    Please not an ACL. He has worked into a crucial element of our defence.  Argh.

     

    Commentators very quiet about Frisch being dropped behind the play.

    We are so loose it’s embarrassing. We are playing like rubbish. Super lazy.

    Just took some time for them to wake up.  Like me...every morning...without my coffee ☕️ 

    Tbh Thommo's injury has completely overshadowed anything we do from here. Really feel for him.

    With Thommo gone for the season...is it too early to swing TMac into his role to get some defensive practice / mind set happening and Weid comes straight in from next week to take over his forward role?

    Tackling pressure ?

    Our pressure is still in Melbourne. 
    Viney is being missed massively.

    Goldstein is killing us. Max and Jackson need to lift

    He’s never playing as a defender again.

     

    Clearance work not up to par. Needs to be sorted out pronto.

    So slow and 2nd to the ball. Frustrating as hell.

    • 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.

    • 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?
