Yes, Sylvia was great in the 3rd.

By the way Id like to change my votes and give Garland a 7. 6 just isnt enough.

I'm deducting votes from the idiot Melbourne supporter who started hurling fairly nasty abuse at an older Melbourne supporter whilst sipping on his can of Jim Beam and standing in the 'no standing' area in the last quarter.


Thought that Sylvia was important in getting us back in it in the 3rd.

I only saw the last quarter, so I can't comment on the whole game but there was one passage of play in the last with Sylvia that really worried me.

McLean had the ball in the back pocket/flank kick it up to someone (can't remember who) then got the ball again and kept running eventually until there was a ball up at around Melbourne's CHF.

That whole time, while Brock was running his guts out you could see Sylvia (this in on TV mind you) just jogging up following the ball but not getting in to lend a hand. It was lazy pure and simple.

Like I said, he may have starred for the rest of the game but that really worried me.

He didn't star by any stretch. Was useful in our comeback, but really didn't have an influence on the game. Needs to really stamp himself in this second half of the year. Like I said, he was very good in that third qtr - but he needs to do it every week. Should look at Brock for an example.

Can anyone explain to me how Jeff White gets in the best players for Melbourne in the official stats?

God only knows. He was shocking!

Y_M, I'm happy that you are not quite as deranged as I thought. Takes guts to write that up there. Kudos.

wow. mucho respecto for giving credit where credit is due. (ive had a mexican themed weekend).

on another note, im not sure about wheatley...he got a lot of it, but didnt really use it. i thought pj and cj were pretty good.

brock gets a lot of it, but his opponent was tuck who i thought was arguably best on today...

Wonder if Richmond supporters think that Tuck was good, except he let McLean run wild...?

At the end of the day McLean is not a tagger, and his main role is not to stop his direct opponent. Of course he has to chase and man-up when the ball is going the other way (which he does, and he lays as many tackles as anyone), but if you play him on a damaging player, expect both players to get the ball equally.

It's a case of, would you rather the opposition tag McLean out of the game, or would you rather let McLean and his direct opponent do as they please?

  • 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.
