from around half way through the last quarter Hawks looked like they were playing to save the game

Interesting if that is the case, not the usual Whorethorn. 

We can beat any side, if we are mentally ready for 4 Quarters of hard pressure.

    I hate to say it but hawthorn are playing good footy. Just glad to see girlong lose. If you mis the 8 girlong thats what you get for recruiting Ablett.

    slow delivery into the forward line... stopping and going backwards etc etc... you can say they were playing conservatively but they certainly did not have the risk pedal down

    Can we lose all three - and make it?

    mathematically

    A quick ladder predictor says yes. We can make it with 12 wins as long as Sydney and Geelong only win 1 (Sydney can win 2 if you include the game against us).

    Problem with Geelong now is they are following the 90's model instead of the 00's one.

    Their best six is as good as anyone in the league. Their bottom six, not so much.

    You get injuries to Ablett, Selwood, Hawkins or Dangermouse and they would be shagged to Gold Coast of last week levels.

    In the back. But it should have been holding the ball against him before the hawk landed on him.  Furthermore it was very soft - plenty of more obvious similar in-the-backs not paid.

    But it was Dangerfield....

    So tomorrow is just so important to win for many reasons but we need to get our spot back off the hawks. We are now 5th. 

    Gee I really hope the crows can knock off the giants tonight.

    Eagles and Port - think it’s another one of those Port to win if we want top four, Eagles if wanna make 8. 

    Gotta do Swans first. 

    Barrack for Power.

    Just saw a replay of the worpel contest against selwood that set up a goal. Good stuff by the young man. 

    Great stuff wasn’t it! Should be the RS nomination this week was unlucky not to get it last week.

    West Coast are looking like not much chop so far without their key players Gaff Kennedy and NicNat. We're a massive chance over there next week.

    Yes it wouldn’t suprise me at all if last week really rocked the Meth Coke boys. 

    Time will tell the story

    I'm aboard the "Top 2" bandwagon. I was just answering a question.

    Pretty clear early that James Harmes has to go to Elliot Yeo next week.

    If Port win today and we win the last 3 games, we will finish 2nd guaranteed.

    My god could you imagine if thats how the ladder ended up r23. Collingwood v melbourne at the mcg week 1. Im not sure I could handle that week. 

    I can't see port falling out. 

    On another note Id love to see Richmond v hawthorn in a final not the gf obviously but just to see how the hawks match up against them again.

    • 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?
