Good thing we have a record of strong finishing. On that basis our poor kicking doesn't matter that much.

Go Dees.

Destiny is calling.

 

 

We have to come out firing. If we have a good third quarter it’s done. But if we let them get back in the hunt it could be costly. They absolutely can kick a big score on us as shown by the first quarter.

all brilliant that quarter 

Joel Smith keeping Cameron quiet 

Salem seems to lack intensity

Salem is really slow.. like his little legs are pumping but he never gets anywhere :D 

 

Stating the obvious that we're killing them ... shame the game hasn't be buried.

Should be at least 7 goals ahead.

Hopefully the missed shots for goal don't come back to bite us.

Good first half. 

Defence on top.

if we could kick straight, it would be game over 

Dees should be 8 goals up 

need to keep on top 

Cameron still dangerous

Lions form coming into this game was a mirage. they are a better than average team and not much more

That’s a very very risky comment, tempting fate. They get some momentum, and things can change. Hopefully not…

Stay positive bingers, still 2 quarters to go regardless


Great quarter lads, keep it up let’s put the foot on their throat this quarter. Oliver has been unreal. Hasn’t quiet clicked for Trac. I’m betting he turns it around and has a massive second half.  Go dees

Riewoldt and Jono Brown trying to justify Toby Greene's bump on the umpire. Seriously give me a break, no room for that crap in the game. Multiple weeks for me.

we know we came back from bigger margins, and the lions will know a 15minute slip from the dees like we did against Geelong gets them back into the game. So the Lions will come out hard this quarter to try to turn it around. we need to stand tall and extend that lead, we need to starve them of chances and impact their confidence around the ball and goal. Go Dees

Premiership quarter?

That was some kind of half from Oliver, far and away BOG. Some better play from his teammates and we could be further in front. 

Some of my thoughts are:

- we got the game on our terms that quarter, we were able to set up and prevent them from having any of the goals out the back they had in the first quarter 

- Oliver and the midfield got much better at winning second and third balls, clearances wise they still seem to be better but we’re working harder

- we had a period where the ball was camped in our forward 50 but it took a while to get the goal, it was crucial we got that reward for effort otherwise I could’ve seen some frustration brewing

- inaccuracy has cost us from having the game very close to put to bed. Petracca x2 was the most frustrating and TMac missing his one chance after having a quiet game was annoying in particular

- third quarter is huge here because we let them get a sniff get ready for a tough final quarter. 

- them constantly winning the centre clearances is concerning and I really hope something is done about it

Hope we come out and [censored] superstition into submission

 

I hope this ‘reset’ mentality is applied to quarters. 
Need to refocus and smash them this second half. 🔴🔵

  • PREVIEW: 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.
