It’s a shoot out.  More goals please

 
 

Frustrating basic mistakes from our defence. Oscar and Wagner spoiling to dangerous spots and Fritta wrapping a bloke up for no good reason.

Just little things they all need to be better at.

Baikey Fritsch dhould have been dropped straight after the west coast gamd

He would surely have been dropped weeks ago if we weren’t scraping the barrel for fit players.

This is our best first quarter this year, with 6 minutes to spare.

First time we've kicked 5 goals in the opening quarter.

    Our coaching dept is stubborn and dumb with the fritsch back thing. 

    And while I'm at it, Brayshaw kicking on his left at every opportunity is winding me up. He butchers it on the left

    We have no backline. Who replaces Fritsch down back?

    They got Stretch in there too now. Desperate times.

    Was about to say that 640. Though the longer it plays like that, the more i'd fancy the Crows kicking more goals.

    Garlett should have 3 goals this quarter. His misses have been shots he should be kicking.

    8 scoring shots to 4 but only a 9 point lead, too.

    How many years has Garlett not been able to kick set shots?! I feel he’s had 92460 years playing AFL. 

    Stupid from Harmes then. 


    Just maybe GWS did not lie down last week. They didn’t today

    And two of their goals have been hand wrapped presents.

    Jones needs to learn that he is now an older footballer and has limitations. Play within them and kick to a team mate rather than always kicking to a contest.

    Well this is much more like what we saw last year!

    How good has Brayshaw looked this quarter??

    • PREVIEW: 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.
