ANB has been one of our best, only forward applying pressure.

Garlett, Bugg and Kent need to be working harder to punish their own fumbly defenders. IMO both backlines are a liability today. They have just taken their chances.

It's remarkable that Goodwin gets out-coached most weeks. Inexperience?

Yes, and coaching against the best in the business.  This will be a good test for him in the second half.

Raining heavily again...

 

Here we go...

 

It’s raining non-stop here now at the G. Hope we can play with that in mind and just move the ball forward. Let’s be clever Dees!

Frustrated, not worried.  We have done plenty right, we just haven't taken our chances as yet.  When we do, like we did in the first term, then we'll be back on top and in control of the match.

And that's what could cost us the game. Footy is a game of momentum more than ever before. If you don't capitalise when you're dominant you tend to loose the close ones against even teams. You won't keep getting chances to miss, eventually Hawthorn will have their time in the sun. We've won the inside 50s both quarters and are behind. Extremely concerned.

Before the game, I thought to myself the only way Hawthorn would win would be if we fluffed our chances and they nailed theirs. Not feeling good at the moment. 

I agree we’re definently not out of it and can still come back. It’s a long way from over, but how can you not be worried? We looked awful that quarter

Someone organise The forward line ffs

Hogan starts deeper pls and plays in front.  Jeffy front & square.  Kenty leading out.  Clear everyone else out and away from designated space / fat side with multiple leads

positives, Fritsch

...and McEvoy punched in the head by his team mate

Can we swap coaches ?


Well lets see if a Miracle can happen l am open to it.

When are they going to teach Max how to kick straight. Exactly the same error as against the Cats. Surely it is not that difficult to adjust. Our decline third quarter directly stemmed from that....

Goodwin is a bad coach. While having talent on tap he has taken us backwards. He seems to have a bright idea every week that confuses the players. If we win it will be because of the players and not because of his inventive tactics.

Hawks want it more, simple as that.


hahahahahahahahahahaha

Cooked


Any chance of a forward getting in front

FFS 

 

How was that not 50m on clarry....

  • 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.
