Last half papered over the cracks of a shacky first half if i'm being honest.

Clearances a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

Forward connection a problem all afternoon till the last quarter.

BUT Who cares 5-0 BABY.

    You are correct he doesn't get dropped when he is crap for weeks on end why now?

    He kicks goals

    whilst others kick points

    Given that was played for the Beyond Blue cup, you should all call a Haethorn supporter and check they’re OK.

    And if so, stick it up them

    I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

    Absolutely. Give the opposition match up headaches. Bloody West Coast have played big forwards for years.

    Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team. 

    I doubt they’ll drop him, he’s the guest on the couch on Monday night, I get what you’re saying but he won’t be dropped for this game. After 300 I should be “managed”

    Jackson doesn’t count as a tall IMO

    Because he can’t hold his marks. When he fixes that, watch out!

    Oliver had a ripping 3rd and 4th.

    Anb a great final as did Jv.

    Salem is back to his all time best.

    In tge finsl analysis with our poor kicking we actually smashed them.

    Max is playing his best footy ever. Weid next week for Melk.

    Add A May and Coleman capable Brown in 3 weeks and wow.

    I want Jones to play 300 but not next week.

    Welcome back Hibbo

     

    Hibberd lays claim on spot
    Former Bomber Michael Hibberd has been made to earn his place back in the Demons' defence and was brought into the side for his first appearance of the season. The 31-year-old made a seamless return, gathering 21 disposals in a polished display out of the back line. The tough and physical left-footer also had a moment of brilliance in the third term, when his effort to smother and stop a goal deep in defence helped set up a Melbourne goal at the other end of the ground.

    Doubled our 3 quarter time score! What a win. 
    I actually thought Frost played a good game for the first 3 quarters. Then it was great to see an opposition have to suffer through some Frostball

    Frost was a real dog earlier in the game. Trying to play tough. Too bad for him he’s a terrible footballer and I enjoyed immensely that he helped us get a goal. For once his turnovers helped instead of hindered us.

    In a game that was meant to promote mental health, does anybody else reckon that our boys were really cruel and mean by leading the Hawthorn players and fans on for three quarters into thinking that they were some sort of a chance?

    He plays next week

    We've killed former Captains numerous times over last 2 decades 

    The team is obviously happy to take Jonesy to 300 so let's all embrace it!!

    • 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.
