Just wanted to thank The HawthornFc for taking Frost out of our Backline. Cheers. 

The difference now with Tomlinson backing up May and Lever is like chalk n cheese. And agree thank HFC

    This game just re-affirms how big it will be beating Cats and Hawks because both good in spurts but average for vast stretches.

    The one thing this shows is that we cannot allow Geelong too much time on the ball.

    The cat's aren't exactly fast are they. I hope the Hawks stay in this game and make them earn it.

    Going to be hard to beat Geelong and the umpires next week. Absolute armchair ride here.

    Both teams playing pretty messy footy

    very much agree

    Cats just that little better and of course a couple of goals in those last few minutes.

    Hawkins not afraid to use his body and risk a free when rucking in the forward line. Easily negated by a big leap and knock but the trouble is you can't be sure where the big tap will go to.

    Does anyone else think Geelong are the most boring team in the AFL...

    I will go back and watch a bit more in a mo but seriously they make doing some housework interesting.

    Jeeelong are playing the full press game.

    Geelong’s defense is their main strength. Should be a low scoring affair. They are immensely gettable though.

    Higgins out with a Hammy. Who’s going to snipe Oliver now?

    Geez Geelong have been unimpressive. 

  • Quote

    May and Lever will be salivating at how slowly Geelong are moving the ball.  If we keep the defensive running effort up, harassing the ball carriers and stay reasonably well organised, it'll be an intercept marking party.

    They are in real trouble without Dangerfield to break things up and create attacks.

    I'm quietly hoping Petracca puts on a show to make them really feel how much they are missing that attacking power.

    Oops, and that's Higgins gone, so they are even thinner for the inside-50 deliverers.

    Wow, how slow was Mitchell then?  When we play Hawthorn Jones should tag him for the speed advantage.

    • 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?

        • Thanks
