    The main reason we lost to them last year was we had heavy legs due to training loads and the brilliance of Toby Greene.

    No Toby Greene this time. Another regulation 4-5 goal win coming up

    We missed plenty of opportunities to win this one in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but didn't execute well. 

    We'd only lose one more game for the year after that one too

    Agree, no Toby Greene, no training loads, and no Mummy who definitely made Giants walk taller!

    Be interesting to see Pruess against Max, followed by Jackson!

    Expecting a solid 5 goal win - even though would love to see a big win, but hard to argue with Demon game philosophy after last years ultimate success!

    Go Demons!

    Pruess should be suspended  for this match

    It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didn’t get to see much action up close. We were lethargic and made a lot of errors whereas they made every opportunity stick. Looking forward to a good win and seeing Max show Preuss who’s the boss.

    Pruess won’t be lining up from the looks of things

    As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tired…should get them this time

    They have a very, very good midfield, and then no other real strengths. Some individual players have real skill but our defence mindset should cover them.

    You are correct. The result is left resting with the umpires; their obvious preference(s) lie time and again with GWS.

    What a day this was, thought we might have blown our top 4 chance and it also turned out to be the last time we could go to the G that year. What happened next speaks for itself and it's time to atone for it this Sat.

    When going through the replays one by one during the off season I thought that last quarter was one of our best until that time.

    We didn't score but we did everything else extremely well

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
