    Metricon with four games over the weekend.

    Will be interesting to see how the surface holds up.

    15mm predicted for Sunday and 45-60mm for Monday...lucky that wasn't Saturday and Sunday !

    Cats and Pies for the first two matches

    Say whatever you want about our man Dan but he’s not only leading the tipsters, he also picked 11 winners last week from just 9 games.05C3EF0D-E273-4CDD-8E75-46F2C36F7E79.thumb.jpeg.dc9e108626e2755eebcb29a04116cf02.jpeg

    Never seen a team whinge more to the umpire and beg for frees than the Cats. Actually sickening.

    Cats showing that kicking skills reign supreme. They barely handball, always looking for short kick options.

    Interestingly 4 of the top 5 teams have the lowest play on percentage. They mark, stop and create uncontested marking chains with short kicks.
    Conversely we have the highest play on percentage in the league and are the worst team in the league over the last 18 months. Basically proof our gameplan is completely wrong and we need to slow down and hit a [censored] target.

    9 goals in a row and they were playing ring a ring a rosie against us. They are making the Lions look like pretenders.

    It sound like I've been on the whaky tabaki but if we make the necessary adjustments and clean our foot skills up we arent that far off.

    Remember seeing a stat here last week. The team sitting second on the ladder has not won a game in 2020. The curse continues.

    May be we weren't bad, just Geelong are very good.(i just threw up in my mouth).

    Lions would be much better if they had any decent tall forwards.  Hipwood and McStay are very average.  If you keep Cameron quiet then you go a long way to beating them.

    We have actually played some decent teams to kick off the year.  It's no excuse in terms of our skills and so forth, but I agree that if we can fix up the skills enough then we'll win more than we lose.

    But are skills something that can just be “fixed up” or do skills = say natural ability that can’t be improved?

    I honestly feel like we are the confidence building team. Teams comes up against us, the players in the middle give them enough of a tough run to make them compete hard but our skills and decision making is so bad that the other team ends up getting the win. They go on with confidence and play better, while we continue our trajectory of going nowhere.

    You watch Richmond will hit some form now.

    • 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?
