    That was exactly the first quarter we needed. May's injury is certainly frustrating but I'm confident that Petty can restrict Hawkins if he stays on him for the rest of the game.

    Keep it up boys. Game will be over at half time if we can. 
     

    Sub May out now. Not worth the risk if he can come back in 2 weeks.

    Great first qtr….  Lots of pressure and spread when we have the ball.  Looking good.

    My take, he is either gone for more than 2, or it ain’t too bad, just needs a bit of good stretching like when I semi did mine (felt like an electric shock, but wasn’t too bad, then stretched it out and was ok).

    No way if it was touch and go would we risk him further in the game. Him running is a good sign

    Qtr time update from the ground:

    Top of Optus Stadium lit up in blue and red, maybe because officially the home team? Whatever the reason, loving it.

    Geez love the confidence.  

    Hawk/Cameron could catch fire. Try him on one leg if you need to in my view. 


    As long as Geelong don't kick 9 in a row we should be able to hold on from here in the worst case. This is a game winning lead at quarter time.

    Would be gutted if we make the Grand Final and May can't play in it.

    Dawn kicked a goal after the siren . . . Dawn won the coin toss.

    It didn't feel like the 1st quarter of Prelim, more like the 5th quarter of Rd 23, didn't it?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
