    Blues starting to panic.

    Pies getting their turnover game together off HB the last few weeks.  Bit of a worry

    More stoppages. Less chaos. More contest to contest. Exactly how we beat them Kings Birthday last year.

    You can’t panic, and try and run and gun. That’s how they want it.

    Does anyone else find it funny that Buckley has been involved with the Pies almost non stop for 35 years, yet only played in 3 losing GFs and missed the two GF wins?

    IIMO the difference in forward structures tonight is akin to what we’ll see tomorrow night. One team with two bigs and not much by way of small goal kickers, and the other with one tall (yet to score) and one or two dangerous smalls (Elliot, Daicos).

    Only looking to see the Blues strengths and weaknesses. Fair chance we’ll be playing the Blues with them coming off two losses.

    Just so I could watch Joel Selwood interview a 10 year old auskicker. 

    He was so uncomfortable.

    Maynard drives his head into the turf and the commentators give it the all clear. He obviously took a dive and drove his own head into the turf.

    Such a dog.

    He'll get off again.

    It was such a textbook piledrive from Maynard, I'm hoping a few weeks.

    Commentary so putrid about it - if there was ever a player with prior form.

    Owies flipped him. Dislike Maynard all you want (I most definitely do) but that was all on Owies.

    The Pies tackling has got them back into the game. They were asleep for the first 10 minutes.

    I take back what I said about the Blues not having a small forward.

    • 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?
