What was with JVR goal not allowed. At the ground and no idea why the review said it hit the post?

    Why on earth was Disco subbed in and put in the backline.

    Yep I was dumbfounded when I saw TMAc fwd. Make it make sense.

    Just more AFL HQ manipulation.

    5 day breaks only affect us it seems.

    Oh right, TMAC forward now.

    Tanking lite?

    Going by his goal kicking, possibly 😂

    Though his kick was a bit poor, barely made the distance.

    It didn’t look like it in the telly. And no one is questioning it. 


    Daylight between the post and the goal, but no disallow the goal. 
     

    The arc is the most corrupt display of bias I’ve ever seen.

    Maybe the dogs will get tired given they are coming off a 5 day break? Kind of like we do after a 5 day break? It’s about our only chance to steal a 5 goal loss here. 

    Are we going to do our usual thing and come back in the last to lose by less than a kick, and then claim it to be an honorable loss? That practice is a load of bollocks

    So we dominated clearances this quarter without Clarry or Viney doing anything. Interesting.

    Classic Goodwin.

    Try to cobble together some left field strategy with the season on the line.

    Did the same thing last year putting Petty forward in the dying quarter.

    Why is TMac playing forward? He has openly stated his previous injuries have resulted in him being unable to play forward, and the club have told him as much. He was nearly delisted as a result. How is this suddenly not an issue in the middle of a game? This club and coaching staff is a joke, honestly.

    Also, consider the Melksham experiment over. Might as well just retire tomorrow.

    Terrible quarter from the first minute to the last. We have maybe three players who want to be there, the rest are clearly looking forward to going on holidays.

    We are shameful 

    As bad as the umps have been ...yep..we have been five times worse.

    We have no midfield 

     

    It helps when you do.

    Remember when we played this mob in a gf three years ago?

    Seems like a decade and yet a lot of them are still out there getting pantsed.

    Make no mistake the score line doesn't count.

    We have been absolutely put to the sword tonight.

    This year.

     

    I’m not even angry anymore. 
     

    We are literally rock bottom. No fight, no class , nothing. We are fast becoming a joke and irrelevant.

    Disco and Petty back now and Tmac has gone forward. Probably because he was getting too close to punching an umpire in the head. 

    I’ve never seen him so angry. Can’t blame him. I would be suspended for life if I had been out there tonight.

    we are lucky to be as close as we are their kicking has been almost as bad as our team is playing. lack of chasing and tackling is poor. same old same old. not manning up, too many opposition players running free. where is that team that won a grand final, is there any semblance of that team left. very disappointed in the way we have crumbled since winning the flag. our window of opportunity is closing again.

    Just not good enough this year.

    Too many have gone past us.

    I fear we will need a helluva lot to go right to even make the 8 next year.

    • 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?
