    Swans just executing their game plan and skills better. They look like they have more time

    Don't enjoy potting players, but I'm yet to see anything from Laurie that suggests he's up to the level yet. Sub him off for Billings at half time.

    Training drill for the swans unfortunately. We really needed that call early when ANB should’ve had a shot 10m out directly in front. Umpires have been disappointing. So have we though.


    Unless this gets better might be bed at half time

     

    Ho hum

    👏Gawn. Tomlinson.  Viney.  Only !!! 

    Max is having no impact at all.

    One disposal. No marks.

    Tommo tick.

    Oliver looks good.

    Kick straight and we win.

    It's a big if though.

    This years game plan is looking a lot like last year’s and the year before that, and the year before that….goal kicking accuracy is shizen again.

    If you listen to everyone it's not even worth watching the rest because if you don't take your chances you're stuffed.


    Why the [censored] did an underdone spargo get picked ahead of the class-machine Billings?

    Not enough credit given to Swans. Suffocating our ball movement and cutting through our zone too easy with shirt kicks and switches.

    I don’t see what he adds? And Billings at least finds the ball


    Spargo around goal 🤮

    Fritta playing on instead of doing the team thing and taking the alloted time so our press could set up and players recover.  As a rookie i'd get it... but for an experienced player that's a shocker and SG should make sure he never does that again.

    All players should be on notice here not just Fritta.  Has to be a team rule unless only a few minutes of match time to go and we need a very quick goal.

    Edited by Demon Dynasty

    Spargo and Fritta have to nail those two goals, you don’t miss them at AFL level. 
     

    We aren’t playing well, but it’s the first quarter. Get a run on and get some confidence.

    Settle Dees. 1Q thoughts:

    - Viney, great as always

    - Sparrow, inspired

    - ANB, good 1% ers

    - Spargo, would rather Billings

    - Schache, don’t know if he is AFL quality

    I think we'll win this but geez we're still absolutely shizen going forward 


    What is going on with Fritsch?!

    • 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?
