We'd, Tmac and Jackson on the fwd line yet it felt like most of our kicks went towards Fritsch or Trac?

    Why the [censored] does this game have to be on a Thursday night when I can’t drink myself into oblivion?!

    Call in sick tomorrow. Be a good citizen. Never has calling in sick been more heroic.

    We've looked soooo slow since Jones was brought back in.

    Gifting charity games was where it all went down. Jones is rubbish

    We’ve been as bad as you can get but only 3 goals down. That’s a positive. But I’ve got nothing else.

    Hang in there - it's only the 1st quarter gone. 3 quarters to go...

    Only Jackson looks likely up forward.. 

    Yep.

    Doesn't panic with the ball.

    Its too much to ask that our so called quality players actually try something different other then bombing it in the F50

    I agree. I have left Jones alone to date but geez he looks off his best by some way. 

     

    wtf was that rubbish,why is tracc laughing about [censored] these prima donnas


    13 inside 50s in the first qtr for no goals, 3 talls doesn’t work 

    That was disgusting, last week we kicked ourselves out of the game in front of goal, tonight we have barely been able to string two kicks together and our kicks inside 50 were pathetic.

    We had so many good chances with leads missed, miss-matches ignored, and basic skills non-existent. We can bring it back if we pull our finger but that was some of the worst we've seen.

    Jackson was hit laces out, got both hands to it and spilt it...

    Port Players get the ball, then try to maintain possession for Port. 
    Dees players get the ball, then seem more concerned to get "meters gained", just keep moving the ball toward our goal, like schoolboy football, causing so many turnovers and lousy delivery to our forwards. 

    MFC intensity meter reading at about 1!

    dont blame jones

    Brayshaw is playing on a wing on Karl Amon.

    Amon 12 disposals, Brayshaw 3....

    That BAD that the umpires are providing sympathy and tea. Copious frees and multiple fifty metre penalties have done little.

    Goody was sick of listening to us cry out for two tall forwards.

    His revenge is sticking three down there.

    Good move.

    Apparently Hodge is spending retirement in a pie factory.

    The reason we're only 3 goals behind is the short quarters

     

    This is the Richmond game all over again.

    Turnovers left, right and centre. Cannot compete with anyone, let alone the side on top of the ladder, if we keep turning it over.

    I would be the first person in Australia to call in sick for home schooling/work from home.

    • 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?
