Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Poor kicks poor football we are just not good enough in a crisis situation 

     

    This umpire is so so so bad. She needs to just go away. Embarrassing stuff!

    To be fair, we've been down on rotations in hot conditions. Not a fair game to be making that call on.

    If our DH coach says in the presser that was an honorable loss I'll spew up. They can sing for my membership next year, I've had a gutful of this BS they dish up week after week. Pathetic losers.

    True. But we are both a man down this quarter.

    We are not a 4 quarter team. Haven’t been all year. Just another problem to add to a long list of problems.

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

    And that was about the last we saw of him other than a few cameos in general play Farmer....not good enough by a long way.   A bit like the MFC for many many decades.

    20 degrees, 28% humidity.

    It is a myth that Alice is hot, or humid, in winter.

    4.3 to 1.2 last quarter.

    i have defended Misson for a long time, but it is the right time for him to go

    Thanks Dave

    Poor kicking at goal has cost us another win.

    We are our own worst enemy.   They ran all over us again which is another issue that needs to be addressed.

    Kick straight and we would have been up by 5 goals at 3/4 time.  And with that sort of lead the legs find another gear.

    No stars and no genuine forwards able to finish of the good work 640.  All injured or didn't fire a shot all year other than T-Mac in one three quarter cameo.

    Well the Fritsch kick cost us the game. Stay forward!

    What a disgraceful comment. He was probably one of only a few players who kept us in the game.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
