Oliver’s last three kicks to unmarked Brisbane players.

 

Chandler, TMac, Brayshaw are not performing at the required level. I'd risk to say they are not in our best 23.

So we finally win a clearance ...the ball is dumped out of the middle with seconds to go yet not one tall or medium forward is sitting in the hole at HF!!??????????????????????????????

Trash. This entire game needs to get in the [censored] bin. 

Maybe time to step away from the game and computer. 


Stop fumbling, stick tackles and outwork them… 

We won that quarter.

Make no mistake. They are only in front because structurally we are missing our 2 most important players. Max’s injury really deflated the team, but they fought back that quarter. We are such a tough team.

I’m sorry but do I know you? Walk on sir. 

This next half is going to show how strong our character is. Everything that could’ve went wrong did.

Forget about that first half & come out strong.


I think everyone of Oliver's kicks have gone straight to a lions player.

Harmes needs to loft but he's certainly not alone.

Bbb trying and doing very well.

Jv isn't fit. 

Come on Tmac show some leadership.

Why ask Viney about Max. Why not just stick a knife in his heart.i.

I expect the skip to motivate the boys at HT. He doesn't want to dampen their fighting spirit.

So many fumbles, no control at all, a couple of players a pass and that’s about it. Very lucky to be this close. 

Boy, Viney was [censored] in that little interview.

Our blokes are playing bruise free, jumping at shadows tonight 


Not having a tall HF sitting in the hole for the center bounce 666 is unforgivable

We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING. 

Not trying to make an excuse but I am just wondering how much the hard surface of the ground is not being handled well by us. A surface that they would not have trained on or played on. We seem to be missing / not picking up the bounce of the ball

What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

Agreed …Grundy has def had the better of Oscar …a lot of our players are flat …as I am seeing Gawn but let’s see how they come out after half time before some very average comments from so called Melb supporters

That’s probably it actually.

Melbourne not ruling out that it’s an ACL and Gawn’s reaction is a very very very bad sign.

They are because our depth is a mirage but they aren’t good players.

Chandler is meh.

T Mc is just hot and cold and the ruck isn’t helping.

Gus is Gus. Probably a decent mid or tagger. An ok winger. A fraud at a half back against good supply, just wants to drop off all day long

Last week Brisbane led Port Adelaide by 12 points. They lost by 54 points in the end. Just an observation.

I haven’t given up this game.

Don't be coming in here with that sensible talk.

It's half time and we're 20 points down. It's the absolute WORST. 😜

  • 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.
