Some of the umpiring decisions, from the missed holding the ball from early in the first to the Bont just before half time.

    Dogs look like they have control of this one.

    I’m not that impressed by the dogs, yes they have a good running brigade, but I think our Rucks and backs are better and we match them in the middle .

    It's only 3 goals the difference but the tigs are only kicking 1 goal a quarter. 

    So when we play the dogs would we go lever on bruce and may on naughton?

    Richmond are playing frantic football and bombing it long into their forward line. They had control of the game in the second quarter but no direction going forard. I think the dogs will take care of them latter in the game and win easily.

    Tigers are coming off a 5 day break from playing us. Hope the dogs run them off their feet after 1/2 time and give them the biggest pounding ever.

    We have a 7 day break before playing Roos. Kinda sad isn't it.

    Tiges Kicking for goal and entries inside 50 are deeplorable, having said that they were well on top in the 2nd quarter but can't capitalise.

    Signs of an battled weary team, can still win if they can find some composure.

    I'm probably in the minority but i wouldn't mind seeing the doggies beaten. Looks unlikely though.

    I want the Dogs beaten so we can have a shot at top spot.

    Pretty straight forward I would’ve thought.

    • 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.
