First half, good.

Second half, thinking about Port Adelaide.

Spargo can kick longer than 40 metres.

    Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

    We had the game iced at half time and then took our foot off the pedal - not ideal -but there it is.

    Dorks came back hard but Petracca, Oliver, Viney , Max lifted as required.

    Yes we produced some bloopers .... that is football ... not the reason for suicide that some of the negative Nancies on this site seem to find.

    Take the points and take the percentage and move towards September.

    PS 1. I'm waiting for the day Kossie actually hangs on to one of those speccys  - it will be mark of the century.

    PS 2. No doubt who Jason Dunstall used to play for !

    PS 3. My ideal finish to this evening will be watching the paper baggers get a jolly good reaming.

    Another 10 goal win game against a team that absolutely bashes us into the ground.

    Teams are absolutely throwing everything at us and we're still winning by 10 goals. It looks uninspiring but these are hard fought wins

    Now to do it against decent oppositon. Freo, Port, Carlton, Collingwood to come.

    Petracca hobbling. Hope he's ok. Didn't look great. I notice he's being interviewed on fox. What's he saying?

    “Full credit to Hawthorn”, “one game at a time”, “gotta keep doing the one percenters”.

    He's taken the boot off. He can hardly walk 

    I hope it’s a corky not a foot. Limping badly.

    WHAT HAPPENED TO TRAC???

    Ankle roll in the Sicily tackle. Spoke to Ben Dixon after the game and seemed ok. Should be good to go next week.

    Tracc might be out next week by the looks of that unfortunately

    Dunstall obviously hasn't forgotten about Earl's knee.

    Well Petty has shown us why Goody perservered.

    A lacklustre win despite the score somehow. 

    Props to Jv, Oliver and Trac.

    • 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?
