Chocolates to boiled lollies, is there another team in world sport as pathetic as us. I'm now convinced that we will never win a flag in my life time. Seriously mentally weak!!!!!!!

Oscar Mc Turbo is In!!?

It is difficult to be at a footy match at the moment, with OMac selected.

Not sure if we can take another dependency ride on his incomparable idleness at a snail's pace.

It was an effort in score minimisation. His coaching performance against Richmond reflected a coach with zero confidence in the potential for a win. 

That says a lot about our leadership atm. 

Regretfully, the leadership is missing and the waning confidence is really the only thing we are likely to see, this year. Its consequences are already on the ladder and are there, to stay. We need to send out - right around the country - emissaries who work in tandem (for confirmatory purposes on a recruit) to identify and nab talent wherever it may lie. The profiles of a great recruiting drive are widespread but we can all imagine just what such personnel will possess - and what limitations they will exhibit. This needs to be matched with a more sustained and in-depth player development process including onfield exposure in our re-building processes and timeframe.

Ha! What makes anybody think we're going to beat Hawthorn?

Never in doubt, ya muppet.

Childish response to a legitimate concern that lingers year in and year out. Two wins for the year is well under par for our Team and its playing stocks so an expression and encouragement for assurance or investment in the short-term future may reduce the stroke count significantly.

At any rate, I am delighted with the win today as are many who had earlier concerns of this game. However, one rainbow a successful year does not make and if left as an isolate, the short-term future might well look glum as well. My shame, by the way, is reserved for far weightier matters on occasion and cannot be judged by those pre-occupied with labelling theories. Good night.

  • 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?
