And what Sparrow or ANB are any better?

Your having a [censored] laugh... at least they know how to tackle. 

 

Why are we still leading/kicking to the pocket when we're 3+ goals down??

    Hipwood is just trying to block in every marking contest. Someone has to make the umpires aware of it. It’s killing us.

    Gotta reset real fast. Hard tag on Neale right now. Need to clear the 50. Tmac needs to push up to the wings so we can maybe take a contested mark. 
    This game is going to be over real fast if we don’t wake up.

    They are not why we can’t win a clearance or take a contested mark. It’s just ignoring the obvious problems to blame the umpires. 

    Itd be worth a doctorate thesis to analyze the confidence levels after receiving unfair treatment from perceived to be unbiased adjudicators.
    Agree we are playing [censored], but it’s easy to go into your shell when it feels like the worlds against you.

    I must be watching another game. ANB and Sparrow are totally useless. Wouldn't make Norths team and yet we carry them 

    Sam Weideman 1 disposal, Melksham 2 disposals and Hunt 2 disposals in a half of footy.

    Absolute disgrace. I'm off Weideman. He's [censored] useless.

    Brisbane’s talls dominating all around the ground. Tommy and weid need to forget that first half and rebound quickly.

    4 to 10 (Brisbane’s way) centre clearances and 14 to 22 (Brisbane’s way) clearances.

    That’s the issue right there.

    Yep smashing us out of the middle and we can't transition out of defence. Clarry needs to lift big time.

    • 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.
