    Haha fantastic work. One of my wife's go to entrée's. Won't be hoping in the pool in north east Vic... Although if we make finals a cannonball may be on the cards much to the kids delight.

    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Opposition who don’t bring intensity & effort suit our style of play.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok. 

    Joe Daniher statless

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up  

    Ouch!

    ANB having a cracker. He needs consistency. Do this every week son

    Yes give him credit for good play. That collect when he was going to get hit and then a lovely goal was great. Stick it up me son and become a good player, I would love it. Now keep going for the second half.

    Love watching this - to see us playing with movement, hitting targets, almost everyone contributing.

    But Essendon are dreadful. Neeld-esque. Some of their chasing and defensive efforts are embarrassing. We really can't take too much from this game so far. 

    But I m loving it. Dees thriving. Bombers annihilated.

    brown is the missing link forward so glad he is getting a go at it, the weid go at the ball son

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    When Fritta missed the target right n front of goal in the second quarter and the Essendon player ran the ball out just typifies our season to date. 
     

    HOPELESS

    Also fritta cant kick for [censored]. He needs to learn over the off season or learn in the seconds. Pathetic.

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Good pair of hands.

    So far so good. I can see why people have been whinging about Viney. As soon as he gets the ball we lose it.

    i dont like that hunt is playing a good game coz its so one off and then we'll be asking how he got a new contract again this time next year

    Now just need melbourne to keep on doing what they did in the 2nd quarter. Just bury them. 

    Seriously daniher not worth 2 round draft picks. He was getting beaten by joel smith. 

    Roped the dope.

    Ess, had the impression after the first, that it was all too easy.

    Now to see if ruthlessness is in our game.

    We should go on with it and win the next two quarters.

    Mids working well, the team finding space, great pressure and tackling.

    Liked that we tried a different game plan in the first and then got into our fast style in the second.

    Need to be able to switch it up during the quarter.

    Had a solid bet on dees over 39.

    I hope they don't showboat from here. Should be 3-4:more goals up as it is.

    Smash them redlegs

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect.

    • 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?
