greatest game of  the year so far. glad swannies got the chocolates. gives us better chance of getting in the 8 which is so tight at the moment 

Beating Carlscum by 109 pts is the game of the year.

    I'm less concerned about top 4 now. We had that chance and blew it. Far more concerned about finals itself, which that loss goes some way to helping. 

    Besides, it's just so, so good to see Norf lose. Scott is a massive [censored].

     Agreed.

    At any rate, Collingwood, Port and Sydney all have tough runs home (Port's gets even tougher if they somehow can't beat Fremantle today):

    1. Collingwood - North, Richmond, Sydney (away), Brisbane, Port, Fremantle (away)
    2. Port - GWS, Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (away), Essendon
    3. Sydney - GC, Essendon (away), Collingwood, us (away), GWS (away), Hawthorn

    Of course, our run home is just as hard, but our destiny remains in our hands. And you never know, with those three sides having runs home like that, if we can outperform what we all think we're going to achieve (i.e. we get past 13 wins), we could go up on the ladder (I doubt it, personally).

    I assume there will be some inevitable posts re: 'how did we lose to port' - similarly those who thought the first half against the dogs were awful. 

    To me - this game/ the cats loss, richmonds loss, hawthorn etc -  shows how close the competition is, and how mere percentages 'off your game' or at times 'luck' means you win, or get smashed... 

    It's elite sport, it's tough and the margins are always small... 

    AND - I really like what Roos, Goodwin and PJ et al, are building towards...and it may not be 2018...

    ahhh, can't please some  :)

    week to week - small things change for the individuals, the coaches, the systems and it becomes cumulative. how else can we account for such massive discrepancies in form lines between what are seemingly teams who are so far apart... bris/hawth, melbs/saints etc etc

    Must be both Freo and us playing in Darwin last weekend!  ?

    We both seem to have defied the script by bouncing back instead of losing due to fatigue and insufficient recovery time!

    Wow dockers, what a weekend. Watts’ one handed tackles still exist. Softest front runner of the last 10 years

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
