    Weiderman A fine line 

    He kicks 2 or 3 goals and its a great game, absolutely shanked all 3 shots

    Very harsh on Lockhart. He was actually pretty good tonight. Secured his spot for next week.

    Goal Review System - Cost us dearly.

    Yeah, we made a lot of mistakes and so did they but we were out and away when Lever took that mark.

    Surely that review takes place while the game goes on and if it's not a mark then they bring it back...

    Harsh on Fristch. Flew at everything. 6 touches , 4 score involvements, 2 goals. 

    very limited opportunities after quarter time

    Why are our ratings always so negative  ?? We were playing a top side tonight and with reasonable kicking at goal we would have won !!!!

    Yes that hurt and someone has said it was the field umpire who called for the review, not the goalie! Is that true, if so it’s criminal. I will have to watch the replay tomorrow when I have calmed down. So many squandered opportunities with missed set shots and then a number of [censored] umpiring decisions, I need to review again to understand.

    Pretty sure it was the goal umpire 'Earl'...either way it shouldn't have happened.

    Even when you review you won't understand some of the umpiring decisions...I had a look multiple times at the first Pickett unfair tackle and it was a bump straight in the guts.

    15 metre kicks were so inconsistent that even the commentators were joking about it.

    You guess is as good as mine on any holding the ball decision, I reckon they toss a coin on that one.

    Hocking has stuffed the game...umpires have lost all confidence.

    Quite a few decisions against us tonight that were seemingly not unanimous, overruled or just not picked up at all, but we were playing against a Team that has to be given every chance to feature in a packed sell out come GF Time.....

    Agree I like the way Lockhart is going about it. Yes he makes mistakes but he takes the game on and the the way he moves sets up attacking counter attacks. The best thing is he seems to be getting better with every game and I hope he retains his willingness to attack.

    Lockhart definitely better than suggested and I thought Langdon was good, despite being one who missed a gettable set shot.

    Have to agree. Also I was at game and he made some good positions when we had ball and our guys would not kick to him. Strange.

    • 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?
