Can anyone explain the lining up of that kick after the siren - it was for OOB on the full but the man on the mark was brought in 10-15 meters.

Outside 5 cos didn’t stand mark immediately

But then was moved to 10 metres not 5, these clown umpires.

    I reckon we will run this game out but I’m really hoping to see a lift from guys like JVR and Sparrow. If they get involved and kick a few, we’ll be ok. We will need the lift.

    He chose the outside 5 option.  The best option for any kick from the boundary when its OOTF.

    But was then ordered to stand 10 meters away instead of 5.... go figure.

    Umps making the rules up on the run.  And as per usual its mostly us getting the rough end of the pineapple.

    a better quarter, but then that was not a particulary high mark to reach with only 1 goal in each of the first 2 quarters. really need to improve our disposal of the ball still pretty poor, lots of turn overs and kicking to the opposition. Gawny needs to change up his routine getting beaten too easily

     


    My app says it still feels like 26 degrees up there. Will takes it toll. Hopefully we aren’t a player down with Bowey. But this is where we’ll see if selwyn is worth his paycheck. Hopefully our more seasoned players will start to roll over the top. Carn Dees 🔴🔵

    Petty will make everyone better. Who goes to Petty JVR and Fritsch. Then add Kozzie and we have some very exciting forward half players. 

     

    Schache, sorry to say; no chase.

    • REPORT: 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.

    • 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.
