Moving Baker forward is proving a smart move. Castagna unsighted the last two weeks

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

Pretty straight forward I would’ve thought.

On the other hand I don’t like seeing the Tiges win and the more games we put between ourselves and them the better I will feel. They’re not in form at the moment but they are liable to click and put a run of games together which could be enough to make Top 4. I’d prefer if they finished in the lower half of the 8. I'd prefer not to face them at all in September.

 

This lot has played Norf and Sun gods, soft kills no wonder the have the best attack and defence.

Hate the Tigers but loving this.

First time this season doggies have been really challenged. Let's see how they respond

What did you think of our 56K odd last week?

Better than the 52,000 tonight.

It’s Richmond’s home game and they have 100,000 members apparently.

It’s a Friday night.

Perfect weather in Melbourne all day.

Playing against the undefeated Bulldogs.

The tigers are getting a decent run from the umpires 

Makes up for the first half, though I do hate when that happens.

Very lenient on incorrect disposal tonight I've noticed.

Do you mean when a play has or has not had prior opportunity.

Remember, when a player has not had prior opportunity they only need to attempt to dispose of the ball.

Remmeber, when a player has not had prior opportunity they only need to attempt to dispose of the ball.

I'll take more notice, but instances that would have been a free last year or even last week seem, in my mind anyway, to be play on tonight.  Could be imagining things.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
