If we lose this, it'll be down to that old fan favourite, skills: poor disposal, poor kicking for goal, even poor marking.

Hunt on borrowed time I feel, he's just too poor a field kick. Surely Hibberd comes in to replace him.

 

We are keeping StK in this game - should be 4 or 5 goals clear. Only ourselves to blame if we duck this up.

Very solid AGAIN

He has the crew around him. Lever May and Tomlinson all been good.

 

Positives so far, apart from 75% of the second quarter we have been so clearly the better team it’s ridiculous. Game should be over, simple as that. We killed them for most of the third quarter and missed some very simple chances. 

Fritsch finally finding the goals was massive then, he simply had to kick it. Bloody hell it’s tight though, shouldn’t be but it is. Bring it home Dees!!!

These games drive me nuts.

We should have buried the Saints by now.

Always comes down to opportunities. I hope we don't regret our missed chances.

Maggots should get the saints up from here. But... It's our own fault for being in this position

Yes he’s our only multiple goal scorer

Is he up fwd?

Was confident half way through the Qrt. The ease at which they scored the 2 goals worried me. Hopefully we run over the top of them

Special comments from Luke Darcy as King takes a set shot

"Good looking kick. Slightly across the face...in fact he's missed the lot..."

Haha he's good isn't he

If we clean up our skills we win by six goals.

Won't happen tonight.
Been waiting for us to clean up our skills for 15yrs.

 Can’t blame the coach for the dropped marks, mis kicks, shocking handballs and pathetic goal kicking. Should be 6-8 goals up and home. Waiting for the Saints top last quarter to steal the game.

This. We may make the finals, but hard to see us getting to the pointy end with skills as they are. Bowey can't come on soon enough.


Tommy!!!!


Is Brayshaw back next week ?? Need him in the team. 
 

oh he’s playing. !! Wtf.  He’s just jogging around. 7 possessions

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
