    I hate to say it.  I love JVR, but he's just not there at the moment.  TMac tries his heart out, but I think the game has past him by now.  Ordinary from Clarry and Trac tonight.  We just don't have a functioning forward line.Cover Fritta and we are gone at the moment.

    I thought Petty started in defence

    Yeah he did, my bad

    Oh please, we had just as much to play for as Essendon.

    Good on them for pumping us, we are downhill skiers at the best of times.

    People will agree and disagree, fact is we went out in straight sets last year without a whimper.

    This performance shows me that if a few are off, do others stand up?

    We’ll probably respond next week, then who knows after that.

    It’s Essendon FFS.

    So we're 5 goals down. Those 5 goals we let both there ruckman kick. 

    Good they can stand out in the rain and cop it.

    This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

    I thought Goodwin had learnt from last year... Maybe we are wrong 🤔

    What about the two our ruckman should have kicked.

    The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing.

    Where the [censored] are our dangerous tackle frees? 
     

    Redman can flop around like an ice skater and get one. Petty gets pile driven into the ground with out the ball and gets [censored] all

    Our players are slung or pushed so many times after   they have kicked the ball.

    Oliver did try to impose himself in the last, too little too late.

    May is worrying at the moment.

    Getting this to under 20 points would be a huge win.

    • 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?
