If anyone has come to the conclusion that Jordan Lewis is to blame for this then you need some serious psychotropic medication.

Although it is an expedient thing to have a whipping boy.

Another possible interpretation?

He’s having a shocker and he’s not on his own

    This is a very seasoned west coast side. 12 of them played in a GF. They have done their time. This is part of us doing ours.

    Much like the Pies last night all the bounces just seem to be going WC’s way. It’s the factor that you can never control.

    Could be a dangerous last quarter for Meth Coast.  They just want to preserve themselves.

    The game is gone, but I just really want us to physically hurt these FCKERS.  On the context of modern football history, I hate West Coast much, much more than I do Collingwood.

    That was a free to Smith in the goal square ....clearly pushed in the back after he kicked the goal.

    Brayshaw sums it up....

    We've bullocked our way through teams without a lot of polish, but turn up the heat and we sorely lack outside speed and clean hands

    We must recruit this in

    The most graceful thing Lewis could do would be to just King hit Nicholls and walk off.

    Nathan Jones and Lewis absolutely horrendous today. Jones 8 touches in 3 quarters (again goes missing) and Lewis has been so dumb it is alarming. Gawn 6 touches, Tyson and Milkshake 8 each, Weid and Frost way out of depth

    At least they haven’t extended their lead. I’ll take that at this point.

    Bounce of the ball is the least of our worries. We were smashed around the ball in the first half, fumbled, tackled with our arms instead of with the body...an all round diabolical half of football.

    To the melbourne fans that flew to perth well done on braving it out. My god I could not imagine how bad it would be for you all. 

    West Coast better bring the same intensity and pressure next week or I else I will be annoyed. 

    They just look so much bigger when they have Darling and Kennedy up there.

    Just not our day but at least we managed to kick some goals.

    I would enjoy giving that fat [censored] McGovern a bigger corkie. 

    Also Darling could use an accident smack to the head.

    Totally agree been in the comp for two minutes and have been perennially successful. To see their supporters swanning around like they are on vacation make me pewk. I guess it what we deserve but they know how to rub it in.

    Thanks for trotting out the meaningless cliche, but by definition, luck is literally the bounce of the ball, being the thing I was referring to. Or do you think Darling’s skill ‘made’ that bounce?

    Exactly. It’s still been a very good and very productive season. Bring on 2019! ??

    You just could not expect that we would completely capitulate at every contest, every clearance, every forward entry, every defensive mark, every... thing, basically. It's almost farcical how much has gone wrong today.

    Reminds me of the disastrous GF against Essendon 

     

    Who was it retiring and went out with a bang?

    The aftermath of today will be crucial. The Club has to be tough on this. This preformance cannot be repeated. 

    We know what happens when it does

    Tough, yes, but also it needs to be a considered approach. By all means the point needs to be made that today’s performance is not worthy of a PF for a spot in the GF, but there needs to be constructive learnings come out of this to help us progress further, as opposed to overwhelming the playing group as a result of a day where we were overwhelmed, that would see us go backwards.

    its a bad end to a positive season, with 2 enjoyable finals wins, but the playing group need to attack pre-season with a hunger for more finals wins.

    Shows how important top 4 is.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
