Gee it helps to win a clearance.

Well done Smith.

Pay attention Tmac.

Watch it again and just before the ball comes in Tmac gets body on Weitering and prevents him getting to the contest

    It's not the umpires' fault we are behind. It's our wayward forward line yet again. In an arm wrestle, the winner is always the side that converts its chances.

    Same strengths and same weaknesses on show. Bombing it to no one. Tmac can’t get off the ground at all. Well done Joel smith. Only for him we’d be in all sorts.

    no composure, trac the main offender. Struggling to move the ball.

    but we’re still in it. Hoping our superior fitness can see us home.

    come on dees.

    At this point I'd sun Schache out midway through the third for McDonald.

    Yep been saying that for ages. His hack kicks are meaningless 

    Are we talking about Petracca?

    Has been a liability so far. Hopefully he can light up the second half.

    Get TMac off and try Schache. Can’t be worse.

    Won't be better. I can guarantee. There's a reason he isn't on at the start when the heat is on. Soft as half-melted butter.

    I cannot believe what I saw that quarter. Never have I see such a blatant attempt to get a team back into it than that.

    I really don’t understand the rules of footy anymore. That was incomprehensible.

    Yes, TMac needs to retire. respectfully

    We're at 57% efficiency going forward. Our issue tonight is actually giving away territory on the flanks.

    Didn't see Spargo that quarter.

    Jordan ain't no Gus.

    Fire up Fritta.

    Anb too.

    Chandler and Kozzie ain't that much at all. 

    Smith a Lone hand fwd.

    Tmac see ya later. Tx for some memories . You should not have been there last week as well.  Could you just show a glimmer of gusto in perhaps your last game.   Fgs.

    Bring on the sub.

     


    The lack of foot skills in our team is glaring, isn't it?

    Pickett set the tone early by giving up the shot on goal Smith had early in the game.

    He will be suspended for his bump on Cripps and rightly so.

     

    Won't be much of a loss tbh on current form. Unfortunately the next cab off the rank would be Bailey Laurie and that fills me with very little confidence.

    Tries to be the tough guy too much too.

    Just get a kick first Koz.

    Undisciplined.

    They completely changed the momentum and also denied us getting the lead back. Disgraceful. But doing as they are told.

    TMac is a game killer and they have hom next season as well!

    Takes the biggest defender..hasn't been true for seasons,now he just gets in the way and crushes our hopes.

    Faark! 


    Commentary completely ignores the ARC. AFL shysters

    Huh? I think without him tonight we’d be getting absolutely smashed!

    Mate he's had a putrid first half. Dinky little 5m kicks that gets directly turned over. 

    Running at 55% says it all along with just 2 tackles.

    It's Jake Lever, Petracca and May who are keeping us in it.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: 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.
