Cats will do their usual finals stuff then fall at the final hurdle.  Meanwhile Dees supporters will die a thousand cuts over next two weeks.

So you’ve written us off against port then

    Traccs lack of effort to chase there was deplorable.  One of his worst games tonight.

    This is classic Goodwin Melbourne watch us win 3 of the 4 quarters and lose by 5 goals. It's been his MO since day dot.

    Yeah bit of a throwback for sure. 


    at least we stemmed the bleeding.

    Let's put in a shift for 1 more quarter and get out of here with a 25 point loss and no injuries

    Not looking good but I haven't given this game up yet. Six goals is not out of the question.

    Yeah, what was that about? I actually hope his game gets highlighted in the media this week. He needs a rocket. Sloppy and not doing the team things.

    What to do about Tom McDonald. Not seeing him get up the ground to get involved much makes me suspicious that he is still injured. 

    Shame we didn't give a game to Weideman while he was out for two weeks. I can't see him coming in to replace McDonald but can we carry McDonald in this sort of form?

    Guess melksham is the other option.

    Yes.

    So glad we have not been smashed.

    That lapse in the second was surreal.

    Umps really helped cats but our backline crumbled.

    If we lose by six to eight goals id take it.

    Im worried about tmac. Not sure if we can carry him into a final. It was a bad time to get injured for him.

    Ridiculous comment.

    I want to see us out score them by 3 goals this quarter.

    Good way to highlight we need to fight harder against the big teams when they are on a roll.

     

    This quarter is big for us whether you think it's done or not. If we can run them and win the quarter it's enough of a platform for next week. 

    WE can still win this.

    • 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.
