A percentage boost and we moved a game clear of Geelong and Hawthorn.

Bring on the Handbaggers next Saturday.

    Gawn and Oliver take a freaking bow. A quarter and a half of good footy though. JKH did ok down back after early stage fright. Brayshaw a little wasteful. A win plus % when Cats n Hawks lost so a big day for our Dees.

    Great to win especially after playing in NT last week but the turnovers are killing us. 

    We cant keep turning it over against the better teams cause they will make us pay big time. 

    Lucky there is time still to work on it.

    Gus is a gun. Awesome second half. Hogan fantastic. Oliver a champ. Gawn magnificant.

    A few passengers exposed.

    Hope jack is back next week.

    Job done eventually.

    Some of the best footy we've played for quite a while, hope we can take it forward, will need all we can next week down at Geelong.

    Bummer that we lost the Saints game. Would be sitting second now.

    Maxy was unbelievable. 

    If he doesn’t win the Brownlow there is something wrong.

    Next week will be the acid test.

    If we give a good account of ourselves (not even necessarily win), then I reckon we are on our way to September. We stink the joint up and we are a 40/60 proposition at best.

    The Doggies, like Freo, are playing a skeleton team right now. No Bont or Libba are really testing them. However, you can only play the opposition in front of you, and I was impressed after half time.

    I’m frustrated. 

    I wanted to gouge my eyes out until Oliver started hitting chests inside 50. Is it that [censored] hard?

    Excellent games by Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw and Hogan. 

    Opposition were rubbish. I need to see us beat a good team.

    Anyone know the situation with Viney's toe? How bad is it?

    “Won’t see him until later in the year” they said on the coverage.

    They provided a good hitout for a half. Pressure was very good. Witches hats in the second.

    Funniest part of the game for me was when Brayshaw got dacked in a tackle and there was a full moon in the middle of the MCG.

    Kennedy-Harris has 7 or 8 tackles I think which is good but didn’t do much else imo. 

    Given his vfl form I was expecting more  

    Not sure if he keeps his spot next week.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
