    Gee we're looking better this week.

    our forward line looks dangerous.

    Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

    Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

    Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

    May immense.

    It’s 35-21 marks Port’s way.

    Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

    35 to 21 according to my stats

     

    The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated

    Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


    I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

    The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

    Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

    Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

    Salem started well.

    9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

    Should have been below the knee if anything.

    Best start weve had in weeks

    8 frees to 5. 

    so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

    Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


    We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

    Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

    Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

    Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

    Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

    I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

    • 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.
