How can you dominate possession like that and only kick 3 goals and be up by only 2 points?  This [censored] team....

 

Ask the blokes that gave their full forward 2 free kicks that resulted in 2 goals. That’s the difference.

    ****ful umpiring both ways so far. It’d be great to watch a game and not notice the umpires impacting the game for once.

    Fritta is a disgusting kick for goal 

    This guy pretty much cost us a finals spot last year with his kicking.

    He's doing it again. He's a brilliant 50 goal per year forward who destroys our momentum and chances with his kicking for goal. Why has this not been fixed during the off season?

    So fing angry right now.

    Dominated stats whilst looking like we barely had it.

    We have to beat the crowd tonight. Saints fans are LOUD.

    Jeez King has come on a lot. Giving May a tough time of it.

    Well if every time you touch him he gets a free any backman is going to struggle. Which rule was that last free? Blocking apparently when you are bodying up on your man. Can’t chop the arms, can’t hold, now can’t body.

    Guess good teams make the most of their opportunities. Fritsch, Brayshaw, etc.

    Oliver amazing.

    ANB great.

    Petracca is 40 percent down on last year. 

    Langdon's kicking too loopy 

    Salem good

    Haven’t been able to watch the game but FFS are we mentally weak?   So often concede a goal or two just on the siren.

    Don’t be silly ! A decent Shiraz is far more valuable 

    might have been better to put the maid on it and kept the shiraz the way were wasting our chances.

    Played reasonably well and should have a better lead to show for it.

    Agree on Fritsch, what the f@#k has happened to his goal kicking? Hasn’t been the same the last couple of years.


    Well there’s a lot of positives in the way we’re playing, BUT YET AGAIN failing to finish. We should be 15-20 points up right now, but poor kicking for goal and poor decisions at critical moment (plus a dubious at best free to King at the end of the quarter) means we’re basically even. 

    I don’t know what to do about Fritta, he’s getting into so many great positions but FMD he’s a coach killer with his set shots. I remember we dropped Bugg because he didn’t finish any of his shots, I really like Fritsch but he is killing us with basic misses. 

    May had a great game last week but credit to the Saints they’re making sure he can’t get free to mark it. He’s been a little hard done by the umpire at the end but other than that King is all over him. 

    Viney was the star of the quarter, absolutely everywhere. Oliver playing great footy. Petracca kinda going back to old Trac of doing good things but also silly things.

    Dont know but these umps certainly are.

    I need to talk to someone- about how lame the umpires are.

    Smashed them in every stat.  I expect they will change their tactics this Q.  do something about Gawn and the talls down back

    King is a major issues for us.  he is a gun and bloody tall

    Need something from you Dogga Jackson

    Agree 


    Predictable end to Qtr. the difference is one team has space and skills and the other is a middle of the road scrapper. It never changes. Petracca cost us that second goal

    • 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?
