We still seem to manage to stuff things up close in to goal. ?

    Cats are down on players but they play such a stodgy brand of footy. They make us look like Carl Lewis

     

    Strange game, we’re dominating around the ground but not converting... where have I heard this before.

    Goody needs to go absolutely bananas at them, they look like they’re taking the mickey with there finishing into the fwd 50.

    Trac has had a bunch of it. Oliver has started better than last week which is good.

    Intensity has been pretty good, we should be further in front though blew some very easy chances.

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better place.

    Good energy but costly in some ways.

    Should be further in front but at least we're not being jumped and four goals down.

    Great to see the likes of Tmac and Jones really pushing hard. Even Brayshaw seems to be running hard 

    Hope the weather holds and we run them off their feet.

     I hope they have planned for Hawkins rucking in the forward line, he is very dangerous there.

    I repeat.

    Missing Max in the ruck. Jackson back to ff please.

    Langdon is an out and out champion as is Trac.

    Sharpen skills please Lever and May.

    Jv needs to lift. Started well.

    Kozzie to start kicking goals.

    2.4 to 1.1

    Wasting our chances again just like the first three rounds.  Jack Viney 2 behinds, come on you are supposed to be a leader

    At least we did not give up a goal at the death. Very un Melbourne like.

    We have to take our opportunities. To many easy dropped marks & fumbles. Viney should be kicking those goals. 

    We also have to man up so Geelong can't play this slow game where they chip it around

    • 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?
