    Lever solid? He's been the worst on ground.

    Actually watch the game Dub....

    Lever has been solid in 1v1s. His spoiling has been particularly good.

    His turn over kick before was horrendous and turned the play. 

    But for the rest of the game, I'd agree that he's been one of our better contributors.

    Disagree.

    His turnover cost us a goal, and it was a shocker.

    But he hasn't been beaten one on one, taken a few intercept marks and made plenty of important spoils.  Far from our worst.

    Melksham and Viney on the other hand...

    Viney, Fritter, Spargo, ANB, AVB doing very little. Desperately need some/all to lift in 2nd half

    They are having a go, i agree. and its a good response, but leaders continually make mad decisions it doesnt help. the 4 in our leadership team have been awful.

    Footy is a game of split seconds. Sometimes they just male the wrong decision

    Applies to umpires too

     

    The appalling umpiring is enough to drain any hope of getting a 'fair go' on the football field. Especially when you see a thug like Mumford receive free kicks and get away with what the commentators drool over as 'big hits'. ?

    Sorry lads I have to disagree. He's been no different Joel Smith tonight in terms of spoiling.


    Would swap Weid with May.  I just can't see us kicking a winning score with Weid at FF.  We'll most likely lose anyways.

    Time to flip them around and just have Weid defend as best he can across CHB.  Lever to FB.  Hide Smith on a flank.

    Lets take it up to them by playing May across CHF and clunk a few marks or bring the ball to ground for Kozzy and Spargs.

    We simply must trade Fritta & Melk at years end.  Both go missing for far too long and far too often in matches.

    Where's Lockhart gone.  He has to be carrying something surely.  Just can't see how Nev gets a game ahead otherwise.

    Such abetter effort tonight so far

    Anyone got one of those online defibrillators.

    Honestly I don't feel well.

    That's probably because I just a couple of glasses labelled "Romsey Manor"

    Is that a real winery or one of those fortified jobs?

    Just checked the fine print... WARNING- it has chemicals added and "may contain fragments of grape material"

    But I love the nutty aroma. Reminds me of the last time my old Dad sprayed Roundup - and forgot the water.

    I wish he was here

    Go Dees.

    Go Hawthorn.

    Sorry I get ahead of us there.

    He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract. 

    We need to sign players up on shorter deals and keep them driven to excel.

    Ling you are a dead set [censored]. [censored] off and don’t come back. [censored].

    ANB then with a soft piece of play.  Jumped up then packed his pants and handpassed it to no one.

    ABOUT BLOODY TIME

    • 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?
