I’ll never understand people getting riled up about the umpires. they are terrible every week! and we have double the frees than the Giants

But each to their own

But each to their own . 

It's included in the price of admission DD.

It beats beating the poor dog.

    Should be ahead - 2 bad misses by Max and Sparrow 

    And Sharp.

    Our finishing / conversion is a bloody disgrace.

    I'm really really happy with our start.

    It's been fantastic, but over the last couple of years, how many games have we blown through poor conversion.

    Not enough communication between players going for the same mark.

    Gws crumbing better as a result.

    Lever standing tall.

    Game plan is [censored]. Slow sideways ball movement.

    Nothing had changed since last year 

    • Shocked 1

    After a shaky start we have our defensive set up going

    Good intensity 

    Just the usual issue of fwd line connection

    15 inside 50s for 2 goals


    Great to see Tracca kick that for just so many damn reasons.

    And the joy on his face.

    Sensational.

    Not sure about efficiency or possessions but Chandler is covering a hell of a lot of ground

    These umps are making it up as they go along.

    What a finish from Trac. 

    35m check side on the sprint in the wet

    Still no first disposal for AJ

    Hope he gets involved before being pulled for Langford (my guess)

    • 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.
