Only two players won their positions. May and Petracca.

If anyone gives votes to Gawn or Oliver I'll spew.

 

Agree. Gawn beaten. Oliver gets the footy then puts players under even more pressure, turnover the footy or a handball to nothing. Both have big hearts but today was average. 

Gawn wasn't beaten - Grundy had 16 disposals at 38% efficiency and at least three of then were against McDonald in the ruck.  Gawn had 13 at 62%, a goal and many more hit outs to advantage.  He wasn't in our best 6 however.

Salem was lazy today. Missed 3-4 kicking targets. Dropped a few marks. Little chip 15 metres are now his go.  The aim should be to get it long and use his skilled delivery over 40 metres. 

This is tough but I will give it a go

That is it in an awful game with terrible skills and our usual butchering and turning over off the ball.

His form has definitely dropped off in recent weeks, after a great 15 or so weeks.

I'm glad there is some love for JKH although he's not the classiest of players, not once did i see him standing or jogging whilst opposition players ran amuck, unlike some of his team mates

Looks a fair reflection of our disappointing season.  Gawn has been a standout, Oliver has been fairly consistent but not outstanding, Salem has slowed after a strong first two-thirds of the season and Trac and Fritsch look to be finishing strongly.

  • 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?
