Max was holding his knee as Cox took that mark. He then hobbled to the bench and that little [censored] Ginnivan had a go at him on his way past. Max gave him an absolute spray

Slow movement from defense is killing our ability to score, need to be more daring I reckon and accept that we will turn some over but at least we have clearer path to goal

No thanks.   They kill us on turnovers through the middle, should be in front if they kicked straight

I hope Viney puts that little gutter rat on his [censored].

    covering transition from d50 was shaky that quarter, really need to plug the corridor. 

    Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well

    Says Max is off injured online?

    what happened there?

    Cox up to his knee and boot dirty tactics.Did it to someone last week or the week before.Deliberately puts full impact into his opponents back with both knees or feet. You will need it to be shown from a different angle.

    Midfield getting pantsed again today. Losing clearances and contested ball, giving them free reign to take it quickly through the corridor. Oliver a lone hand. 

    Spargo had a great second quarter. Huge pressure and clean kicks going inside 50. 

    Jackson is a shadow of himself at present and is getting outbodied too easily. How any league footballer can miss goals from 10 meters out with little angle is beyond me.

    We’re not converting opportunity when we had the momentum. Will be a tough fight from here to get up.

    A week of kicking practice for Jackson.

    Meed more from M Brown too.

    Hibberd has been good

    This bloke is such a big game white line player.  Anyone who says Hibb is done & dusted well think again.  Our best down back so far by the length of the Flemington straight

    Just a matter of time before their midfield dominance, attack from the breakdown and run through the midfield overwhelms us, straight kicking or not. Unless we [censored] this and really make them pay from the contest and turnover, they’ll start piling on goals. No idea where our team’s gone, but they’re a dwindling shadow of last year, and it’s utterly horrible to watch. 

    lost that quarter, so often we lose the 2nd quarter, hopefully we will have one of our fantastic 3rd quarters and put them to the sword.

    Dominate first 20 minutes of quarter don't convert, momentum swings rinse repeat.

    Been the case three weeks in a row. Exactly same vibe as last three weeks. We don't win from here unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat. Pies are very well coached. No way they have better cattle than us but if teams defend us in the air it's all over.

    Owned the first 20 minutes plus let them back in late. Half-time reset it won't be easy, we can prevail. Do it Demons. Battle is Midway.

    MFCSS? get some resolve we have untapped reserves

    Turner going well on debut, especially early.

    Bowey is well out of form unfortunately. Hunt or Rivers would be more effective on form.


    No fluency or rhythm. Lead in legs. Hopefully pies poor goal kicking continues because they have more energy and zip.

    little angle

    Is that a joke? 

    We don't look like we want it like we did last year. Lacking the will to work and compete at the level required. Shocking withdrawal from the contest at the end then against Mihochek. This feels like a loss coming and we are heading for scrapping for a top 4 finish after this.

    Similar feel to last 2 games.
    Far to stagnant going forward.
    And kick straight when we've got control.

    Atmosphere is unreal. The stupid comments are cracking me up. Chanting USA after Cox misses is the best thing ever

    How many points do we need to up by at three-quarter time to be a chance of winning?

    No pressure what so ever then. Just allowed them to waltz it down to there forward line

    Why after any team who gets the ball in their defensive 50 are we allowing them to waltz down the ground and let them kick it into their forwards 50 with no pressure. Been happening for too long.

    Time to put this Ginnivin kid on his [censored]. Little [censored] mouthing off to Gawn. Who the hell do you think you are? Have you won a flag or been an AA 5 times? No. So shut the [censored] up!

    I think it is best not to pay attention to him and just land some nice hard tackles on him at every chance.

    And can our forwards lead once on a while. Not enough movement

    • 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?
