Trac has been good in close. Two poor shots on goal and a bad entry undid all his good work but his work inside a big reason why we are so far ahead.

Trac quiet in 1st. Better in second and very dangerous. Discovered he has some pace and burst.  Needs Goalkicking practice.  #GiveEmHell

Thinking about what happened last week isn't making me feel better! Just need to keep playing our game it was fully on our terms.

5 goals up at half time.
Gotta be happy with that.

Still, this game would be over if we kicked straight that qr.
One sacrificial goat not enough for finals obviously.
2 next game.

Happier if Petracca’s DE% was closer to 80 than 50, we would be 2 goals further ahead! For a guy with his talent I find some of his disposals puzzling. Those 2 running shots at goal should be absolute gimmes.

The more I see the tg incident the worse it looks. Sounded guilty in his interview when asked about it..." caught up in the moment"

 

Good luck tg ...youll need it .

At first I thought a fine but now...Two weeks I reckon.

Agreed. Greene was the definition of aggressive. His response in the interview was hardly convincing.

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.

Perhaps the old “Jack Viney, bad look for the game” suspension?

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

We're a better team than them. If we maintain our focus in the second half, we win.

And we have clayton oliver and they don't

    Reckon Petracca just needs to kick a goal and then he’ll explode from there.

    Its a fair call

     

    One of the best quarters we've played all year, shame about the lack of accuracy in front of goal. That half is done though, gotta play this second half like the score is 0-0 and maintain the intensity of the second quarter.

    And how 'bout Luke Hodge interview after the game.
    Practically told Greene what to say.

    This. 


    Can’t let the Lions mids win quick clearances too start the quarter. Keep the pressure on boys!

    Joe Daniher has awesome taste in music. And that’s where his good points list ends.

    Clarrys field kicking has been sublime 

    Unusually, better than Petracca tonight

    Gee Jono Brown sounds real flat

    Likes Jacko though

    Great first half keep it up boys.!!


    Bris trying to flex their muscles. If we focus on footy we’ll smash them

    Many of the Lions players are down on output.

    The time the Lions looked best was when they are forcing and surging the ball forward.  That takes plenty of energy, and they aren't getting easy ball movement. Our fitness will set us well.

    They are playing a game we are forcing them into, which suits our style.

    Sparrow doing plenty of link work.

    Oliver, wow, disposal are impacting big time.

    River a bit nervous.

    We are marking everywhere. 

    Forwards working well.

    Great pressure footy, made it too hard for them.

    Expect them to come out with changes to style and with fire.

    Go Dees!

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
