It’s always so different watching it on tv rather than at the ground...close games but this was WAY more stressful and worse to watch than the Hawks bumsqueak last week...

6: Salem
5: Jones
4: Oliver
3: Melksham
2: Harmes
1: Gawn

Apologies to Frost, Petracca, and Lockhart in particular 

We have a serious footballer in Lockhart I think

    Hunt pivotal, Lockhart can play, Fritsch uses it well, Frost playing with confidence.

    HMs ... Hibb (playing a cracker prior to his unfortunate gutsy injury), Viney (up & down but had his moments), T-Mac (effort and the winning point!), FritschKreig, Hunt, Lockhart (starting to find his mojo at this level..footy smarts!) and Hore (mostly for that amazing finish for a backman to help win at the end).

    Marty Hore's goal. Neil Crompton in 64 GF?

    One against team rules for the win, Hore's was probably part of a trained instinctive play Bobby (i'm guessing).

    Either way they both resulted in wins for the club.

    In only his 6th game, that goal was one of the greats for this club.  He is young and will no doubt have a few downs here and there but we've uncovered a beauty in Marty.

    If Marty does the same thing in the last minute of the last game of the year, then we will all be happy ... ?

    6 Harmes - he's really got back to his end of 2018 level and was inspired in the last quarter.

    5 Oliver - the other member of the gang-tackling middlemen society. Sent it forward a bit more this week.

    4 Salem - our silk out of defence.

    3 Frost - seemed to be reading the play better than normal.

    2 Jones - kept working his butt off. His wing/midfield switch with Angus has helped, although Gussie is now not so prominent.

    1 Fritsch - I was critical of him last week but he intercepted well once Hibberd went off and provided run out of defence.

    Hunt very stiff to poll so low this round. He was good all night except for the last 2 minutes where he bought his game to a new level and won us the game. He spots up Hore who kicks the goal to get us level.

    Then when Gawn boots and up and under with about 14 seconds left on to the cusp of out 50, Hunt smashes through two of them and the ball spills to Harmes. We win.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
