ROOOOOO

One o too little mate 

 

I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying

    Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

    Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

    Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

    Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

     

    Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

    Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

    May looking good.

    Kozzie too.

    Chandler getting better.

    Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


    Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

    no love lost there!

    Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

    Ahead on all the key stats

    Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

    1st qtr 

    👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

    X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

    X umps 😡😡

    Nice comeback after the dogs start.

    Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

    Just need trac to stop fumbling

    Fix that and we win.

    Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

    They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

    Where is Max?

    I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

    7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

    Cheers.

    I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

    Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

    • 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.
