Media expecting 1-2 match ban for Darcy

Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

    Got a feeling the Eagles have a big late out and will be poor against the Saints. Just our luck they had one of their strongest sides and absolutely set them selves for us.

    Tim Kelly out hurts them. Have a feeling too that the Saints will get a rare win.

    I’m still scratching my head as to why West Coast looked like a comprehensively better side that day than us. If you were new to the game you’d assume West Coast were a top 4 team and Melbourne were a bottom 4. The loss of Lever hurt but you can’t just blame it all on that.

    The game won't be saved by the change of interpretation to the HTB rule.

    Reckon i just watched three throws in a row and at least two incorrect disposals completely ignored by the same ump within about 5 contests.

    He put this whistle to his mouth about twice but no courage to pay the correct decision and just threw his hands up instead to play on.

    This was all with line of sight right in front of him no excuses.

    The horror show circus continues!

    Wow the Hawks are impressive. Missing a few too

    aside from that choke against Port they’d be 5 on the trot and looking at finals

    their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

    they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

    really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

    I like the Crows list, their best players are very good, and I keep on expecting them to "emerge". Enough is enough. I am not a fan of coach sacking but Nicks has had 5 seasons, and they simply cannot play 4 quarters of decent footy, and too often play slack, boring, risk-free footy. 

    The young Hawks are the opposite. I love the way they are playing. Their young, no-name players are playing with hunger and aggression.

    didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security

    their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

    Was it the same teammate he badly burnt earlier in that same quarter? Ginnivan ignored him on his own in the goal-square and missed the shot.

    It was Day. Nothing happened between them in that last bit of play, so you could be right, it may have been something that happened earlier in the quarter. Perhaps Ginnivan made some sort of snarky comment as they were leaving the ground.

    Regardless of what happened, it’s never good to see animosity between teammates. Take that sch!tt to the rooms.

    they have the same fwds as when they won flags in Gunston and Bruest. Or do you mean Moore and Ginnivan? hardly reliable scoring small fwds

    Why couldn't waterman & Kelly been late outs against us? I bet west coast don't perform like that again for the rest of the season.

    Ginnivan didn't have time to comment, as soon as the team mates got around him, Day busted through, gave him a mouthful and some really big shoves.

    Yep, it was Day who got burnt earlier, but it was not a good look at all. Quite surreal to see a team mate so angry like that.

    Yeah, when I saw the first couple of shoves I thought Day was celebrating in a ‘macho, blokey’ kind of a way, but as it continued, it certainly did, as you say, seem very surreal.

    • 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?
