I must be watching different game to Martin. Hunt has been disappointing. 

Pedo taking a lot of one grab marks and using bulk. Weird and smith both good forward. Gus has been fantastic, I was critical last week but this week our best midfielder.

    Gus worked into the game in the latter part of the second quarter but I don’t think he has been the best mid. He’s getting held and scragged a lot though.

    Baker with 14 touches is he giving a lot of run and carry?

    Doing well

    Old dee when weideman is in the ruck is he holding his ground well and he had a limited pre season does it look like hes blowing out at the end of the half?

    Just spoke to the bloke who is supposed to be calling the game for Casey FM (They thought they might go live in the second half but are still not operational) He was very impressed with Baker.

    We are lucky in this country.

    By co incidence found myself sitting next to a few players and their families.

    No one bothers them. Great to see

    Hunt has been good, not great. Still too good for this. I am a huge Brayshaw  fan am bitterly disappointed hes out of the team.Working into it under heavy duress but to say he has been 'fantastic' is fanciful. I hope he is by game's end.

    Ah no.... Just posting what is happening about 10 metres in front of me

    Weideman is apparently rucking well, has kicked 4 and given one off to Balic, but you say he has "no physical presence".  At the same time you pump up a bloke you want in the team.  A 30 year old who should be doing OK at this level, but offers next to nothing as a key forward at AFL level.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
