Will take it but that “deliberate” was disgraceful.  
Maggots zero feel for the game.

    Of course Cerra paid high when he held and dropped the ball in our goal.

    Fritsch should have handballed to Chandler. I know he scored, but dribbling it through from 20m when you've got a guy running in for a guaranteed goal isn't the play.

    Thought the same On the replay Chandler wasn't in his field of vision

    Kosi needs  to play crummer not tall

    Does my head in every week. Costs us so many shots at goal. If he stayed down instead of flying like an [censored] he’d probably win the Coleman!

    The Gawn and Grundy combination hasn't worked unfortunately. 

    Having an extra ruckman is simply robbing us of having a tall forward. Our CHF right now is either Pickett or Spargo.

    Bizarre coaching.

    I really wish the insufficient intent rule would be changed.

    Watching Tomlinson closely. The bloke has NFI. Casey is his team.

    Brown needs to be in the team at the expense of a small.

    Grawdy is fine, we can’t afford to have just the one ruckman but they shouldn’t be resting forward.

    Yep, can't remember how many times Spargo or Chandler have to contest the ball with guys 15 - 20 cm taller than them. Very stupid set up IMO.

    We're not gonna see pretty football tonight. We just need to do whatever we can to get this job done.

    Was going to say the same thing. BB would be better as a 2nd ruckman. Problem is I’m not sure Gawn is ahead of Grundy ATM 

     

    Have a bad feeling. Blues have a sniff and will come out with everything.

    We haven’t shown any composure all game and am doubtful it’s going to start now. 

    We need 2 quick goals to ice the game, but unlikely. Goody will try and shutdown the game down and I think it’s going to backfire.

    • 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.
