Oliver - amazing first half

Brayshaw - tried but unsuccessful 

Bowey - record has ended

Jordon - kept at it

Pickett - only dangerous forward

Spargo - had little involvement 

Lever - overwhelmed and irrelevant 

Neal-Bullen- some minor touches

Sparrow - had no influence 

Bedford - 5 minute game

Harsh.

In the first half he was the number one reason we dominated. Was a class above all our other midfielders and took it right up to the Fremantle midfield almost on his own.

Second half he was tagged relentlessly by Aish and couldn't break the tag. In part because Petracca wasn't there to help out.

Trac - clearly not 100% (he looked slow, almost disinterested in some contests). Definitely not 100%

Christian was really sick yesterday. Couldn’t  even do a very simple favour asked by his management team.  Can’t believe he played today.

And that's how he looked. Played deep forward for most of the last quarter.

Disagree. He pushed the game but was unlucky to find opposition players when he cleared the ball. Oliver was becoming a problem for Freo but for some reason we benched him, and for 10 minutes. By then Freo had halted momentum. It was one of the most baffling coaching decision I have ever seen. I said to my old man “Oliver is pushing the play if we drag him Freo will take control”.

I hope that's not a prediction about next week's match v Swans !!!

I recon Longmire can coach. But yesterday's performance was beyond genius.

Wow wee. There are dozens of accumulators in the comp on 800K, but rest assured Clayton isn't one of them. I can't remember one cheap possession yesterday.

Agree ,Clayton Oliver earnt every possesion yesterday. If you want to see a freewheeling accumulator that gets cheap possesions, look no further than the bloke at Essendon who we didnt take. Thank God Clarry is not like him !

I meant Longmuir🙃

Weidemann - never looks likely (unfortunately)

Missed lingers badly

Petty not fit

may injury insurmountable

defensive structured stuffed

Too many injuries

Must beat swans

 

Melky: dismissed on 200

Interesting that he was sick the day before.

Maybe he woke up yesterday morning feeling better, put his hand up to play, but realised mid-game he didn't have the energy?

If it's just how he's feeling, I imagine it would have been hard for Goodwin to overrule him if he's declaring himself over his sickness.

  • 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?
