spargo is so overrated here 

He is one player that has a red hot crack every time he is in which is more than you can say for others but he is just too small and limited which is a shame

    And JKH hasn’t been as bad as some say. Can see some of Neville Jetta in him. Could be our next small defender.

    I've got my annual Breaking Bad rewatch on one channel with the Dees on the other (muted of course). Far less stressful. Some kind of zen has come over me since last week, clearly.

    We're playing poorly, so is Adelaide, but we're worse. Adelaide is seriously average, and if we lose this, so are we.

    We can win this. Midfield must dominate more.

    Nothing like Nev. 

    Not strong in the contest

    Not strong over head

    Literally [censored] himself if he has the ball and there is opposition within 5 meters

    Cant kick

    Only still in it because Adelaide are so ordinary. Any half decent tem would be 6-8 goals up already. I'm officially over Garlett, delist. Petracca is the ultimate built like Tarzan plays like Jane, not a footballers [censored]

     

    Oscar is doing quite well considering Jenkins is a lot stronger.

    Brayshaw, Oliver, ANB, TMac and Gawn are our top 5 players so far. Hard fought match, we are right in this.....fighting hard Dees. Good to see.

    [censored] you Melbourne with your [censored] typical shot on goal on the siren. 

    [censored] your tackling. [censored] your softness. [censored] your defensive efforts. Argh!!!! 

    We’re not playing well but effort is there. Had we kicked straight we’d be in front so relax. A lot of nerves out there, ball is hot and slippery

    So lucky.  We were so fumbly and rushed.  They dominated us in the first.  We should not still be in it, but we are. Maggots-my god they are one sided.  Gotta switch up at half time

    We might get investigated for tanking playing JKH, Smith and Spargo.....

    Everyone's complaining about JKH, Garlett, Spargo, and Smith. I'm over here wondering when Jesse Hogan is going to show up.

    Only 7 points down, come on Dees now is the game to guts out a [censored] n tough hard up against win.

    Umpires setting a new standard for worst umpiring of the year.  Two first half goals to the Crows from marginal RUBBISH, Zero to us.  That deliberate out of bounds against Smith was a shocker, has been half a dozen worse sense from Adelaide that haven't been paid and in front of goal.  This stuff really makes me mad.

    Hogan's trade value decreasing with each week.

    I feel like we were on top for most of that quarter, Adelaide got gifted a couple of goals from the umps and we missed some very getable opportunities (JKH, Harmes, Garlett). 

    But certainly Max came into the game more, as did Brayshaw, Clarry, and Petracca (although he wasted it a couple of times). 

    We’re well and truly in it, but we’ve got to start taking our chances. Kicking goals is how you silence the crowd. 

    Are we 10 goals down and I am unaware? Any positives? It’s a tight tough game. We are having a crack. They look better structured forward and moving the ball out of stoppage are cleaner than us. Well in it if we get cleaner and take our chances as they tire. If we are going to be critical Jones and Hogan need earn their pay in the second half. Both been poor.

    Spud vs Spud makes for a fascinating contest.

    With how our tackling is going, maybe it’s time to try Vanders. I can’t imagine he’d be worse than Tyson who is like a snail out there.

    • 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.

      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.
