First has never been the priority. Securing second by grinding out a win after a Perth trip is the aim. It’s going to take a huge effort from here in to the wind. 
 

Harris has been caught in between deep and up the ground. They need to get her back in position. 
 

Would like to see Kate Hore have a run on the ball to get in to the game.

 

Now we will see what they are made of. Against the breeze and we have been playing poorly.

 

Mick needs to send the message that when you switch you got to keep going to space. We kill our forwards by double switching 

Way too much pace on the ball right now. Need to slow it right down 


Umpiring is atrocious

McNamara is playing her worst ever game, completely awful 

There is not a big breeze,

get it done Demons. No excuses. Blues going harder

 

Caught holding defensively twice. Not sharp at all. Really need some composure now 

Why did no one push it through for a behind????


The lack of knowledge of the ladder and the implications of the commentators is pretty poor. If we lost we could have slipped to third which is huge

I was sure Vescio was going to win it. Deserved to lose tbh but we got there. Just

So frustrating watching our women try to beat one more opponent before kicking. Far too often they get caught or the kick is smothered. Lucky to get the win in the end.


Well what a heart stopper hung on by a fingernail. Carlton certainly applied a lot of heat and tackled ferociously. Well done girls.!!

If Carlton win tonight, it's 4 in a row for them. They're one of the form teams in the comp, and I'm glad the girls were able to get the win, even if it wasn't the big win we all hoped for to give us the best chance.

Never in doubt

Awful composure. 
 

The Mithen kick with 2 minutes left was inexcusable. Ball use the entire last quarter was crazy. 
 

But coming back from Perth is tough, even if you win by 80.

Hopefully the week off fixes Purcell up and Zanker too. The big body mids are just vital for us to be any chance. 


Jonsey Just called Vescio a she. Assume he’ll be cancelled by Monday 

Very lucky.  Succumbed to Carlton’s pressure,  but managed to survive (just) at the ‘death’.  ‘Bath water’? /  coming off a long road trip? Who knows? ……. but performances like that will not cut it in finals!

One of his co-commentators called Vescio a they and a she in the same sentence.
I have an idea what that says about the whole situation, but I can't say it because I'll get cancelled.

Terrible performance and pretty difficult to argue that the better team won. 

Perhaps the trip to Perth didn't help but, with so much at stake, we looked incredibly half hearted, indecisive and overwhelmed. 

Hopefully they can take the week off to rest up, refocus and bring a much better performance in the preliminary final.

  • 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.

  • 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.
