Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

 

Spargo also playing a good game.

But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

Melksham our Captain? Really. Time to show us why. 


If people can't see how bad Tmac is then you need to get your eyes checked

He is crazy slow and has very little confidence 

Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

 

Well done Weids, but gee he has missed some sitters. Seriously Goody must be so frustrated with miss after miss. 

 

 Im loving Spargo back in.

Trac too strong as is Weid.

Would like Milkshake and Fritta  to get involved more and the umps less.

Was a great tackle before Pickett's goal, and has found space often as a receiver

Big coming from me, I'm  a hater

Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

We're 2 years too late.

can still get someone for him

Tmac would be a good player 10 years ago 

Game is way too quick for him now 

Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

North do not deserve to be in this game.

Jones really lifted that quarter.

Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

Rivers also showing plenty.


Good signs.  Great work by the weed, just him to get a good kicking routine for all angles (there were both to the left). 

 

Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks


That last goal they got was very annoying.

Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

Honeslty Langdons kicking is dead average 

The action is ugly

Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

 

Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

enjoying his game.

  • 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?
