Oliver's disposal inside 50 has been poor tonight, you're right.

That and always one too many handballs outside 50 when a long kick is the best option.

    Too many airtime hollywood handballs at times,

    Wow, Port ought to be flogged for effort since half time. Some of their chasing and defensive spread has been pathetic. 


    I'm not one to pot the insufficient intent rule, but that call against Gawn was plain incorrect.

    Oliver's game tonight has been a bit millionaire TBH. Everyone but him is just playing efficient forward moving handpass game. He is not on the same page, and we pay the price over and over.

    How do you get deliberate kicking towards your own goal?!

    This game is trash. 

    We haven't played that well at all.

    Just cause I was interested, in 2013 the Roos kept us to 28 points, our lowest score in that period although it was under Neil Craig. Admittedly they kicked 150 points against us but they also weren’t a prelim finalist the prior year. Just for ****z and gigs. 


    We're winning by 50 points having played 12 minutes of entertaining football

    Wow even Viney is doing the head-flick. That's poor, and the kick for goal got what it deserved.

    Still so much improvement in this team and we're undefeated after 4 rounds, beaten two of last year's preliminary finalists and only conceded 1 goal in 3 quarters and 11 minutes. Yet all the media will talk about is Carlton...

    To be fair Carlton's first 45 minutes are fire.

     

    Little cheapy there for Port.

    Think we've played some bruise free stuff this quarter 

    Seriously, was this team actually 2nd on the ladder 5 H&A games ago?

    Hinkley surely cannot survive this.

    • 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.
