    based on the first half you'd have to ask serious questions of brown, brayshaw, hunt, anb, harmes in particular

    i can't believe how badly our form has become for the last six, seven weeks

    absolute golden opportunity in 2021 being wasted

    Lacking composure again. The dogs are making us come at them and then forward running players like Bailey Smith are waltzing out of contests.

    Incredibly frustrating to watch.

    No doubt the dogs are getting a good run with umps too

     

    We are being umpired out of the top 4. Last week, and again tonight. HQ want Port and Brisbane top 4 and we are the unlucky ones.

    Brayshaw no prior tries to get rid of the ball free kick goal to Dogs. Umpire doesn't even know the rule.

    Dogs took their chances. We didn't. They're cleaner in possession where we fumble.

    Clarry immense, Trac and Kossie look sharp. Defensive can't really be faulted but too many others out for form

    We can still win this but it'll take a big effort and someone taking the responsibility to kick straight.

    No cutting edge in the forward line. Which team in this years finals would be scared of this forward setup? 

    Salem turning it over a fair bit tonight.

    We are dominating hit outs but not scoring from clearance at all.

    Langdons form has been scattered at best since he got concussed. I think we're missing his form from the first half of the season more than we realise.

    As usual dont take our chances. You cant have half efforts from players in these conditions (call out to Salem and Brayshaw). Happy to be second to contest and players generally not clean enough.

    Well, that will be remembered as the half of football when Ben Brown lost me as a fan. We really need to finish off our work. it's reminding me so much of our 2017-18 era where we worked incredibly hard and got no reward for it

    It's also hard to tell on the TV, but is anyone else thinking that Viney is supposed to be doing a negating role on their half backs and getting absolutely annihilated?

    15 seconds before, Smith threw the ball out of a tackle…..nothing. 

    Two set shots from 30m out to Brown in a big game and he chokes both times

    just not good enough. Deflates the whole side. Trac and Clarry working their [censored] off for nothing

    Thought we started to get the better of them in the second quarter then Brown misses a chance to bring us within 4. Killer when they convert afterwards.

    Yep I’m considering switching off,

    boring [censored] football. Can’t stand watching Umpiring when dogs are playing. 

     

    14-4 free kick count at half time. The club absolute needs to send a please explain the the AFL about the lack of free kicks paid for incorrect disposal/throwing.

    • 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?
