1 contested mark in 3 quarters of footy. Has to be some sort of record, our boys really hate the physicality of going for contested grabs.

    Pushing rope out there, seriously.

    Maybe they are saving all their skills for the final quarter?

    Or it could be like an election tribute - a sort of round-by-round gerrymander where for each game they do just enough to barely, unimpressively win, and yet on a general support of 51% come away with every seat in parliament...

    Or not.

    Neeld called to say we are [censored] and his teams would spank this rabble.

    Let's not get carried away.

    Is Gus ok? I ask this because I have never seen him play worse. I actually worry he may have got a hit in the head and is not 100%? 

    Watching this is like poking my eye out with scissors. Painful and unnecessary.

    Chris Dawes called, he wants his hands back.

    We are not a good team this year, we honestly look like a bottom 4 team that is trying to remember how to win. 

    Both teams appear to be void of clear rational thinkers, so much blazing away when calm good ball use is needed. 

    I feel like we’re watching two of the worst current teams in the AFL.

    Garlett made no attempt to mark that before it went out on the full. 

    It was over the line and he was trying to stay inside while marking...cant see what else he was supposed to try and do with an overweighted kick

    Wow.... How do you blokes watch these guys live most weeks? Our skills are so bad, literally perfect conditions here, no condensation, no wind, not hot.

    The amount of times our players run under the ball is gross


    Looking at that scoreline you would think we are playing in a mud pit, but instead its almost perfect conditions.

    • 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.
