We will now see what this playing group is made of in the next couple of weeks, if they lay down and give in or pull their socks up and take it up to the opposition. I would hope a lot of these players would have had a long hard look at themselves and got down to recovery and training to put in the extra yards, to look at the criticisms as a guide to what then now need to do. Last thing in the world I want to see is melbourne players thinking they have to run out and start biffing Bomber players next week and giving up free kicks and getting reported instead of out playing them on the ground. I really doubt there is much chance we will win next week, but i would like to seem the 22 Melbourne players put in and play a decent, hard competitive brand of football, and if we do loose, then hopefully it will not be by much.

    He walked in with Hogan.. I wonder what must be going through his head at the moment. I hope he is not thinking of going back to WA already.

    He might need a Melbourne girlfriend to keep him here....*cough*

    It is very difficult to pull up your socks if you don't have any on Deecisive.

    The painful fact is we have about 8 AFL standard players.

    As far as I'm concerned, pay Jack and Jesse whatever they want, they are our future.

    Obviously the current lot aren't capable of leadership, getting their hands dirty.

    Neeld overrated how pathetic these lads are when he drafted Dawes thinking it will help.

    I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but maybe he would've been better off using that pick on Ben Kennedy

    and taking Wines ahead of Toumpas - as classy as Toumpas is, he is a waste at this club.

    We need go-getters.

    This list is in for yet another massive shake up at years end.

    And whoever decided to recruit Tom Gillies should be sacked on the spot.

    Im 12 can's down and could still move quicker than that spud.

    Im kinda blown away that its down to him to not only perform but also motivate the side as an 18 year old. I know of at least one listed player who told a friend he thought jack was full of himself. that player should turn around and have a look at what Jack Viney brings to the table and emulate 30% of it.

    NSC, please who is this player? I understand if you don't mention their name but it's players like this that must go. Their attitude and any bitchy attitude will spread like poison.

    As for the AFL video posted, what's with Rory Taggert smiling as he walks in? Does he think he'll get a game vs. Essendon?

    I love the fact that Viney has the balls to step up and say something. What concerns me is if we keep putting up performances like this then guys like Viney/Hogan are not going to want to sign new contracts (Hogan particularly).

    We have serious issues and need quick smart reactions.

    I am amazed at Viney's maturity in this situation. For a first gamer to have an impact on and off the field like that is simply stunning. Future captain material without a doubt and also my pick for rising star.

    Backed him and Ollie for an absolute stack.

    Got Viney at $11's and Ollie at $16

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
