    Petracca is having a bog of a game and not the good kind.

    Worst game since he had the flu game last year.

    Odds are his second half will be better seems to be a pattern

    I wouldn’t trouble the word “seriously” in this instance. 
     

    But I am more and more of the opinion that a lot of Kozzie’s issues stem from not being coached well enough.

    Of course I’m not happy. 
     

    But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

    I agree with you completely. The comp is probably the most even it has ever been. 

    BUT they lost their best mid just before the game, we are nearly full strength. A top 4, recent premier, hopeful premier again. The only reason this is an arm wrestle is because we have been very poor, not because they have set the world on fire. If they had, I’d agree that we are just battling with a team on fire and nothing to lose. 

    We likely win this, and should, and tbf will need to as I’m not confident about beating the swans over there in the last. So it’s super important we come out in the second half significantly less bad. Hopefully good! 

    But you’re right. The hawks ain’t bad at all they’re building a good team. I just remember many, many losses to them, and would very much like that not to continue for another 5 years at least haha

    This has just been sloppy by us.

    Mids getting crushed except for Jvr.

    Poor skills and some very poor decisions.

     

    God i hate this Hawthorn dirt bag of a team....hope we beat em by 1 point.

    Oskar Baker and Hugh Greenwood story made the throat lumpy..

    Really think that goes for the forward line....

    Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

    We are guarding grass and their chip kicks are making us defend. But it's hard chasing tail all day. 

     

    Need to go man on man for a while,  control the footy,  make them run AND KICK STRAIGHT FFS

    Spot on but it's not a good pattern .

    Laurie has contributed way more than Kossie but guess who will get dropped first.


    Just observing our lack of pressure when the Hawks have the ball. The umps call play on & our players don't move. 

    Then some of our players haven't bothered to man up and are just walking along the ground

    Hope it wafts into the Hawks dressing rooms. 

    We would have been better with Grundy instead of Gawn today so far. Reeves is cleaning him up.

    • 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?
