    6 rounds in and we are clear last on the ladder.

    Let that sink in. 

    Nathan Jones, Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis, Tom Mcdonald, Nev Jetta, and Hibberd should be embarrassed. 

    What a massive indictment on everything Roos and Jackson achieved. What a massive insult to the fans and what they've had to put up with.

    What a [censored] disgrace.

    Yep folks, we are now on the bottom.  Extraordinary, hardly believable.

    The results of this round have pushed us to last. Better?

    Totally agree. Years of being a basket case and getting top draft pick and where stone motherless last. Do club like Cats; Eagles, Hawks ever experience this humiliation. Shameful. As for Stephen May hang your head in shame

    These ANZAC Services on before games, after ANZAC Day are just not right. 

    Why does the AFL persist in such things?

    don’t over do it...

    With Easter and ANZAC Day so close this year it seems like everyone has taken the opportunity to treat the whole week as a holiday. The day (a solemn DAY of remembrance) has lost something with this continuation. Easter round was already long and drawn out. Thank goodness ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday next year.

    Rosee, Butters and Duursma all look like good pick ups for Port

    Three first round picks in the last draft! Looks like it’s transformed the team. I also note how well their no name backline played because they are organised and work as a unit. And we coughed up 3 first rounders for 2 key backs who can’t get on the park. Just an observation.

    Agreed. Anzac Day was just swamped this year.

    Well, in this month's edition of Ben Cunnington is a sniping *****, we have some kind of Marvel-inspired dance-attack elbow to the face of Brad Ebert.

    So... nearest the pin guesses what excuse the tribunal will find to downgrade it to a fine, or will he maybe even get a whole week this time?

    Following on from the whack Robbie Gray in the guts move that had him off the ground earlier in the game.

    Kids can play much earlier,  if they can find the space and time that suits them.   Always has been. 

    More space effectively makes the game feel a little slower for them, compared to the congested flood of last year. They can feel their way more naturally.

    Back in the 70's,  kids like Timmy Watson were playing VFL at 16Yrs of age,

     

    The AFL's cocked up timing of changes really stuffed us,  as we were building for the game style of the past 8 Years.

    Seems like an age ago already that I looked at our team and thought we could win the whole thing. That was frikn August. When I look now we seem fully a mile off even being a goodish, ordinary team. 

    In time we’ll find out exactly what happened in the summer of 18/19. I have a complex theory but it involves black magic and Voldemort.

    Brad Scott's thin skin shows again:  :.. admits that stinging criticism from club greats could become a distraction for his team..."  "But it’s a fact that it can become a distraction. Particularly when a club that prides itself on being really tight and really strong has people nipping around the edges."  Carey and King criticise North

    That is a startling admission and would imagine more distracting to his players knowing that their coach is taking on board what commentators say.  Commentators who are paid to create click bait. 

    King and Carey aren't giving worse than we got from the likes of Lyon and Schwartz for a few years. 

    Scott could learn a lot form Goodwin:  tell his team it is all 'fugazzi'!

    Unfortunately it’s only fugazi if you start winning games.

    • 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.

    • 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.
