Miles took on a tackler...beautiful tackle.....drops ball. Play on.  Umpires refuse to pay against the Toiges more often than not!  Awful

    Bugg grabbing at his hip. I think he copped a bad corky from the blonde Tigers scumbag.

    Bugg injured in that mark.   Hobbling off.  Suspect a bad corkey with player laying knees in late

    Cssey's on-ball brigade make a no name on-ball brigade sound like rockstars.

    Which is why equating their performance with Melbourne's idiotic.  But I knew it wouldn't stop some.

    A lot of AFL-listed players in there for Tigers, aren't there?

    Was that you clapping on the half forward flank when Bugg hobbled off with a corkie?

    Pedersen... excellent first quarter but not much so far in the second

    To be fair it hasn't been down as often as the first and the delivery's been pretty ordinary under a lot more pressure....or just ordinary!

    Not quite. 

    Does anyone want to list Casey's midfield today ?

    Our skills are deplorable. Looking over the whole list, we might only have a small handful of players that know how to dispose of the footy.

    I might have misunderstood. I'm hearing some names of players that have played a lot of senior footy in the AFL, and that have good futures. Bolton, Markov... and some other like Miles who get no love. They're no names in the AFL... but in the VFL?

    As for us, yeah, a lot of NQRs.

    Did they play for Cssey ?

    You may need to read my post again.

    Apart from Pedders working for it, our big men do not take enough marks around the ground to provide any relief against the tide and are too easily pushed off the ball.  No physical presence.  No big grabs.

    Hannan good early but two turnovers looking to go inside this quarter.  Bugg a horrid one in the first.

    Nice work from Munro, Spargo and JKH for the finish there for the goal against the run.

    spot on RN.  this a is a demons issue, club wide.

    We have to look to getting some centre-line players who are strong in the air,,, as well as with the legs, and feet.

    If we are leaking a [censored] tonne of goals in both senior and reserve teams then something isn’t working in the game plan

    I don't think Our game plan is solidified just yet.  WE seem to be searching and adjusting, nip here tuck there to see which balance suits us.

    I expect more experimenting this season as we churn our list, introducing more into the senior team.

     

    I think we will make the lower part of the top just.  we are still in a transition phase, Re list and maturity.

    We at Melbourne do not value midfield marking anywhere near enough. we look for runners only.

    Midfield marks are crucial to ease pressure, and to reset play, going into 50.

    I'm hoping this will eventually be Weide's forte.

    After 11 years of not making finals we are in transition phase and stil trying to work on our game plan? When is your plan for making finals, 2028?

    And BTW it would be good to have players with legs and feet. Do you think before posting?

    True...was not meaning it as a criticism.

    Tigers look to be bigger bodied.

    Since half way through the first quarter tigers have been by far the better side.

    Maynard, Bugg, Hannan, JKH. Our senior players and they all butcher the footy. Our list severely lacks class.

    Yep... I see a lot of sausages out there TK but not much sizzle.

    Not enough run either.  Apart from Hannan and Gent the run seems to be lacking that would help stretch the opp and use their energy up chasing us instead of too much the other way

    • 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?
