Hutchins marks and goals but with 24 minutes gone and 26 points down, it's too late.

Another one to Hutchins and it's 20 points.

    Anyone know if radio mentioned if Bail is injured? Haven't seen him out here for quite a while and we do seem to be one rotation down on the bench

    I wouldn't worry - the commentators wouldn't be able to identify their own thumb if their life depended on it

    All over. Scorps lose by 24 points - poor kicking and a lack of discipline costly.

    Sounds like we were umpired out of it!

    no standouts overall but best for mine were Toumpas, Grimes, Riley for his second half and maybe Terlich. Don't let the goals tally fool you Pederson was terribly quiet today.

    The logical ins for next week would be Grimes for Jetta and Toumpas for Kent.

    Some conjecture that Tyson may miss as well.

    So Riley gets 24 touches and had his name called twice...

    Barely touched it first half when there was a bit more speed in the game. He was only having 5 minute bursts before going to the bench. Second half he was in and under almost every pack and spent a much bigger % of time on ground. Has good hands in close, but his lack of speed and stamina will have him found out in the next level up

    What is the standard of our opponent like?

    Those pushing for selection have got to be playing excellent footy.

    Footscray were fluent and skilled in movement. They'd have about 6-8 blokes who could step into the seniors confidently. Casey worked hard but couldn't string plays together like the opposition.

    Riley was great extracting the ball from packs.

    Grimes was clean in the contest, he created play and used the ball well through the corridor. I've been a massive knock on him in the past but today he looked good and could step back in.

    Terlich was strong in the contest and gave a lot of drive. Put his hand up also.

    Toump faded in and out. Has a lot of poise but not sure if you'd line him up on the wing in the seniors and probably a couple in front of him for a back position.

    Fitzys fustrating in the sense that with a bit more mongrel he'd be being playing 1's. Won some good contests out of the back line in the last quarter but the game was over.

    I don't think it's best to bring toump back in against the ultra pressure of Freo. Let him keep plying his trade unless injury means choice is limited. Sounds like Grimes is a given though. You can guarantee he will be hungry and will do everything to stay there.

    • 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.
