    This team is hard to read correctly at the moment

    Ya think? I read that game like an absolute page turner and was very happy with the plot.

    We won this without the best ruckman this century.

    Get Maxy as fresh as can be for finals.

    The cheer squad was ordinary, but otherwise the game was great.

    Curious, merely quoting Fages? Or hammering home a view that you're still perpetually disappointed by the team?

    For Thursday night game against an interstate team, that crowd was a brilliant result. We pulled in more than Richmond vs Port on Thurs night, despite nearly 50,000 less members across teams playing. 

    Brilliant effort Dees fans. Ignore the noise about our crowds for dopey pelicans like Caro. We’re third highest average home attendance in the league. Were more loyal than anyone. Hats off!

    Aaaand officially an attendance record between these clubs in home and away season. Brilliant effort to achieve that on a Thursday night!

    Our supporters should be highlighted and praised in the media. Our attendance has been awesome this year.

    The bloke with the mike was in the way, and yet you still couldn’t hear the questions asked. You’d think they would have sorted it out for Fagan, but no.

    I find this talk of "loading" relevant to my interests.

    When we play our game plan and everyone plays their role , it’s Dees footy and it’s the best footy going around.

    When the stakes are for real the boys stand up and show who is number one.

    I actually think Jackson as a ruck doubles down on our pressure game.

    On the train now next to Titus O’Reilly who seems rather chuffed.

    Had real concerns in the first quarter but it finally clicked. The zone reformed, the tackling pressure returned, our clean up at ground level began to take shape and the link up handballs that have been missing for the past three weeks happened.

    Jack Viney, take a bow…you willed us back into that game yourself and the team followed.

    I had major concerns about the lack of contested marks we’d be able to take but it didn’t matter, it took care of itself. The flow returned.

    My favourite part of the night was not having to even notice May or Petty after quarter time because they just did their job, allowing the true Jake Lever to take flight.

    The feeling is good. Let’s hope this is the return of what we want and expect from this team.

    Go Dees and back in your box Brisbane.

    Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

    Great win.

    But they were clearly super fatigued.

    I had my binos on their bench for a bit in the third, and then at their 3/4 time huddle.

    They were completely exhausted.

    I do like this thing that happens whenever Bailey Fritsch kicks a goal midway through the third quarter.

     

    Note of credit to Sam Weideman; he actually took a lot of ruck contests tonight and made a pretty good fist of it, as well as competing pretty well in general. He basically provided the extra option for Jackson in the way that Jackson provides it for Gawn. It got the most out of Jackson and seemed to also get a good level of engagement from Weideman as well.

    It may even be a consideration for when Gawn is available again; the seeming madness of having two rucks and a ruck-forward, made possible by the fact that both rucks have clearly completely forgotten they are rucks and just run around doing all kinds of non-ruck things all day!

    Jack Viney fully fit is a scary sight

    The media talks about our pillar mids of Clarry and Trac, but a 100% fit Viney is arguably on the same level

    He has been massive for the past month, long may it continue

    FAGAN WAS RIGHT … “LIONS WERE LUCKY THAT THE DEES DIDNT KICK STRAIGHT” … IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNILIATION

    Impressive by Fagan. Clearly disappointed in his team tonight. Real professional.

    Was critical of him last week but boy oh boy was he huge today, Rick Lever you legend!! 

    Just the game he needed to get into some form. 

    The growing exasperation of the Brisbane fans behind me every time he took an intercept mark was marvellous. 😂

    I legitimately thought the cheer squad did a fantastic job all game, and really lifted in the second half and brought it home magnificently. Kudos to all. Made me proud.

    • REPORT: 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.
