There's the payback. But trac did need to tackle properly.

But good quarter and good to see the pies cheersquad have not much to cheer about

 

 

Regardless of whether we win or loose today if they keep up the intensity they’ve  shown so far it’s a big step forward

    Amazing what happens when a couple of your key talls finally stand up... Dogga & BBB

    Afl reserve is so yuck when we play Collingwood. Feel like I’m in a zoo.

    walk through and some stand behind the goals. I rather stand with Melbourne supporters than sit with ferals at Collingwood and Richmond games.


    Pretty good start, Oliver pretty much literally everywhere. Jackson getting back into it, great to see. A little too similar to last week with us going into the break with a lead, but oppo not capitalising. The Pies could and should have had a couple. 

    The difference will be how to come back from the break. We've absorbed a lot, so now it's time to make some hay.

    Sun is shining, it's glorious ☀️😍

    Their skills are good.
    Picking their way through our zone nicely.
    Similar to last years game.

    Can't praise Oliver enough.

    The ball to him is like a yo yo.

    Great for bbb to kick one and gets some confidence.

    Now don't drop off the intensity.


    We need to man up their spare at the back of stoppages 

    Dees warming to the task the longer the quarter went. Some good signs there. Maintain the efficiency, pressure and desire! BBB is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Jacko too! Turner great start.

    Certainly some heat in this. Hopefully some midfielders step up to help Oliver. 

    Our set up at contest seems to be a losing one again this week. Spilling out to pies players like it did swans last week.
    we look a bit lost ball in hand. Taking the wrong option often. Need to learn when not to roost but to weave through. Partly fitness issue

    • 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.
