Now that's what we lack coming inside... a beautiful finish kick

 
 

Umpires aside we are struggling big time. Very same same. Lots of players out of form. Can't score easily and defence is starting to falter 


What about the free kick for Weightman just jumping on players heads and getting no where near the ball? [censored] [censored].

    And again, all our hard work undone because we don't man up. Bont free? Lever outdone by a third gamer?

    Neither of those two disposals that got to Bontempelli were handballs.

    Well done umpires. Pay [censored] frees all night so that our players can’t take a tackle and reset. 

    They've won. We should get ten frees in the last five minutes

    Hagen done bugger all all night and now kicks this. That's the difference, they've kicked the goals when they had to, we haven't


    Game on the line and our midfield gets touched up. Nothing more obvious.

    Holding the ball, then elbow into Salem’s head - ball up

    Harmes and Hibberd are hopeless.

     

    Yep they've both done very little all night. 

    Would have have had Harmes on Bont and Viney on Libba all night

    Another coaching fail.

    AND TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND, HANNAN SEALS THE GAME.

    If we lose by a point the clearly the goal umpires are also in on the bet 

    Reload we will beat them if we meet again in the finals

    We were poor. Gave the dogs so much space

    Good mini comeback, but when the chips are down Bont is  king out of the centre


    Win or lose. Goodwin needs to lose his [censored] about the free kick count. Make it public. Times to do the Clarkson tactics. We are being shafted in a massive way.

     

    Fair few plodders out there for us tonight. Brayshaw, Salem, Harmes, Hibberd, Langdon all poor.

    That’s one win in the last month. Coaching staff needs to reset this group. Season is teetering on the edge now.

    • 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.
