If West Coast beats Carlton tomorrow and the Dogs beat Fremantle, there will be a two-game gap between 8th (either West Coast or Richmond depending on percentage) and 9th (Essendon), although GWS has a game in hand.

Also if West Coast beats Carlton tomorrow Carlton should sack David Teague. There is no reasonable excuse for Carlton to lose to the side West Coast are fielding tomorrow.

    Gosh I checked the score and saw the bombers kicked the 4 in a row to be 3 points up and I thought they will go on with it, then I saw the last minute and thought the wrong score had been put up. The tigs just went bang. McGrath is a big loss to the bombers.

    He’s an absolute gun of a footballer and spoke well in his speech.

    there's a bit of the titchell / smitchell about him tho - lots and lots of possessions but how damaging is he with the ball in hand?

    that said, would happily have him on our list but he should be priority #1 for the peptides to sign up

    How will the football journalists of Melbourne account for this topsy-turvy result? I was told the Bomber wunderkinds were now invincible.

    Clearly they will just have to talk about Collingwood more.

    Watching with "bated breath" the Channel 9 footy show today as to what will be discussed about Friday night's game. Last week a fat zero with tubby saying at the end of the program that they had already discussed Melbourne v Bulldogs earlier. Absolute lie and he was called out on it during the week.

    As to the commentators saying during the week that Essendon were the best team currently (oh FFS) give me a break. Now explain last nights result you muppets. Looking at you Taylor &  Brayshaw. How do you keep your gig at 7.

    Today’s The Age headline.
    “Tigers reinforce premiership credentials against valiant Bombers“.

    and this.. “The Tigers have now won successive matches for the first time since round two and 11 straight against the Bombers, erasing any doubts about their premiership credentials in a season where they have struggled to find a groove.”

    Doesn’t take much for the media Richmond bandwagon to revive. Beat fickle Adelaide and callow Essendon and they are favourites again. And this is called journalism.

    Serious analysis required of the relative benefits to the MFC of a Bulldogs loss/win today against Freo.

    On balance (but only just) I tend towards the wingman theory where it is safer having the Dogs play interference against Brisbane in the top two stakes.

    For those who think we will remain ladder leaders having Brisbane second when commencing the finals series is not a bad outcome perhaps

    So enjoyable being on top of the ladder on merit but the permutations are such unchartered waters for me at least.

    Just watching the show now and we have been given a very good rundown of the game as well as a Tom McDonald interview. Neil Mitchell must have got thru to Tony Jones. Haha

    Can we say go freo?

    We can. Although I've rarely seen a team with such ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Days like today is when you miss the early Sunday game. The price on West Coast today is tempting even with half a side.

    Watched that last quarter goal-fest in the west from Essendon and Richmond where just about every i50 resulted in a goal. 

    That's just not going to happen against us.

    • 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.

    • 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?
