Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 

Definitely an improvement from Oliver, but that handball to Max was a shocker.

    Smashing Hawthorn makes the apocalypse feel way better. 

    Oscar has come in and said listen [censored], don’t listen to what Simon says, this is my world and this is how you’re setting up. 

    Petrecca is something else. The balance and movement plus  explosion stands out likes dogs balls in an era of ugly footy. Really bringing the joy back for me. 

    Gawn took the [censored] all day. 

    Oliver and Viney were a driving force. Bullies. 

    Brayshaw half good half awful. Which one is really him?

    Jackson played a better game than Tomald has for 12 months. Promising stuff. Bennell and Kozzie also played really well up forward. 

    So good to see Weed making a difference. 

    And Langdon played like what Scully should’ve become. 
     

    Speaking of Scully, best part was when a 200 kilo Italian ran away from him like he wasn’t there.

    We've been building towards this kind of display. Can't wait until we do it against a good side. Next week hopefully.

    With Jackson do we actually have one of the few, true 'all rounder' type players.

    If his tank is good enough he can run around with the midfield, kick some goals in the forward line and take some saving marks in defence. Similar to Gawn in a way, but more athletic and dynamic at ground level.

    Exciting!!

    Who are the other 4 above him out of interest? Can’t imagine any of them are bossing games like Trac is at the moment.

    Agree. Which is why I am happy to praise the good work, but coaches must continue to highlight the poor decisions. The want to go back into traffic and create issues for himself and then dump a handball to relieve the pressure, which in turn puts another player under pressure. He has to cut it out of his game, but I will back him to do so, as it’s apparent he is working on it

    Neale wasn't great this week. Still susceptible to a tag.

    I could easily write about the performance of our Hollywood midfield.

    But instead I am going to make special mention of Oscar McDonald. I've been incredibly hard on this kid but he's proved me wrong and making me eat humble pie. He's a complete different player and it's no coincidence that May and Lever are back to their best.

    Well done Oscar, you've shut me up for good.

    Kozzie and Jackson are going to be something else huh...

    Good four quarter effort. That should be minimum expectation.

    Well done Weiderman. Imposing performance.

    Yeah just not inside the defensive 50 to Maxy when he is doing his shoelaces up.

    The way he moves reminds me a lot of Bontempelli, though maybe that's the hair!

    How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. 

    I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

    Totally agree, it’s not out of his game yet, I’ve conceded that. He needs to continue to review it.

    3-0 with Bennell

    Bennell has never lost a regular season game in a Melbourne jumper.

    Pathetic effort from Scully really. Didn't even try and catch him.

    Scully is a Sqi..b Of the highest order Elite nobody!

    • 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?
