    Worrying first 5 minutes, strong final 10 minutes.

    From TV it looks like we've again set up well behind the ball. Their goal was from a turnover and one of their missed kicks was from Smith's run through the middle. Other than that, they're struggling to move the ball.

    We look good when it hits the deck in our forward 50 and we've got key players getting their hands on it. Petracca looks excellent. Hannan, Fritsch and Pickett all causing headaches for them.

    What is wrong with Fritsh Goal Kicking?

    He was very reliable when he first played...

    More accurate from 40+ when he must kick through the ball and not overthink i reckon SW.

    Under 40ish out he over thinks imo and tends to try and guide it through rather than kick through with momentum.  Leaning back a little?

    Burgoyne doing a lot of things he ‘never does’

    cant they just say he is playing a bad game?

    Can't they just say his opponents are doing better?

    Viney's aggression.
    Gawn's marking.
    Pickett's speed.
    Petracca's strength.
    Defensive pressure and workrate.

    Our onballers are all on. Brayshaw is butchering it though. 

    Gawn is murdering them in the ruck. If Oliver can tidy up a little we could really slaughter them in the centre clearances. Would make a big difference considering that we've locked them in their defensive 50 quite well.

    so correct

    We're +10 in CPs, +3 in contested marks, and we've had 8 tackles inside 50 to their 1.

    But it's 12 inside 50s to 4. They've scored 1.2 from their 4 inside 50s (75% scoring efficiency), we've scored 3.2 from our 12 (42%).


    Early days, but Jackson looking OK. A bit more at home at this level. 

    Just the 3 contested marks in one quarter from Gawn

    Needs to work on those closer shots

    We need him to kick 1-3 a week

     

    Good stuff Dees!

    Great to see Fritsch slot that late one after missing two easy shots.

    Hannan picking up where he left off last week with a great tackle and goal.

    Max monstrous at the moment. Three contested marks that quarter? 

    Trac is absolutely untouchable.

    • 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?
