Max just switching into overdrive for me.

Yeah he was immense!

let’s say Gawn going into overdrive and Smith onto Dusty was the turning point 😂

    Sparrow, Clarrie and Fritta make that team better on paper, pig too. Going to have some selection headaches soon.

    Easy one :

    Sparrow for Harmes

    Clarrie for JJ

    Fritta for Wowoedin

     

    Licking my lips. 😋

    I think we need to seriously consider resting a few for next week.

    We can get Hibbo, Sparrow, Smith and Grundy to cover a few players. 

    Harmes, Jordon and Woewodin should be in the gun regardless of the result.

    Nice to see new PBs for Petty and JvR kicking a career high 6 goals and 4 respectively.

    Gawn huge in the last half.

    He is, but we are also a tall forward short.

    See how many intercept marks Richmond got today in our forward line.

    Keep Tomlinson back, drop Harmes/Woewodin/Jordon and move Smith forward.

     

    His name is Robert Paulson.

    Sorry, that's a glitch.

    His name is Brody Grundy

    Good win, they came hard and like the crows did with us last week we just never let them get away when things weren’t going our way.

    We are an experienced side and stood up when we needed to. Some very important players hitting form at the right time.

    Clarry, Fritsch and Sparrow all to come in. Forward line mix today with Fritsch added is probably the one we go with

    Watch the” Petty can’t play forward” posters jump on the bandwagon now.

    It's not about whether or not he can play forward, it's about what it does to the backline when he does. Thank god Lynch (and Nankervis) were out.

    Swings and roundabouts.

    A highly entertaining game.

     

    I was worried at times!

    Glad the Demons got the job done.

    A great win!

     

    GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

    We didn’t just get the job done.  They were desperate, and we ‘broke’ them!

    Fantastic last quarter but until then our midfield and defence lacked pace and co-ordination. Outstanding displays by Max the Magnificent and the much-maligned Petty (six shots, six goals). Melksham's skills with both feet proved invaluable with two crucial goals from acute angles.

    We now need to win only two more games to clinch a top-four spot. Win all four and second place is possible. Altogether a superb round of results for us, and we still have Oliver and Fritsch to come back. I reckon Joel Smith's pace and ability to read the play earned him a chance to start ahead of Tomlinson next week.

    And to put some icing on the weekend cake,  Freo's upset win failed to lift them on the ladder.

    We will fit Oliver back in, but not sure Fritz will be a shoe in, 

    Fritter for ANB.

    Not like for like, but good for average

    I can put my hand up as being in that camp, but to be fair no one saw this coming. Nothing he’d done playing fwd this year gave any indication he had a game like that in him.

    Can't agree with that. He looked like he was going to rip the game apart before he was injured the last time he played fwd.

    I saw it coming, and there's more to come

    Was tommo subbed off injured or tactical? Missed it at the ground...

     

    Tactical I believe. He didn't look that happy after the game. It was as if he saw his chance of playing finals slipping through his fingers. I feel sorry for him.

    They threw everything at us, but we stood tall and found our best forward line combination for the year with Petts, Roo, and Melky!

    The best part about Petty's game was that it was actually against a pretty good defence

    Agree to disagree, didn’t read any comment in the pre game thread that had Petty kicking a bag. I’m glad that he did. I just find it childish when people want to carry on with their “to those who doubted…..”, footy’s an emotional game. I was wrong and I’m happy I was.

    Thanks to Richmond and the MFC for a seriously entertaining match. Was introducing the sport to my Albanian hosts and not embarrassed at all. They loved it. Plus Yze! We have at least six new fans - but I think I can convert the whole village.

    • 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?
