He was a concern SWYL but perhaps not as big a concern as last week imo

 

Fair call. He still has a long way to go

The Wino was fairly quiet so his job may have been to negate his old mate

    Viney needs to be commended for his defensive job on Wines, he was basically a non factor. Viney offence stuff will come.

     

    he had 33 touches? lol

    Viney got destroyed 

    Wines just didn't have anyone else to give it to

    Pickett 4 tackles inside 50, Brown, Jordon and McDonald all 3.

    Love that.

    Seeing Brown with i50 tackles is fantastic.

    Perfect. And one of the greatest scenes of all time.

    Gawn confirming they did a block of hard training around the bye. 

    But said it wasn't a factor in their form slump

    Imagine if we ever convert more than 50% of our shots on goal. What a time to be alive that would be!

    Was thinking the same thing Jaded, would be great if we could turn them into goals.

    Well we can work on that, so happy.

    Imagine if Goodwin played Lever down back for 4 minutes, then in the ruck, then tagging a defender then on the bench then in the ruck again for no reason at all. 

    The no reason is he knew Jackson would smash Marshall in the ruck and our defenders were killing them in the air. 

    The way we play without a lot of uncontested ball use and flooding numbers up and back makes the talls so important and Port’s talls just didn’t have to. So they had to mix and move Aliir.

    For us it’s a matter of whether we can get the same control in the air on the mcg where there’s more space to cover and it’s harder to get pressure.

    Good win on a hostile tract. Good win and how a tall key position player makes a difference. Thaught Brown played quite well. And hats off to Petty.

    Yes a very diplomatic answer from Gawny, not wanting to see any blame for the GWS loss, etc., fall on Burgess.

    In the post game interview Maxy sounds like he's got a bit of a cough. ?

    NOOOOOO, fingers crossed it's not you know what??

    Thought we were outstanding tonight. Structure was on point and Port never knew where to kick, there just wasn't any space. Then when the last resort was to bomb in we just cut it off all night. Our system is exceptional and the players executing it are so committed. 

    Trac and Oliver immense. Salem doesn't know the meaning of missing targets. May and Lever fantastic. Will finish this later want to see the highlights!

    My work mate is Port. As per tradition, I will get in to work before him and drape a flag over his desk.

    Yes, Ken really didn’t put Aliir into a position to succeed.

    It was great.

    Am I the only one to notice they took ages to play our song after the win and only played it once? Even the DJ is salty that they lost by the look of it

    I actually think the doppy aholes started playing the Port song then went I [censored] we didn’t win quick change it.  Idiots.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
