Not at the game.

Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

I think we are trying to drag the Saints players out of our forward 50 by switching the ball and going short. In order to have a more open forwardline.

    JVR, Smith, Schache, Petty (if Tomlinson back in the team which he should be), Fritsch if not injured.

    Is Smith the sub?

    Defenders panic when teams have multiple talk forward to cover, imagine if we had another couple of marking forwards down there!

    Even moreso when the ball comes in quick and the fwds aren't competing against each other

    Kozzie 1 handball

    He needs to be dropped. He is not impacting games and nobody is doing him any favours by keeping him in the seniors. I’d give him 2-3 weeks in the 2s just to get his mojo back.

    I’ll say it - Pickett off Smith on

    Pickett needs to go back to VFL absolutely terrible performance. We need him playing well and he needs to go back to learn and find some form

    We need Trac and Kozzie to rise, or at least get the ball.

    I feel like we are being beaten at ground level (again)

    Our kicking and disposal efficiency is looking a lot better.

    Our F50 entries and general play look good.

    Steven May is brilliant.

    Is Kozzie asleep? He seems to be jogging around in a perpetual daze.

    If pickett can’t turn it around in the 2nd half he just MUST be dropped. Is sooo far off it.. Confidence shot.. Just can’t keep his spot in the side.

    Why try when you’ve got four more years in the bag?

    Sub Pickett out now. 

    Minimal effort from Kozzie. So disappointing.

    Pickett just watching there, applied zero pressure.

    Sub time?

    Goody needs to send a message to Kozzie. Drop him FFS.

    Cant keep getting a game on the basis of ‘game changer’.

    He hasn’t changed a game in 2 months!!!!!

    the commentators are openly barracking for the saints.

    we just look so far off it/ out of form 

    hopefully we run over the top of them in the second half

    Oh rubbish, he’s playing like a millionaire who thinks he’s better than what he is

    I’ve been lectured fairly solidly by some here for calling out Pickett’s performances these past couple of months. Obviously he’s got a whole half of football to make amends, but if this form continues tonight, those lecturers can stick their stat sheets where the sun don’t shine.

    disappointing quarter

    We are letting them stay in the game

    We seem so slow. No dare or run. By the time they move the pill forward, Saints have us covered. We look so ordinary to say the least.

    give kozzie 10mins in the next quarter if he is not showing any improvement put smith on. a lot of poor disposals as usual, just lucky its the saints that arent kicking straight. ben brown has show he can mark on the lead so why are we still kicking it to a pack. some of our player are just too slow in moving the ball on we have player open short that they could go to, to keep it moving but they go back and slow it all down before sending a long kick down the line where the saints talls mark it.

    • 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?
