North palyers cleaning up in clearances and free for all up fwd.

WAKE UP MELBOURNE


Everyone keeps saying “once we get going”. When is that going to happen? Because they’re 2 goals up and we are still asleep. 

This is simply embaressing

Well that was borderline embarrassing. 
 

Midfield getting spanked. 

Why do you qualify it with “borderline”?

Based on the quality of the teams we should be six goals up by now.

No doubt.

    No desperation. Even picket then strolled around.

    we are a few mins away from this game being out of our reach. We don’t even look likely to get the ball, or turn it over when they get it. And when we do get it, we look poor moving it.

    will this be the loss we need to have?

    If it is, it’ll be against a club with only 27 players available on their list, no wins, a percentage below 50%, and who are likely the worst team since Fitzroy before they were shifted. Make no mistake, it would be the most appalling loss we could possibly have.

    Pathetic.

    Nobody's running.

    F50 entry (on the few occasions we have found the ball) has been poor.

    Getting smoked

     


    Still no questions about Frittata being dropped behind the play. 
    Such biased commentary

    So far this is a clear example of not respecting your opponent. Nothing comes easy in this league.

    Petracca is the only one showing the urgency required.

    Said this last week and I'll say it again. 'Would love a centre clearance!'

    For a good midfield oir clearances have been bad for a very long time.

    Looks like they used all their fire power on Richmond last week.

    • PREVIEW: 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.

      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.
