When Trac burst through the centre he should put it to the forwards. That handball to Clarrie was a horrible option. If he didn’t like any option coming at him have a shot, he was in range,

can't see what's ahead of him on tv. for all we know they had numbers down back.

 

Much better the last 15 minutes or so. Pressure and we got our defensive game working. Spargo, AND and Kozzie stepped up. Finish them off this quarter Demons

 

Come on Dees.........show em..

Every time we play a lowly team near the bottom of the ladder we play to their standards!?

Except that the Crows are playing excellent, high pressure, fast footy. 


Every team regardless of ladder position will turn up to our game as they want to hunt the top team. No easy games - doesn’t help when your in 1st gear until the 3rd quarter.

One day soon we will be dominating so much we can sit back & enjoy the last quarter

it'll never happen - mfcss says so

righto - just need to win the last quarter as is the norm and we're 'home' and 10-0

ANB having a shocker.

Yep but sadly there are just too many with him.

Oliver is keeping us in this and Trac was good.

Our forward line sucks. There I said it. Didnt think I would.

This is why Sam W has trouble getting games. He has bbb fighting for his spot but he this is the intensity we get from him.

Its his sixth season I think.

 So hoping for more from him.

But I guess as said so many others are off as well.

If Nibbler, Langdon, kozzie, Jordan Spargo , Hunt and maybe even Mrlksham can decide to do something we may just make it.


Not sure melks in the centre bounce is the way to go

Just a question from an long time but ignorant football watcher. Do umpires EVER report anyone any more?

Two reported this game.

ANB terrible

I’ve never wanted anyone to be right about anything more than I want you to be right about this. 

 

How was that not a free to Ed for front on contact!

Lever has been good.

  • 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.

  • 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.
