Trippled down on the forward pressure.  Think that dam will burst. 

Brayshaw a worry imo, hopefully he works into it.

19 inside 50’s to 13 yet we’re trailing.. has been the story of the year

Can we get one for Composure ?

Composure = experience.

Positive energy. Tigers are better but we are in this. Umpires are fine. Stop bleating it’s embarrassing.

Happy that Stretch gets a go this week but yes he needs to show something on the outside.

Nibbler gets a go because we saw the stats, numerous pressure acts, distance covered, contests made, etc the stats that the coaches love.

Frost out because there isn’t a matchup

Weeds in, hasn’t done enough yet, I think

it should have been Pedo tall again forward. 

Jeffy in because he does perform if the side/game plan performs. He needs space and time against one opponent and will win every time. 

I called it STRETCH HARMES NEAL BULLEN NOT UP TO IT and have said so time and again when will this club ever learn

GARLETT a lazy footballer

Hogans kick from 50 hit the top of the post. Thats encouraging. Lever done well under pressure. Inside 50s are great but its never on a open break. Opponents always have numbers back

 

Get numbers goal side and at least one front & square of the contested marks and not so many up! 

The last goal to the Tiges they had 3 loose men goal side of the mark at FF!  Zero us!  They ran off at will and shared...too easy.

Great D efforts by Hibb, Omac & Lever so far.

Hunt still going up for marks when he shouldnt potentially contributed to a goal against.  Good running effort but sloppy disposal.  Most sloppy coming i50 but they are under a stack of pressure

They are killing us with their spread as they move out forward. They are virtually waltzing it into their 50 when they get their opportunities, whereas our entries look rushed and are giving our forwards no quality entries.

This has clearly been our main issue for the year, as we have recorded the most amount of inside 50's in the comp, yet cannot capitalise on them.

A little composure (a lot of composure) is needed. We are lucky nothing has really come from some of our sh!thouse turnovers.

We have coaches for near everything...

Can we get one for Composure ?

If we had composure we would be 3 goals up. Both teams lacking composure at this stage and it is just looking like aerial ping pong. 

Keep up the pressure for another 3 quarters and we can win this game of footy.  Easier said than done, but we can do it.

Impressed with Weideman in the first term.  Really positive start to the night.


We are the worst fist on ball team. Somehow we always hit it to disadvantage.

Defensive set ups need work. Wheres the player goal side of the pack


Classic Melbourne, 4 players up for the ball and none stay down

Salem needs to wake up.

 

Richmond 21 v Melbourne 11 in case you were wondering.

  • 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?
