Kozzie sadly has hardly been even near the ball. Viney dropped off.

Congrats to the Weid.

Think you have forgotten Angus.

Clarrie been our best mid, and that’s where we need to be winning it.

But Gus is having another good game.

Trac needs to play the worker role and let Oliver just run free. Let everyone get a lick of the ice cream Trac, you’ve had yours.

    Desperately need Lever back in. Not just for the intercepts, but to organise and steady things down back. That Stringer goal where he just ran into an open space to mark would never have happened with Lever out there. Smith, Rivers and Hunt ... OK, but they need directing.

    Brayshaw playing well

    Yes been superb.  Just like to see him kick it to the top of the square occasionally coming i50.  A few too many shorties to the pockets.  Just mix it up a bit and keep the defenders guessing etc

    He was better when he was just the small forward. He's now playing up the ground more, where all his energy is just wasted. He's a burst player, and the best place for that is around the goals.

    I though the exact same thing. With lever in the side, that's an easy Lever intercept mark.

    May doesn’t appear to want to be responsible for his man tonight.

    Lead by example Steven.

    Leave Dogga in the centre ruck is a must.

    Harsh, been beaten by 2m Peter a few times, but done well 

    Crikey we make it hard for ourselves.

    I would argue that Smith (despite that one mare) has been our best.

    • 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.
