You watch Richmond will hit some form now.

With 9 changes to their lineup, I somehow doubt it. They might sneak through this week because they’re playing the Swans.

    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.

    I Understand with all the difficulties of continued continuity at training with them training in groups, but we look like we do truck all skills sessions. 

    It makes you wonder what they do during a pre season all running and no skill work.

    Deeplorable.

    Dawks Vs Filth. The most revolting of matchups. A definite skip.

    Think I will watch the vermins but listen to the dead kennedys bedtime for democracy.

    Do they publish crowd numbers this year.

    I believe the max crowd permitted for Giant stadium is 6,000.

    Should get that easily tonight (Pies v Hawks) I would think.

    Go Pies !! ?

    No they don’t and I don’t know why.

    They had about 10K for the Brisbane v Port game last week and probably about 2K last night for Geelong V Brisbane.

    Mason Cox, who's been playing the game for only a handful of years, is a better kick of the footy than most of our side....

    Looks like Jono Patton has broken down again.  He's in tears on the bench. 

    Sad for him if that's the case, hopefully it's not as serious as they initially think.

    Watching tonight's game at Giants Stadium, does the playing surface look really chopped up?

    We will be playing on a cow paddock tomorrow! Might help us.

    Frawley and Frost doing well. 

    Not having a go but is that sarcastic? I saw Chip twice butcher a 15m kick, and Frost has done his usual dash out of defence to nowhere and hand the ball over.

    Frawley is incredible one dimensional. Beaten in a one-on-one by a good ordinary battler just now. Frost his usual headless chock impression.

    Is it just me... or is the footy just completely uninspired this year - to the point where it feels irrelevant?

    Boring games, no passion, feels like watching training.

    • 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.
