As bad as it looks I can see it starting to come together.

You are a supreme optimist but good on you!
 

They are a tough playing group and recruit the same.. Have a tough totally uncompromising coach who just doesn't accept defeat and who never makes excuses. Just a couple of differnces from us.

Shits me how well North are going. We were right with them a couple of years back.

 

Let's be honest. That is where we are at. How we got there, who is to blame and what not is inconsequential in as far as moving forward. Mistakes have been made. Let's look at the game on it's merits.

We came in as a 5-1 chance today in a two horse race. That to me would say a five goal loss.

Negatives:

* run and spread is poor thus resulting in the huge disparity in possession.

* Hitting a target is also a problem.

* We need a target (s) up forward. Hurry up Mitch Clark and Chris Dawes.

* When the ball is going in fast to the opposition forward fifty, the back line looks shaky.

Positives:

* Max Gawn needs to be phased in as number one ruckman. Love his endeavour.

* The white flag wasn't run up. There was a little spunk shown up until the final siren.

* I'm thinking Shannon Byrnes is going to be a good pick up. He is having a go.

* Colin Garland = ditto.

No its not inconsequential. Blame is.

But that information if looked at properly, will show us where we've been wrong onfield, over the last 10 years, & so how we fix it.

our problems are no physical contests, & not defending against the oppositions players... Matthews is right.

too many Dumb Blond Bimbo's in the team.

Hey steve what medication are you on Can I have some


Agree to give others a go. In Dunn, Strauss, Taggert, Nicho. Out: Davey, Pedersen, Rodan and Terlich

It's more a matter that I never realised just how bad this team was. Sacking the coach will only make things worse.

Anyway, we're training well. We go extra well against the witches hats. Marvellous.

Oh, and our structures, systems, processes, fitness, key performance indicators and development are all tracking just beautifully.

Keep the faith ^_^

  • 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.

    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.
