Three Quarter Time

Casey Scorpions 7.8.50

Northern Blues 14.7.91

A much better quarter but the Blues are well in control.

You wouldn't believe it's 1st v 12th!

    Cook gets his first but it's still the Blues by a big margin.

    How has he been today KC.

    Cook that is?

    Struggling like most of the small MFC contingent. The most impressive of the Demons is Michael "Pickles" Evans who is boring into packs as if he hasn't missed most of the season with a back injury and Leigh Williams who is lively up forward.

    Meanwhile, Casey creeps closer with another goal but it's too late 11.10 to 17.7 at 24 minutes.

    I am surprised they are this close

    Casey will get mauled against that Carlton side.

    ....unless they are still tanking.

    Interesting that Williams is doing so well. Could be that he gets a late call-up rather than Cook at some point this year the way he's improving.

    Interesting thought - especially considering his near death experience only a couple of months ago.

    One would have to think that if Cook cant get a call up now, with the dearth of tall forwards and the overall lack of numbers at this "junk time" of the season then maybe MN has already decided that he wont make it.

    Thats because Williams is going to be one hell of a player.

    Keep an eye on the kid, he is only going upwards.

    Went to the game today, and while I don't like pointing the finger at young players, I have to admit that I wasn't impressed with Cook today.

    He's still young and I hope today was just a bad day at the office, but he failed to have any real impact on a day where he was needed due to the lack of Melbourne players playing,

    To be fair, delivery wasn't great but he didn't do enough for my liking. I know he has the tools to be a good players, I just hope he shows something in the remaining weeks this season, because if he keeps playing the way he did today, he'll have a battle to get a new contract.

    I am a Cook fan and have gone into bat for him before, but today he just wasn't good enough and I was really disapointed!

    Sad to hear. He was showing a lot of promise 4-5 weeks ago.

    The selection of Cook at 12 was wrong especially when we could have Darling or Atley or someone that was capable of playing AFL before 2015; bloody dreadful decision.

    Quite a few of our selections are turning out that way.

    Yes they are and all thanks to Cameron and Prendergast I reckon you me and old dee could have done a better job. Notice how the faithful have dropped off him over the last half of the year, where's all the support gone?

    Watched a bit of the Box Hill v Coburg game today and saw Maric running around, another wasted high draft pick.

    Great post - balancned, with no hysteria. I hope Cook turns out to be a good pick. He's going to have to work hard to get there it would seem, based on Neelds recent comments about him not being fit enough yet

    Agreed. He will have to have one mighty pre-season to ensure he "stays" a listed player. It does take key position/ruck players a few years to develop but he seems to lack the true footy smarts and to use his body.

    (maybe add to the list of 10 players missed ...Jack Darling, Shaun Atley, Ben Jacobs all were missed here)

    • 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.
