    JWagner on average every 2nd possession he gets, stuffs it and generates an Eagles goal!

    Josh Wagner 19 disposals 78.9 DE% - 7th best de% for Melbourne 5th best for number of disposals

    Really hope we can win this, bugger the second pick I want Carlton to be below us.

    Cmon dees!

    I thought Petracca lifted in the middle once Viney went off.

    Out for the day with concussion, from said hip and shoulder.

    No hip.  Raised shoulder straight into the side of his jaw while standing.  Should get weeks.

    And that's his problem.  Nowhere to be seen for 20.  Turnover after turnover.  Then puts in 10 to 15 minutes of ok footy.  It's Rnd 18 not the first match or two and he's been in the system long enough to know what's needed at this level by now.  Rarely finishes when required either.  Great work ethic and andeavour but doesn't cut it for long enough often enough at AFL level.

    Another superb kick by ANB, gives us a goal in the third! Great pass to Fritsch

    The side has been showing some signs of coming back into form. 

    Putting some good minutes together.

     

    Hunt might not have big numbers but he’s having a very efficient game up forward. Bring it home Dees!

    He has been hunting the ball.

    I have liked what i have seen from him today in that regard. Long may it continue.

    Is it coincidence that we started playing better once Viney was off?

    Just sayin...

    mmmm, not the first time at all, agreed.

    Dees leading free kicks 14-7 since during 1st Q. Funny how you win frees when you crack in and play well

    2 decent quarters, we at least look like a team. Put Melksham and an in-form Tom Mac into that, get some games into Lever and Jetta, and we'd be on our way.

    Going to miss Viney (plus his rotations) for the last quarter, could be the difference.

    We hit the front at 3/4 time against West Coast, who are fighting for a top 2 spot. Yet there are are hardly any posts? Makes you wonder.

    Viney initiated it. Shouldn't get weeks for that.

    I just want to see these Eagles trip over their inflated egos.

    • 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?
