If we get in a close game in Adelaide the umpiring becomes stacked against us at the finish as happened in 2018 against Port and in 2021 against Crows. 

And 2023 against Port. 10 frees to 2 in last quarter of close game.

    Ok so Butler concussed Blakey who not only missed a critical part of last night but misses a game next week as well. 1.5 games in total. Medium impact.

    Hunter makes contact with Rozee, who gets up like a Jack rabbit, kicks the winning goal and then goes on to have 27 touches the following week against Richmond. Medium impact.

    Exhibit A - victim is concussed. Misses remainder of game and a season “in balance” game next week against Brisbane. Medium impact.

    Exhibit B - Victim is the second most influential player on the ground after the incident and then goes on to have another near BOG performance the following week. Medium impact.

    How’s that for consistency from the MRP.

    Blakey was not concussed. He passed all the tests. They subbed him out because a a toe issue he took into the game. From the Horse's mouth

    Hawks going for 4 in a row against the Lions, would be lovely if it happens.

    Hawks playing very well. doubt they can keep this going for 4 quarters. They have typically tired and fell away in the 3rd quarter of games against good teams this season.

    Although they came good in the third quarter against us, and out scored Port in the last half last week. Cause for optimism

    Hawks have kicked 4 in a row taken the lead with 5 mins to go in Q3

    I hate to say it, but Mitchell has the young Hawks playing a really good style of footy. Fast, exciting and daring. Having said that, the Lions' weaknesses are on full display - lack of defensive run from the midfield, a defensive network that cannot manage fast ball movement, and little physical presence.

    People seem to think that because Melbourne has some weaknesses, we can’t possibly win the premiership. All teams have weaknesses – look at Brisbane now! Even if they get up to win it, they have still been put to the sword by an inferior team.

    Collingwood, Port & Melbourne are the only 3 teams than win the chip this year.

    you simply can’t win a GF with Daniher & Hipwood as your key forwards.

    Not if Daniher keeps trying to take speckys in the ruck.

    I think he’s gone 3-4. That was nasty.

    I’m not so sure, to me it looked like the second Hawthorn player that got tangled up in that contest caused  that violent ending to the tackle.

    • 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.
