If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

    Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7?

    Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

    No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

    Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop.

    This is simple.

    Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

    Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

    GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

    How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

    Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

    Game is going past him at an alarming rate

    Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

    How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

    Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

    We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

    Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

    And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

    Edited by leave it to deever

     

    They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

    Hibbo: 1 disposal

    Toby Green: 3 goals

    Time for a rethink.

    Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job

    They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

    BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

    Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

    2nd qtr

    ❌ getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

    ❌giants switched on. Pressure acts  

    ❌ who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

    ❌ oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

    ❌ a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

    ✅ gawn salem May lever 

    ✅ Anb goal  SPARROW goal

    goody??? 

    ?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

    ? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

    ? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

    And if so WTF for??

    Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

    Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

    he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

    being tough isn't an asset anymore

    I would trade him in a heartbeat.

    He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

    Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

    • 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?
