They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

Hope you're right.

Last match against Crows, we were 16 points up with a few minutes to go .... then lost.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    In the position he is playing, zilch. But what if a mid goes down during the game? He’s good cover for that purpose.

     

    Back at the 'G next Sat according to Tom Morris ?? (forget his name)

    Running at 3/4 pace today. Understandable given the past couple of weeks. Just do enough to win.

    Not sure playing at the G in finals is all that much of an advantage to us. It's not like we dominate there

    That can’t be right, it’s their home game.

    Assume the venue against the Cats was a typo. No reason to move it

    We play better at Doglands.

    That’s it. This is a dead rubber. We just need to get through it

    The whole side has been in quarantine and Aeroplanes lately

    Prediction 8 goal quarter to the Dees this quarter

    I feel like it’d be a great idea to have 2 game day threads. One negative, one positive. I drifted in here at half time and feel like I missed the part where we are 12 goals down.

    🤷‍♂️

    I think the mandate today was just get it done.

    No need for a smashing.

    Kinda shows but at least we are getting it done.

    May be due to Sydney v Gold Coast needing a venue.

    Playing in 18 degree heat in August off 5 day turnaround after a red eye from Perth doesn’t help.

    Boys looked stuffed on the HT siren

    Time to put the pedal down a la Brisbane yesterday.

    The last quarter for the last two matches haven't been stellar

     

    Bravery from Smith!

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
