Loved the comments from the Foxtel commentators late in the match when one of them said something to the effect that Melbourne are well and truly on the road to recovery. Then, one of the others responded with something like "Yeah, and it's a massive, six lane freeway...!"

    Yep, the style of play i watched last night reminded me so much of the charge to the finals in 1987. This side could be way better in time.

    Agree. Our game last night showed similar flair and confidence, but the 2010 version is more talented.

    A six lane autobahn straight from goal to goal, with no detours. We owned the corridor last night. When Brisbane dared enter, they were slammed by 1, 2, or 3 Melbourne players, or there was a spoil as they moved forward. Yeeha!

    The next step is to tighten up a bit more defensively. I'm not talking about the backline. When the other team hesitates out wide, we've got to get a little better at shutting down the zone and moving in for the kill. Far better to force a boundary throw in than have to defend the long bomb at the top of the square.

    Two more exciting quotes from yesterdays match;

    "The young and exciting dees!"

    &

    "The transition Kings!!" The transition KINGS!!! I loved that!! We havent been the Kings of anything over the last couple of years.. now all of a sudden we are the transition kings!! GOTTA LUV THAT ONE!!

    How good is it? All of a sudden we are taking hydro spas and cooling down after wins etc... we havent had this much good publicity for a while.. what else, I can say I support the dees without the inevadiable sigh that usually accompanies that statement.... bloody beaut!

    Love it- Anyone watching 7? See the highlights package- Bruce, overcommits on the handball, goes over recievers head- fortune has it that the ball bounces correctly and receiever runs right onto it- but this would still show up as an 'efficient stat', and this is what people are talking about...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
