    Reasonably sure there's more to it than: Handball blind = Premiership.

    Him & Viney had a very compromised pre-season (only 3 weeks).  Let's see how they both come out in the first 6 rounds in 2020.

    Lever has been dogged today and not in a good way.  Another handball over the head Lucifer's longjohns!

    Tough to watch. How did our ball movement and skills get to be so bad. 

    Im so focused on how often we f up that’s its easy to forget the scores are level. I expect that small mercy to be removed early  in the third.

    Oliver's never had one though. Every time Max gives him one he hands it off to the nearest customer.

    What about drinking bourbon straight from the bottle at 3.30 in the afternoon?

    Haha yep has a ring to it Trig.  Especially in the deep of winter!

    Melk & Fritschreig our only two who have shown natural forward instincts/craft and finishing skills this season along with Lewis when played there.  Good to have those two up forward again.  Working well together also so far.

    Melk one of the rare players for us who works hard to position himself front and square (on the move) for the crumb.

    Both are always on the move as well.

    wow... just wow

    Just tuned in been at a few open houses. Seems like our best footy has already happened :( 

     

    Gee Wags, JKH, ANB, Stretch and Spargs are all very easily brushed aside.   Need some strengthening, big pre-seasons await.   No sure how many with Dees in 2020.

    • 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.
