The change in our gameplay was stark in the last, much less playing on. Last qtrs def still a worry

But gees Iā€™m proud of the boys, played their hearts out

Playing on and moving the ball quickly is quite taxing. A few might have spent their petrol tickets. The more you play that style you run out the games better.

    An excellent defensive effort to hold it together after Disco went down. Huge game from TMac. I have been critical of Howes in the past but he played his role well today.

    Langford looks a star of the future.

    Was hoping we scored 80, ended up >100 which is where we need to be. +46 points on our average this year.

    Kept them <100 which is the other half of what I wanted, especially good result without May & Lever and with Petty up forward.

    Maybe weā€™re not dead yet.

    No player is closer to Goodwin than Koz. He played for his coach today.

    Tmac is a modern great of the MFC. Nobody talks about it, but he gives 100% at every contest, he has been loyal, and I hope he gets to 250 games.

    25000 supporters at the G. Just as impressive as the boys today.

    We were loud today. I was proud. But we need more.

    Gotta say that was a great gritty win.

    Really happy for the club and especially the players to see reward for effort.

    Our disposal still needs work at times. When we execute those kicks through the corridor it's awesome but the likes of Salem and Viney can do it better.

    They've done it before, they just need to take a short breath rather than rushing the kick.

    We also still need to lower our eyes more coming in But a good step forward.

    Just good to see us grind it out.

    Great tackling pressure. Great win

    We will be ok , with that group of youngsters.

    Langford was really solid and Bowey was BOG , Kozzie, Kolt, Lindsay, Windsor all great.

    Old stagers Viney and TMac played terrific footy.

    Petty at Full forward with 4 was promising and will hopefully give him some confidence in the coming weeks.

    Best feeling ever.

    Donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen more of a pro at the Dees than T Mac. Exceptional game and Petty just reminded a few that he can play the game.

    I see him walking his pram down Glenferrie Road with his newborn and he looks knackered. Kudos to him for turning up every week!!

    You can drop the modern bit. He is an all-time great.

    Come on fox footy - is it to much to ask - to see the debutants being sprayed with Gatorade?

    Loved Bowey and Koz today - epic!

    All anyone wants of us is effort from our team, that's all we can ask every week.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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 ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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 ā€” something they havenā€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyā€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearā€™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?
