Two weeks in a row Ben Brown can barely give a bloody contest. Genuinely soft efforts for such a big guy.

Not soft at all - just physically knackered tonight.

6 disposals between Fritsch JVR BBB Petty - will never ever win this way,

They look mentally tired.

Probably from all the media interviews singing about our Adelaide efforts. Well that was then.

Max is gone 

One mark.

A sad barometer.

    Another solid prior opportunity 

    When they tackle we can’t dispose of it and are caught holding the ball. 
     

    When we tackle they dispose of it with ease.

    Umpiring has to be clear direction from their coaches

    To paraphrase Paul Keating - is this the thrashing we had to have???

    Questions will be asked. 

    So at half time.... 5 goals down.  You CANNOT play the usual spare behind the ball.

    I hope Goodwin changed this structural aspect up at half time so we have even numbers at all stoppages.

    Cause we've been getting smashed around stoppages (among other areas!)


    Without question every single time this club talks itself up we lose the Next game.

    Every time 

    Can we please top media interviews.

    Oh yeah three quarters and Petty still hasn't touched it.

    Not great.

    And can we please give Kozzie another week off.

    He is not a team player.

    He's a star but he's selfish and unreliable.

    [censored] me that was pathetic from our mids and defense. No pressure what so ever

    Not our year. In 2021 we beat all contenders. We’re just pretenders this year.

    • PREVIEW: 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.
