    The best thing a Melbourne supporter can do now is import covid (Or another communicable disease) to Perth so we can play WC in Geelong. They have been smacked twice there this year

    LOL Ump paid a free against Roughead, who immediately starts to remonstrate asking the ump all the whys and wherefores. Fan in the front row screams out to the ump, “ANSWER HIM!” Certainly not what an ump would expect to hear. ?

    What’s the bet that fan is a schoolteacher or at the very least a dad?

    Most polite Collingwood fan I’ve ever heard. ?

    Definitely an authoritative figure with a projecting voice!

    Seriously the Doggies are a good outfit. Their forward connection and ball use is just something to marvel at. 
     

    And they have forwards that can actually kick straight.

    Ump: "Here's your answer. Jordan, under law 22.2.2 (k), I am reporting you for disputing an umpire's decision."

    We should have given BB back to Norf....at least that way he could help them beat Doggies and keep us up the ladder.

    Don't care what people say on here regarding our ladder position, but the Western Bulldogs are CLEARLY the best team in the comp.

    They are ahead on us so many levels. Their midfield to forward connection is light years ahead of us and they have forwards who actually impact and kick goals. 

    Their mids just do their role so simple. None of this Hollywood crap that Petracca, Oliver or Harmes have dished out the past couple of weeks. 

    Their midfield depth is scary.

    A well drilled and coached outfit. Individually though they are not any better so I have some hope that we can build to that but agree they are the best in the comp.

    Sure.

    Doesn't mean we can't beat them.

    We already have.

    This almost becomes irrelevant when we lose to sides like Adelaide, Collingwood and GWS.

    They're top team because they get it done against these teams when we simply don't.

    This is very strange logic Dazzle.

    Last year Richmond lost to Hawthorn and Sydney. Does that devalue their premiership?

    Its about putting together the best body of work you can to give yourself the best opportunity in September.

    We beat grand finalists in Adelaide on their home deck in 2017 and also beat eventual premiers in West Coast back in 2018. 

    We are one loss from dropping from top 4 next week. The fact we've put ourselves in that position by dropping games to bottom 8 side just shows that we still cannot be trusted once again, and that we are still mentally fragile.

    There are significant improvement needed over the next coming weeks because right now our destiny is in our hands if we are to seriously contend 

    History will tell you that you'll never win a flag from outside the 4. Doggies did it in a once in a million back in 2016, but it's a rarity.

    • REPORT: 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.
