I agree with negatives

I agree with positive for Gawn Viney Harmes

but but but

Hogan !! No way. Half hearted.  Appealed for frees. Two soft free kicks for goals. No contested marks. Missed a goal in the last. Going at the ball one handed. At least 4 slipped missed tackles

Salem also well down 

No Fritsch?? His class was apparent

Fritsch was good Norm and certainly if i watched the replay i might change my view.

From where i am sittingbehind punt road goals i missed much of the play up the other end so my votes probably lack accuracy and clarity at times.

I just saw Hulk as doing what was expected (mostly in the 2nd half) and getting back to something resembling a CHF role.  Regardless of how they were presented him he did kick 3.  Missed a few tackles yes but also thought he brought a bit of pressure inside 50 with some tackles that stuck (probably the only one of any note) and got himself involved in a fair number of chains around the ground that also resulted in us scoring.   His handballs away from congestion to players free was also pretty accurate vs others who seemed to be selling their team mates into trouble a fair bit resulting in a stack of ruined transitions and too many turnovers.

Hogan needs to lift.  He cannot just throw his hands up and expect free kicks.

Bottom line from today is that he kicked one goal , missed another crucial shot in the last and was gifted two goals.  He needs a crumber like Garlett or Spargo to help.

It will come as no surprise that Maxy got full marks for his inspirational performance yesterday. Truth be told, nobody else came close to the mark with his influence on the game (unless you include the three blind mice who officiated)

  • 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?
