Alright lets build up a great lead then take our good players off towards the end. 

Bring it home well Melbourne 

 

from the AFL site

at least one positive from this mess:

Christian Petracca recorded quarter-highs for disposals (12), contested possessions (nine) and clearances (four). He was the only player to record more than one kick (four) at an efficiency of 100 per cent.

    We actually need to kick a swag of goals considering what is happening in Hawks dogs and considering north will win by 1000 points tomorrow

    Glad the dinner party I’ve been hosting has just finished and I’ve missed having to witness that scoreline


    Just now, —coach— said:

    Are north playing Frankston?

    They're glad they're not

    Great kick inside 50 from Billy Stretch there.  More of that would be great.

    ANB misses a sitter.  Anyone surprised?  I'm not.

    Nibbler doesn’t deserve to hold his spot on this form.

    ANB is trying his hardest to prove his defenders wrong.

    Sh|| t ! Really??? The wevver forecorst (say in tony grieg voice) said 25(ish).

    start pulling players to rest!!

    I know his opponent isn’t a world beater, but Frost has been very very good


    I notice Jones is getting caught a lot more this year. He's just that tad bit slower now. I fear the end might come for him a bit quicker than we though.

    is garlett still on ??? or just having a quiet one again

    He's kicked a goal and everyone said that was enough 

    My love for BF is huge, so many modern players would have tried to milk that high contact, he is just getting on with things, such a ball player.

     

    ANB golly ... cant hit a barn let alone a door!

    Get off Neal Bullen

    • 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.
