    May all your dreams come true.

    If anyone wants to clip this magic moment and let us all lip-read her epic 'thank you', it is just after 3:38:00 on the Kayo broadcast.

    Seriously, I nominate it for video of the week.  absolute   magnificent

    As far as backline goes, we look way more steady with the 3 talls down back with Petty freeing up one of May/Lever to intercept.

    Positives - Viney immense, Oliver influential, Van Rooyen silencing the doubters, Chandler on the rise, Lever making key intercepts, Gawn/Grundy combination grinding the Tigers down, great team effort in the last quarter, huge crowd.

    Negatives - vulnerable against speedy counter-attacks, a bit lucky the under-strength Tigers missed a few very gettable shots at goal, Steven May again below his best.

    Verdict - a gritty win, and in the end that's all that counts.

    Agree, Petty has to go back. Hopefully JVR can build confidence after that last Q and be our prime target up forward

    Goody in the post match -

    "We were thinking of subbing Rooey off."

    What convinced you not to sub him off?

    "He took one mark"

    Love it. 🤣

    Good win,  sometimes you need to grind it out.  I usually hate umpire bashing because I try take my Red and Blue glasses off but it is hard.  But after scrolling through twitter I wasn't alone in thinking it was horrible and sided with Rich.

    Still some stuff to work out, Petty up fwd is done, only an in game move now.

    Our back flankers and pockets need to sort out who is going for the tackle or smother, they and May are all sitting back to get the easy kick.

    Gawn/Grundy can get back to it

    And Ben Brown is needed to start in that side, can be subbed if not affecting the game, but with Gawn and Grundy he is a threat. More than Melksham anyways

    25 points down would have to be the biggest lead we’ve pegged back since the Geelong round 23 2021 game?

    Did anyone else think the umpiring was questionable, or was that just me?

    When even my kid sister recognises the umpiring is [censored]... yes, it's questionable

    I know we won and it was more gritty than pretty football but what the eff, how shocking were the umpires !! 
    They were a disgrace.  My mate who barracks for Richmond did not disagree. Using his words ‘we had a few dubious ones go our way’.

    Anyhow, got the four points, one week at a time etc, etc.

    Thats a relief. We gave up many similar leads last season.

    • 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?
