Sydney breaking our tackles too easy.

    Trac is struggling with the quad. 
    They have done a great job tagging and illegally blocking Oliver. Love how the umpires turn a blind eye when it’s Clarry. He will never win the Brownlow the way the umpires hate him.

    The Swan talls are double teaming Maxy much of the time and starting to win the aerial battle.

    Get BB playing higher up the ground a little more often to help out.

    Instruct the smalls and the mediums around the drop to stay out, crumb, feed and run it back in to a more open forward line with Fritta, Melk & Kozzie lurking.

    A lot of basic skill errors, we should used to this pressure footy.

    Jesus christ where is Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Kozzie and Melksham?

    All senior players that have gone MIA.

    Brayshaw looks completely cooked with that knee bandaged

    Play the man and you give the opposition extra fire.

    I remember in the GF when the little bloke from the Bulldogs stood over Max - not long after that, the game changed

    -8 in clearances. Not getting much drive out of the stoppage.

    Gonna be a grind. Sydney's fierce attack at the footy is what keeps it rolling their way. Need our mids to lift at the drop of the ball

    Where moving the ball to slowly and getting smacked in clearances. Midfield need to lift big time.

    The swans at 2.57 (out to 2.75 pre game) was outrrrrrrrreageous value

    Even if we win (big if at current rate) still outrageous 

    swans can win it all this year 

    Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

    and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

    May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

    Franklin gets a tap in the back & goes down like he was shot. May just needs to keep his cool in the 2nd half & not get sucked in. Umpiring pathetic. Someone needs to clean up that [censored] Papley too.

    We lost our momentum with the double 50. No need for may to lose his cool. We were on top. 
     

    50/50 game. Swans hard at it around the ball. They’re a tough outfit. 

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach.

    Max and Jackson have gone missing.

    Incredibly disappointing performance from both so far.

    Melksham is doing better than you think,.

    Couple of bad handballs trying to release to an on goal runner 

    not alone but - swans have read play well

    I count 3 goals for Sydney directly caused by bad decisions, Lever not handballing out to team mate boundary side, turns back into traffic, ball spills Hayward kicks the opener. May getting sucked in by Buddy off the ball 50 m and goal. And Max trying to chip a 20m ball to Ed surrounded by 4 swans opponents. Dumb footy like this is the only thing that stops us winning this.

    • 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.
