Has a team ever won the Inside 50 count by 20 and had more Inside 50s than their score?

    There’s not many games that the umpires really impact!

    But they absolutely screwed the Demons tonight!

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Harmes killed all our momentum in the third quarter when he decided to go and hit a number of Port Adelaide players on the [censored].

    Lewis cooked.

    Tyson cooked.

    Fumbles.

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Oscar is nothing with Lever.

    Melksham and Tom McDonald couldn't buy a free kick.

    Hogan went missing.

    Jetta is a star.

    I'm not unhappy with our effort away from home.

    I thought we deserved to win but for the umpiring.. early it was the momentum stopping free.  Late it was 10 consecutive free kicks in the last quarter. 

    What else can we do?

    Four point to the AFL tonight. 

    That was as blatant as is gets

    We lack composure. We don’t make selections factoring in the opposition or the conditions. We don’t beat good teams.

    Great effort by most with poor execution. Needed to take our chances in the first half but couldn’t break them or the crowd. Two many that think they are better than they are. Hogan and Petracca time for your talent to be matched with intensity.

    Deserved to lose. 

    Taking out Spargo and not bringing in another crumber, having all those useless inside 50’s with no one to pounce, while Tyson comes in to do some bit part stoppage work in some sort of made up role is just nonsense. 

    Worst part is Port were awful.

    Don't care what anyone says, we were absolutely robbed by those [censored] maggots!!

    I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one. 

    Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear. 

    Losing Lever was the end of our season. 

    I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September. 

    A brave effort.

    Utterly disgusting umpiring

    But gee we do some stupid stuff, ie Oscar's 50m penalty when he was three weeks late, to pick one example

    With that loss and seeing as we can’t beat any team with talent and with the run home for other clubs below us I can’t see us getting near the eight now.

    If you follow the Socceroos and Melbourne you seriously need some good counseling.

    Lost that in the first half with so much wasted opportunity. We had them complete on toast but persisted with the long bomb inside 50 to a pack of 10 players system which NEVER works for us. Just dumb footy.

    umpiring sucked bad but we lost that ourselves

    • 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?
