Conceded 7 goals in a row. 

and this is against a supposed rebuilding side missing its entire starting midfield and #1 forward

not great


Been impressed with Billings. Clean on hands, pretty accurate inside 50 and has stood up well in tackles.

Getting killed on the turnover

About to say the same thing.

Need to clean up the ball movement.

These turnovers are yuck - unfortunately this team continues to really struggle with physical pressure 

 

Richmond just cleaner by foot, they are controlling the ball.

I think you need to look at it in presepective though. Lot of young kids and are not as clean as the Tigers on the turnover.


Well we looked good for about 15 minutes before Richmond showed up. 

 

No idea why we didn't have a crack at Jacob Koschitzke in the trade period either

    Sparrow kick going inside 50 leads to a turnover and they go back up the other end with a few uncontested kicks - that’s been the story of this game since about 15 mins into the first qtr

    Getting slaughtered on the transition once again.

    Nothing has changed.

    and not putting any pressure on turnover

    they're going from d50 to f50 with no one putting a scintilla of effort against em

    Watching on TV. Could see Trac on his haunches and looking a little bit uncomfortable early in this 2nd term and haven’t seen him since.
     

    Can anyone at the game see him?

     

    Update: He has come back on around 24:00 and moving fine

    Update


    Issue looks to be 2 way running.  We are not covering their players but instead running off into space.  A turnover and we are caught out.

    lol why am i wasting my Sunday on this. 

     

    Gee some flaky defending. Howes looks a very easy player to hassle out of the contest. 

    Obviously time to get them in the sheds at 2/7 time for a re-think, re-calculation and a re-set. Momentum is king.

    • 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?
