    Petty looks as if he's already signed up elsewhere. He shouldn't be playing. Maybe he isn't a fwd.

    Don't know what's going on with Viney and Tracca.

    Sparrow never really dominates.

    Billings back to Casey.

    I don't mind losing but not like this. Richmond are terrible but we are letting them win from just lazy and poor efforts.

    When have we played this badly before.

    Even if we win there needs to be a microscope on this match.

    I'm sorry but we are not top four contenders. Im not even confident we are final eight after that half.

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    That may be the case but most of our errors have come from disposals that are under no pressure at all. Simple basics of the game.

    Is Petty anywhere near fit enough, looks miles off it.

    Yze has put together a game plan against us & it's working.

    He knows how our players operate & being around Melbourne knows he we can also crumble 

    And what about Mini for the tigers? Can he offer up anything?

    Not an excuse IMO, we are bog ordinary.

    Kick it to someone in a Dees jumper please. That would be lovely. Thank you.

    Stay Staunch. Keep the faith.

    I think we have found out all we need to know tbh.

    We won’t be contending unless we do a complete 180.

    What pressure, most of the turn overs are under none, make you wonder wth they are thinking out there

     

    You can forget about top 4 if we lose this one.

    Richmond are on. I'll take 4pts if we can overcome the pressure. It's a great game of footy.


    Top excuses for that half of "football"

    1 Too long between games (weve got rusty)

    2. Ground too dry, we read the weather forecast and they said it would rain

    3. Jumper clash, confused by the similarities in the colours

    4. Not used to playing on Wednesday night

    5. Cant hear our team cause the crowds too big

    How do you explain the first quarter misses? Easy set shots. I honestly don’t rate Choccos goal kicking coaching.

    Assume it is blowing a gale! Only reason i can think that you miss 15 metre kicks!

    Got the binos in Clarry's hand. I'd love to see it looks good but I'd be basing that on nothing but a doctorate of sight

    Or win.

    Dunstalls full of it but summed is up perfectly..... malaise.

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    Or cares


    Petty in defence? Is the forward experiment over?

     

    Billings doesn't really impose himself.

    If we can get a first round pick for Petty we grab it and run

    • 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.
