Oliver then, about to kick then handballs half a meter to Brayshaw... errrgggghhhhhhh

 

Terrible choice from Jones to go inboard in the back half with 20 seconds left under massive pressure.

    Alex Neal Bullen showing why why so many Melbourne supporters are clueless. The kid is a player so leave him to play.

    He always is. It’s weird.

    Dominate the quarter and only 3 points up. Typical.


    I am so tired of seeing every player from every team once they’re tackled being so confident they’ll brush them off and no be pinged for holding the ball. It’s happened so much this weekend it’s not funny

    Is it me, or do the Blues always seem to drag us down to their level when we play them?

    Need to snap out of the funk and create a break in the score line then ram it home.

    I missed what happened with that quarter time Carlton goal. It looks to me Gawn got a hand to a poor kick from the point of the mark. Can someone please explain what happened and why he was given a 50m penalty?

    oncetheshot on goal was smothered, quarter ends, how can they get a 50?

    Max jumped forward over the mark.

    Carlton are so bad.  They are doing nothing but going the man after every contest and finding cheap goals.  We are 4 times the side they are.  We just need to settle and put it on the scoreboard.  They won't go with us for 4 quarters.

    The 50m decision was absolute rubbish and what Max did is what every player does each time they're on the mark.  Outrageous decision.

    15 to 8 inside 50s but only a nose in front. 

    Definitely need to tidy up I50 usage. 

    And care to avoid too many 50 s

    Easy, he jumped over the mark, not matter if the siren is gone, he can’t jump forward.

    • 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.
