we have too many immobile talls. Pathetic pre-match selection.

    Miller and Holland as back-up ruckmen when we have two perfectly fit ruckmen at Sandy. Logic?

    Carroll in the VFL when our backline is getting murdered. Logic?

    Dunn and CJ in the VFL when we can't hit a target. Logic?

    The scoreline flatters us. We deserve to be 10 goals behind the way we're playing.

    Jones, Newton and the return of Belly the only highlights. Godfrey doing a good job too.

    P.S.- NEITA IS NOT FIT. DON'T PLAY HIM!!!!

    Certainly leaves us with a few questions over the selections made for today, the only conclusion i can come to is that we made selections based on bolstering Zebra's and the increasing the opportunity of have having a four peat! :rolleyes:

    • 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?
