    Langdon got slaughtered by old man Sidebottom, let's not sugar coat it.

    Forgot about Bowey. 

    Take a bow.

    That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true.

    And we almost won.

    Gawn - Huge Heart.  Herculean effort. Huge   

    Viney - flew the flag then tried but overall not at his best at all

    Petracca - nowhere in 1st half / lifted to almost bring us home in the second half, but learn to tackle , often easily pushed away or evaded 

    Oliver - tried and tried and tried but many many irrelevant possessions , got better and nearly lifted us 

    May - looked out of sorts early but lifted to one of the best Dees in the night - such passion and heart

    Lever - big on spoils , had a few brain fades , why didn’t we keep Turner in so Lever could be intercept defender  

     Bowey - good and almost very good. Safe in disposal
 an important game

    Rivers - where was his energy. No go tonight 
 was surprisingly quiet

    Salem - ummm he’s not the player of 2021 
 looked slow and loose

    McVee - good game 
 Hill got 2 early but Judd was break even tonight

    Smith - had his chances - rather see him in defence  

    McDonald - retire now 
 slow 
 cannot turn 
 3 minutes - 2 goals 

    vanRooyen - young colt - raw - overawed -  will be suspended 

    Fritsch - brain fades 
 almost good 
 his defence is non existent  - players brush him off  learn to tackle !!! 

    Pickett - an almost game as usual - brilliant and poor in so many passages - could have won it but it’s often a case now of almost !!! 

    Neal-Bullen - good in patches - a defensive forward 

    Sparrow - nowhere in 1st half then better second half

    Chandler - did he play? Looked lost  

    Hunter - gets the footy BUT slow to dispose of footy - must improve decision making

    Hibberd - very good as stopped Elliott all night

    Laurie - no no no  was lost  almost delist now 

    Langdon - yes he was Sidebottom gimp but got much better in second half

    Max Gawn deserves to win another flag. He is arguably the best player I’ve ever seen play for Melbourne.

    A god amongst mere mortals. His [censored] plays better football than Mason “I’m a yank thug” Cox.

    Once again our backline delivered. I swear they must pull their hair out. Kept Pies to 60 points and watch our forwards blow 30 chances to score two measly goals in the last quarter.

    I haven’t been his biggest fan this year, but Max was immense tonight. A pity that most didn’t follow the example that he led by.

    The forward line was disappointing all night, as was the delivery into it.

    As for TMAC - I’m sorry, but even a 1-legged Melky would’ve done better tonight. And I have no idea what we see in Smith, he is well entrenched in our bottom 6 and yet he manages to hang around on the list (I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he is not an AFL quality player).

    Kozzie just needs to be told to go out and have fun playing footy, his heads all at sea.

    ANB was pretty good.

    Clarry 750 metres gained. Not useful?

    Grabbing the ball and kicking it forward as far of you can to an intercept is not what we need from him

    I am so frustrated with this loss.  Seems yet another wasted opportunity.  No real connection in the forward line and looks like we lose Roo.  But, I cannot understand why we re-signed Schache.  A former number 2 in the national draft, us being his third club, he clearly is not up to standard and as a result, we don't select him to play, when we are in desperate need of forwards.

    Yet we select a bloke that has only played 2 VFL games in 4 months.  I have the utmost respect for TMac, but sadly, I think the game has passed him by.  

    We have seen the lack of separation in our forward line several times this year, yet we dominated inside 50's last night.  Surely our coaches can come up with a better plan that what we appear to have at the moment.  So bloody annoyed.

    Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available.   
    But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

    • 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?
