Im shocked that some people have Max over Trac. We don't even get a chance at the come back without Trac. For most of the game, that was one of the best solo performances I have seen in a long time. Max was absolutely fantastic, of course.

I went Max because he was great for 4 quarters. Trac was missing for 10 minutes in the second when they were charging. Although he did come straight back into it and kicked one to show how dangerous he was. I think you can go either way for me it’s more consistent effort vs outright brilliance

You're welcome to be shocked but 21 contested possessions and 10 clearances for a ruckman isn't good. It's out of this world good.

Thought Hunter might have picked up a few 1's & 2's.  Felt he was solid all night (26 possessions)

DE rating wasn't kind to him but I didn't think he was wasteful

Had the most metres gained by any player on the night (559) 2nd best none other than Joe Daniher with 490

 

Hate to brag but check the match day thread:

’Melbourne … M …. Gawn … 3 votes’

I told youse.

Top 3 standout and then any number of players could have filled the next 3

6 - Gawn (a colossus all night)

5 - Petracca (brilliant)

4 - Viney (a beast)

3 - Melksham (dangerous & productive)

2 - Brayshaw (solid)

1 - Hunter (solid)

Unlucky - Pickett, McVee, Bowey, Rivers


One of the easier BOG's of all time I would've thought.

6 Gawn

5 Petracca - he was excellent and the the third best man on the ground behind Max and Daniher who was very nearly a matchwinner for the Lions.

4. Melksham - such a clever player, sometimes too cute but did a good job on Andrews and then proved to be the matchwinner.

3. Viney - an amazing defensive and offensive game, again!

2.Brayshaw - Gus doing the team things again

1. Pickett - Koz was back to somewhere near his best.

I really liked Rivers, Bowey and McVee.  I thought they displayed great poise and footy IQ.  All three of them could easily feature.

6 Gawn 

5 Petracca 

4 Gus 

3 Melksham 

2 Hunter

1 Viney

apologies to Kozzzy, JJ, Bowsa, Salem, Lingers, Riv, Mcvee, Sparrow, and Lever. Ok my top 15🤣🤣

We are building!

Special mention;

Judd McVee

Adjudication;

Bounce downs at the centre square were by and large acceptable. Balls up were a bit of a  balls up, straight up and vertical gentlemen. Timid parabolic attempts are unacceptable. Last one of the match suggests senior umpire Nichols still has it in for Max.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Eric 'the Hipster' Wood gets this week's reality check award for disputing the final contest of the match. The ball landed on Jake Lever's chest. Collect your free eye check from specsavers. A monocle is prescribed.

Broadcasters;

BT managed to read the tea leaves correctly during the last quarter. Predicted a Demon victory with two minutes to go. Nathan Jones' special comments were intelligent and insightful.

From the director's chair;

A come from the clouds win that will inspire belief.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
