Signs are ominous 

If Tracc, Brayshaw, etc Al keep turning the ball over under little pressure we are going to be very disappointed.

This game was always going to be tough.

We aren’t playing very well and we're a kick in it.

We’d be unstoppable if we kicked to our forwards like we do to their defenders. 

Yeah it’s always baffled me how we can kick it so perfectly to an oppo player standing on his own 20m from any of our blokes!

How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately 

Free against Grundy in that throw in. Ump22 again

    How many clear centre bounce tap outs can we win but still not win the clearance? 

    Thats because we only have one player capable of regular extractions at the drop.... Viney.

    Need Clarry back ASAP.

    There's only so much Viney, Max & Grundy (the latter two to a lessor extent) can do with occasional cameos from Tracc, Hunter, Gus & Jordy.

    Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!

    All allegiances aside, this is truly atrocious game of football. Apart from intercept marking, skills and intensity are absolute rubbish.

    HTB took on the tackler.... but nup. 

    Not one ump had the brains/guts to call it.

    What garbage

    Rivers was soft in the marking contest and the player calling for the ball has an obligation to win the footy

    Rivers should have used his body to shield the ball

    You're the same bloke who argued against forwards playing in front?  You're clueless

    Watch the replay and tell me how he out marks 198cm Mark Blicavs at full stretch on a ball that was well over his head. Best he could’ve done was halve it with more contact, net result the same.

    • 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?
