It's a real shame you can't rely on a 4 quarter performance from Melbourne anymore.

GW$ are a very good team - they weren’t going to lie down after QT.

    They made a prelim and should have won it last year if not for umpire corruption

    Never known a side like us to blow a good lead. We are incapable of playing 4 quarters. Billing’s continues to disappoint.

    Yeah and on that why doesn't anyone ever remember how lucky Collingwood were to get past them in that prelim?

    Our 2nd qtrs have got to be the worst in the AFL. Goody goes in with a strategy for the first qtr and then the other teams adjust and we get rolled.

    Over to Goody to shift the game.

    Essendon

    This game sums us up totally.

    On and off.

    Round to round.

    Quarter to quarter.

    Kozzie and Fritta too.

    Turn up. Don't turn up.

    Selections too. Good and bad.

    Maybe it's one of those games with scoring ends but I think I'm stretching with this.

    We looked so good for 20 mins.

    This is a must win game.

    Let's see if we want it.

    Windsor has been quiet with four disposals. Woey too.

    Anb and Kozzie and Billings all not playing their best by a mile.

    I'd put Milk in the middle.

    Some harsh standards being applied to us in my opinion. Giants have an absurd amount of talent and Kingsley is a coach that has brought the best out of them. It’s not really unexpected if we lose. They’re really good.

    We were outplayed in that qtr and they had more intensity at the ball. 

    We just have to come out firing again. They are not going to give this game to us. They are a seriously good side and need to be treated as such.

    Let’s come out and kick the first few hey?

    He has pressured his butt off 

    I agree but he needs to get the ball and do what he does best.

    He's there to get the ball and score. Don't win games from chasing the opposition all night.

    • 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.
