Great half in terms of responding to a challenge. Lever down, Melksham and T. Smith are both carrying knocks. We really need to blow the doggies away in the 3rd. If we give them a sniff for the final qtr they might outlast us.

That's my worry. Need to blow them away. We'll run out of legs. AFL should not be giving us a 6 day break after NT.

    We're not playing well, but let's be realistic - we aren't going to play well every single week.  Some games will be a struggle.  It's how we respond that matters.

    After them kicking the first 3, having lots of cheap frees and winning the clearances, we showed the maturity to steady and kick 7 of the next 8.  Our older heads stood up, while Macca and Hogan stood up in the forward line.  We are cleaner, smarter and better, but allowing the Dogs to drag us down to their level.

    I'm still confident for the second half but it won't be a 10 goal win.

    what's going on with hibberd? fumbling and butchering the ball frequently today

     

    Midfield need to work harder on the clearances. That’s what’s keeping the dogs in the game.

    Gotta start getting on top in clearances. Do that and we will easy and take pressure off the backline without Lever. 

    Jetta is unbelievable. A beast!

    Lever a possible bone bruise (at best) or a lateral for 4 to 6 (at worst).  Done for the day if someone hasnt't already mentioned

    You reckon luck will go the way of the Dees ever? Get a kpp gun & goes down with injury ..,

    Lever update please have a heart attack here

    Is apparently walking in the rooms and most likely a bone bruise (maybe 4 weeks max at worst)....don't hold me to any of that though


    Good 2nd quarter.  Hope we keep it going. Jetta has been outstanding and have loved gawns tackling.  Keep it up boys

    [censored] I suppose better than the ACL! 

    Fingers crossed not too serious. 

    This is going to be a struggle. Dogs love to play boring low scoring rubbish. They have held us very well. With one down and 2 not fully fit, this will be a big ask. Especially off a short break. 

    51 point win coming up

    RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.


    Same knee that Lever had the reco on a few years ago.

    I dont think its gonna be good news. I hope Im wrong.

    The only positive thing is that we have an 8 day break coming up and then the bye.  Hopefully Lever may just miss a week and return after the bye.

    Umps have been pathetic. Almost like the AFL told them to make sure it’s a contest and not another trashing. 

    Tbh I've not really noticed the other two just the toerag Ray.

    How many frees does Ray Chmberlin pay when he is not central umpire?! Ridiculous [censored] amounts.

    Smith poleaxed in the back off the ball, no free.

    Jetta what a guy, steady the ship Neville.

    We look a little warn and sore but we should get up.

    You never now when Lucifer's big ass boot is gonna get lodged between our sticks RTG.  All we can do each day is hope to avoid the [censored] and if we can't, at least make sure it doesn't turn into a goal


    Listening to dogs fans they  r complaing about umpires.

    We can hope, but not unheard of to be walking after an acl.

    Fingers and toes.

    Razor is an absolute tool.

    Just hope we have enough petrol in the tanks to finish the second half well.

    • 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.
