GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

Featured Replies

Shannon Byrnes might end up being value. Have liked his last two weeks.

 

Terlich doesn't seem to know how to handball.... Costly.

 

Terlich had two players free with a handball, he kicks to the top of the 50 to a 1 on 3 and turns it over. They goal.

We are gifting this lead to them


dumb footy cetre to CHF, chip it over the top for the short one, teamate could run on with the ball & goal.

Matt Jones and Terlich try hard but just don't have the AFL polish required as yet.

Effort is there though.

 

Tommy Mac doing his best Al Nicholson today.

Tom MacDonald getting killed by luenberger.

Watts not chasing or tackling.

Has Jamar won a tap yet?


McDonald does not belong at full back.

Watts' urgency - or lack thereof - continues to drive me up the wall.

Trengove a quiet start, Bruce? 6 tackles suggests otherwise!

No chance of a centre clearance, I suppose?

I really don't understand this - I haven't played enough footy to have a clue about WHY we can't get the ball out of the centre... Is it just skill and nothing we can do about it, or is it structures and coaching, or is it endevour??

sigh

0 possessions can be classed as quiet...

Feels like we are playing one down with Tom McDonald out there.

they may have to switch them as brown is slow now, IMO mcdonald could cover him. Frawley to take the Tall.

if we have, to Pedro could come back.

 

Dont know whats happened to McDonald this year, been very ordinary.

  • 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.
