    The timing of his jump and sheer reach is awesome. He's looking good.

    Brayshaw still off getting assessed for concussion 

    I reckon he’ll get subbed off. It was a clear ground hit and mcclugge should get suspended. Should have been a free and yet they pay the cheap one to the Lions 5 seconds later which results in a goal.

    Poor clearance work late.

    Why does it often Gawn wins the hit out but the balls finds only opposition players...

    Is it the position of our mids around the ruck contest?

    Uneducated post. Melksham could have had 3 goals.

    Clearance work in the first 10 mins was first class. Need to not overthink it

    May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. 

    Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.

    Is that the one when he tapped that one straight to the Lions player after our last goal.

    What’s wrong with the old ‘Jeff White’ thump it forward hit out?

    Brisbane got too much reward in that Q1. Melbourne clearly dominated the contest.

    if Milkshake could kick straight - eg score a snap from 15m directly in front 

    We’d be 5 goals up

    Hot start, could have been hotter with Melksham kicking a couple extra. Would love to blow them away now and then defend for the second half.

    Really he got a kick after that play 


    That was nice to read a GameDay thread for a quarter without a meltdown.

    Nice dumping tackle on Gus not picked up by umps.

    This!

    Just get the ball out of the way when there is less than 30 seconds... It's a no brainer.

    Sometimes we try to be too perfect.

    I’m probably one of the few liking Milkshakes game and role. One free kick wasn’t there against Harris-Andrews as the body work was to assist the mark.

    His one wood is his kicking so I’m backing him to slot more than he misses although he should have at least one on the board.

    Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things 

     

    How was that kick from Petracca. This move into the forward line seems to have rejuvenated him a bit, he's so much more dynamic.

    • 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.
