Obviously this is the round of the celebration game disappointments.

Last night, the Blues celebrated Mick Malthouse's record of 715 games and lost by 13 goals.

Today, North Melbourne celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first premiership and lost by 10 goals.

Tomorrow, Freo celebrates the departure of Colin Sylvia. They're in trouble.

    It will be a draw... we're celebrating Watts' 100th game.

    No chance Hodge will be available to play against us and Lewis is a maybe. What was with that goal review that clearly hit the post but they called it a goal?

    The first one from 30 out that hit the left post, or looked like it did, wasn't conclusive enough so they went with umpires decision. It looked like it hit from one angle, but I dunno if it did for sure.

    The one on the goal line that hit the goal umpires arm then the post amazed me, I can't believe common sense prevailed after that Eddie Betts NAB goal. Finally.

    Is it just me or does there seem to be far more score reviews at Etihad than anywhere else?

    I agree for the one when it hit the umpire. The other one I am 100% sure it hit the post and it looked verry obvious to me from the down the ground view.

    It's a bit like the war between Iran and Irak in the 80s. Nobody cares much who wins.

    Yes, because talking about a game of football is indicative of performance during war. I'm sure half a million dead from Iran and IraQ would back you up on that one WJ.

    I usually have respect for your posts WJ. Not this time.

    Essendon get lucky again because Schneider can't kick a goal from 10m out directly in front.

    Jesus Port always get charity from the umps. Sick to death of seeing the favouritism shown to other clubs.

    • 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?
