fritsch done?

Seems fine. He’s on the bench just took some pain killers and is running the boundary. Chatting to the doctors.

    Lots of positives so far today, however:

    • Turner would want to get involved in this, Jefferson is breathing down his neck.
    • AMW has not been great. Looks a step behind AFL pace.

    Nibbler playing well. He’s everywhere.

    Yep, haven't seen this from him since early in the season. Absolutely a barometer.

    Really worried about McVee... couldn't see the bump well on kayo, but if anyone saw it, was there anything in it or just unlucky?

    hard bump. hopefully just badly winded

    JVR needs some grippo or finger extension surgery. He looks great but would be even better if a few more marks would stick!

    No much in it. Just a friendly body check. Must have just got him in the right spot.


    JVRs attack on the footy is outstanding so far

    many goals coming from it

    From my eyes nothing much in it, just got him in a soft spot with no malice

    Fair game

    I would pay millions for Waterman. Killing May on one leg.

    thank you, couldn't see any real angle on kayo of it

    The Dees need to settle as the Eagles are working their way back into this. This margin could disappear quickly.

    Gotta do better at the C clearance

    well apparently theres a rumour we're giving it a go to try get him


    Not watching live but looks like AMW is getting a fair bit of the ball, how is his disposal so far?

    May has the flexibility of a 40 year old. Just non-existent when the ball hits the ground.

    Wow Matt Hill’s commentary such a breath of fresh air. Puts in perspective how low the art of commentary has fallen since we lost Dennis, Sandy Roberts etc. It’s like listening to a grown-up again, rather than to a bunch of teenagers giggling at their own jokes.

    • 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?
