    We look great with extra 4 days break. 

    Long long road but will take over those AFL protected maggots.

    Absolutely! He looks dangerous whenever he gets near the ball, and when he doesn't have it, he's working for it. Lots to like, big future.

    He is the small forward we need at the moment. Tackles hard, is confident enough to go up the ground and has footy smarts. I like his hard edge

    great win dees, jones & harmes really stood up when the team needed them to. 

    i've been telling my mates all week to keep the faith but they all chose to throw in the towel. glad i stayed strong. 

    hopefully this is not another false start and we really can get going this season. 

    up the mighty demons!!!!!!!!!!

    Winning move; They benched OMAC for that last minute

    pfft, even after a desperate one-goal season-on-the-line win you want to snipe?

    For what it is worth (and I know Oscar had a few hairy moments as always),

    O. McDonald. 8 kicks, 6 marks (1 contested), 100% disposal efficiency, 0 clangers, and 10 one-percenters.

    He did his job. Nothing special or super, but he did his job.

    Story of the win really - a bunch of players who have been in seriously bad form were able to come out and at least do 'enough'.

    Best examples would be Nibbler, Hunt, Stertch and O.Mc himself.

    Meanwhile, a couple of players seemed to actually find some of their better form, led by Harmes and Hibberd obviously.

    Wanna hear something funni. 

    Eddie spaghetti said the umps were good today. 

    WTF

    What game was he watching. 

    Dumb arz 

    The umps did everything to help Whoreform - even break the rules of the game, blatantly - all the way to the half-time break. And, it showed.

    Seriously, they were bad

    The Roughead holding the ball and the non 50m were blatantly wrong and any idiot could see that

    They've had an awful year so far

    Totally agree!

    On the topic of small forwards, I like what Garlett was doing today. He doesn't have much to show for it, but he got himself into good positions, and generally looked dangerous.

    So wrapt with that win. Should’ve gone to the game in hindsight...

    Can anyone please explain that second 50m against Harmes? I saw no player run past the Hawks player at all. They didn’t show a replay either.

    Stats don't count the 2 contests he should've won but didn't even make the contest in the last quarter, resulting in 2 of the goals that Hawthorn kicked to almost pinch it

    Am away interstate so watching on tv and Fox Footy showed it in replay analysis

    I don't want to snipe either,  but Omac almost lost us the game

    Agreed. Jeffry didn’t have big stats, but he created a load of opportunities and was directly responsible for 4 of our goals from his pressure. People can continue to hate him on, and he’s not perfect (see shot at goal instead of passing to TMac), but he’s comfortably the best small forward on our list and one of the Vestberg in the league when he’s in form. His crumbing and pressure today were exactly what we’ve been missing up forward all year.

    What really pisses me off is this magical protected zone whose limit seems to vary with the whim of the umpire. Blatant similar ones not paid, blatant worse ones under the old rules (which still apply) ditto.    Since the umpires are guessing already, why not have them guess whether the player running past is likely to interfere with the player with the ball.  If not, no 50m.  Almost every one of these 'in the protected zone' penalties would require the infringing player to tear muscles to be able to change direction to interfere with the player with the ball.

    Hawthorn lost to Harmes. 

    Game was a mess, Harmes stood out like dogs balls. 

    A win is a win but my heart cannot take 3 hours of rubbish and a nail biting finish. 

    Some excellent efforts from Frost.

    And the umpires, probably 4 clear holding balls not paid against Hawthorn and a couple of iffy ones. All when we had momentum too.

    • 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?
