Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

    Last week's game was almost finals like.

    I fear we are flat

    Just what the Afl wanted.

    Five day break after that game is a joke .

    Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.

    6 players with 1 possession or less for the  quarter

    Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

    Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

    Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

    Midfield need to lift bigtime


    This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

    Edited by BoBo

    They are clogging us up

    Did well to stay close

    Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

    Go Dees!

    Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

    really pathetic display so far 

    Settle down 


    Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

    Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

    McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

    May some great marks. 

    Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    Rivers back into the corridor with less than 20 secs to go - big brain fart.

    Grow a brain mate!

    Really poor from rivers

    • 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?
