Tonight is a really difficult one, as it was played so much in two halves and I am sure there will be a wide spread, but here goes.

How many to advantage? We still lost clearances by 7. Why is it that we get more clearances when we lose hit outs, or Max isn’t rucking? Clearly there is a disconnect between Max and mids.

Can’t believe Gawn getting so many votes. I felt English beat him around the ground and kicked 2 on him.

I gave Gawn 1. Soundly beaten by English but 25 possessions, 8 marks, 5 clearances. It was more towards a game from the Max we know. 

I also don't feel anyone else deserved it.

Picket??? Are u serious?? He was very very ordinary tonight and that crucial SET SHOT miss from 35 was unforgivable!

Hardest set of votes I've had to give in a long time.

6 - Max

5 - Gus

4 - 1 hand Clarry 

3 - Sparrow 

2 - Fritsch 

1 - May ( despite that howler to Bont)

We really missed Langdon’s dominance last night, Hibbo was good even when out on his feet, Weid went alright, the umps punished Jack at every opportunity and he gave them a few. We had no one who could go with Ugle- Hagen. That last 4 minutes cost us again.!!!

You want to watch how many time we got our hands on the hit out first and blew it. Also the number of time Gawn tried something different, big punch clear or grated it himself. He was close to our best last night. 

I was at the ground and Gawn was easily our best player.  English played a good game and you know, it happens.  Not that many years ago Gawn and Goldstein played on each other and got the 3 and the 2 in the Brownlow.  Gawn played a great game last night.  15 hit outs to advantage is an extraordinary figure.  8 marks, 25 disposals and was still trying his heart out right o the end.  English kicked 2 goals - the first when he was gassed and just sat back and waited for it to come over the top - May or Petty should've been on him at that stage.  The second was just a good goal.  Our mids bumbled and fumbled all night; Nibbler blind turning into tackles; Viney trying to break tackles and Petracca in and out when it suited.  Oliver gets a pass on the fumbles because he was playing with one hand and as usual busted a gut.

  • 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.
