We're down two players, this could be a game changer. Harris scores from a set shot.

    And just like that Blues are in front from a snap.

    Hore shanks a dolly on goal, we've missed some great chances.

    We've had two balls going in on goal only for ridiculous bounces to deny us.

    Cunningham seems to have lost all ability. Shaping as another St.Kilda game as another chance wasted on the siren.

    Cunningham has been woeful. So many perfect one on one chances.

    And Newman should have given the ball off or kept running. Two goal turnaround

    Bloody hell - the second I tune in: another knee injury, Bloos kick 2 goals to hit the front and we miss a soda.

    Gee some easy misses that quarter, Newman, Cunningham and Hore and O’Dea’s bounced 180 degrees...it will be a miracle if we get up.

    Carlton were very good that quarter and probably could have had more chances turned into goals, but equally we had some great chance that we absolutely shanked. Frustrating, I can see us losing this by under a kick and looking back on those chances feeling we should have won.

    One quarter to go, down two players could be tough.

    This is that game we always have at least once a year. More of it, more scoring shots, and we get done.

    Blues get the all important first goal.

    Dees 3.4.23
    Blues 5.2.32

    Smashed on the outside, wasteful once inside 50. O'Dea is a liability once they get it on the outside. 

  • Quote

    Game over i'd say.

    Disappointing result, we were so clearly the better team at half time. Really should've been in front by 3 more goals but failed to make use of our dominance, our players were exhausted by the end being down two rotations and in the end when we had our chances we butchered them. 

    Puts us back to the pack and outside the finals spot, lots of work to be done.

    That may be season over. Carlton one game ahead of us now, and we have Freo and Suns to come. They have Freo and WC.

    Looks like we'll be dudded by the conference system again

    Again our old nemesis our forward line conversion and skill 

    For the umpteenth time has enough chances but lack skill in finishing 

    Please Melb recruit footballers not other players from other codes that MAY be good sports but don't have the footballers instincts.

    Desperately need a skilled forward who gets 6 touches and 3 goals 

    Cunningham lucky to be on team as no other big forward Give her a run around Th r ground yo get into the game please 

    Mivk Stinnear must surely be coaching fir his job in the last 2 games as he has had 4 years of non success to make finals 

    Injuries have not hrlped ageing today but same old story of lost chances.

    Mickey at least 3 times per year every year fir 4 years in a row!! We are too dependent upon forwards marking as skill to kick goals on run us almost impossible for us !

    Really looked slow and unfit. The injury toll is really hurting us.

    Maybe that had something to do with 2  injured players off the ground in the last half  And about 4 ACL injuries this season !

  • Quote

    A game of two halves (as they all are, but you know what I mean).  We ran out of players, and (consequently) legs in the second half. Four, and possibly five ACLs  in a season is just [censored] luck, no matter how you spell it !

    Can't see how the conference system has done us. Injuries and lack of finishing would be more to the point.. We still had our chances to kick goals and stay in front but lack of composure and more likely skills let us down plus a certain tallish lady in forward line is having a shocker.

    Cunningham wasn't the only one to have a shocker O'Dea was terrible too.

    • REPORT: 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.
