    We'll win. GWS are bang average. 

    I want to see us build on our improved contested work from last week. And hopefully some players form improves particularly Kate Hore. Shelly Scott has been very quiet as well this year. We have a tough run of fixtures coming up against Freo, North and the Lions. We can't afford to have our best players down on form if we're to have a chance of winning those games

    Agree with all above.  We have shown in drips & drabs that we are good enough to challenge this year, but dribs & drabs will see us falling short again.  We need to start asserting ourselves, with everyone playing their part.

    2.2.14 to no score GWS. Dees with the wind in the first qtr. Well on top

    We should be further in front. How did Harris miss that goal?

    2 excellent deliveries from Mithen to put the ball on the chest of Harris and then Hore. Hore converted. Bad miss from Harris

    Better quarter that and our backline were excellent. I must admit that West is playing really well, Just wish she could kick. Lauren pearce has been great as well.

    Dees 2.3.15 to no score for the Giants.

    that qtr was an arm wrestle. Giants defending stoutly but are offering nothing going forward. We should be further ahead but if we keep the pressure on i think the dam will burst in the second half

    2.7.19 to zip past halfway in the third with Giants kicking with the wind in the last.

    MFCSS says it’s predictable that the Giants won’t miss their shots in the last.

    There is something wrong with our kicking for goal. I know it is windy but there is at least 5 points that should have been goals so far in the game.

    Shelly Scott shows how its done. We needed that. Atrocious goal-kicking that qtr. 

    The Giants have offered nothing offensively so we should close it out from here

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
