Great kick from knuckles and great effort to square the contest by Petty, freeing up Chin for the overlap

 

JVR Viney Oliver our best so far.

    We're letting them play their chip chip game


    Lachie Neal powers out of the clearance and hits Hipwood on the chest, whereas Viney looks surprised he got the ball and just hoofs it around his body for a turnover. Absolutely zero composure for a team that has done it all. Something has gone horribly wrong in the minds of some of our best players since 2021.

    strange game, brissy playing emotional and aggressive and making poor errors. they should be well in front (especially considering the current free kick count) but theyve really messed up. if they controlled themselves better we wouldve probably rolled over and they would win easy, but now there's some fight

    This is the most blatant cheating I’ve ever seen

    Play the percentages there

    As bad as the umpires are, we're still our own worst enemy.

    Lions are [censored] dirty. Punching our players if they take a mark on them. Should be done for striking.

    I might be crazy but we look the better team. They're getting free kicks and we're also turning the ball over too much. If we tightwn things up more we should get more isolation forward. But they're at 60% F50 conversion. They don't lose at the Gabba when it's >50%.

    Super strange, if theyd played normally we would have rolled over, they just had to put some fight into us here.

    I’d still like someone in the club - high up - to call the umpires cheats. Cheats or incompetent. Because there’s no other explanation

     

    and for goodwin to call out the lions’ dirty ways in the presser - “they’re dirty c words “

    Not sure why it's not a 50 for Lever when the Brisbane player punched the ball out of his hands eons after taking the mark. "Oh I thought it was touched ump."

    • REPORT: 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.
