    We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

    THIS!

    No point in waiting for a positive comment during the game call from these sheet callers.

    NO forward structure but ahead. 
    Ridiculous.

    The heat on Oliver in this thread is quite unexpected.

    Stanley Laurel Harmes and Oliver Hardy show is not amusing.

    Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

    But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

    We have to shut him down I agree. 

    It would help if his direct opponent around the ground (Brayshaw) completed some form of defensive gut running.  I saw Merrett compete and win a ball on the wing and run forward whilst Brayshaw hung back.  Merrett hit a team mate on the forward flank on the chest, fan past for the handball receive and nearly lace a player at full forward all whilst Gus was 70m away.

    All the great defensive work not being rewarded in our forward 50. Frustrating to watch. ?

    Game day threads are always a head scratcher.

    Oliver has continued what he started last week at half time. Take the game on, dont be afraid to take risks to generate run.

    When it doesnt work it looks terrible as he gets caught. But at least he is taking the game on the way the coach wants.

    I understand that some supporters will attack him for it when it doesnt come off and claim him saviour when it does.

    demons getting ahead of themselves picking a small forward line. Fritch has done well and so has mcDonald but they have always had another tall taking the oppositions big men as well. The next half will show what sort of team we are , are we fighters and worthy of being on top of the ladder or are we back to failing against weak opposition as we did against adelaide and collingwood.

    Heat of the moment comments ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating. 

    Clearly a goal.

    Kozzie needs recalibration at Casey 

    Do we put him into the middle to shadow Merret?

    Leave Harnes in there also.

    Tracc to HF.  Viney relieves Tracc at HF and plays a bit of time in the middle on occasions ...Kozzie goes forward again when he does

    Kozzie needs to pass the ball off more often especially when having set shots from an angle or a long way out.

    Well I must be in the minority I don’t think Ben Brown would have made the slightest bit of difference so far.

    I thought we lifted in the 2nd when Oliver started to dominate.

    • 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?
