Last night was an absolutely amazing contest.

Mainly because the umps let so much go. They just let them play. Long passages of play without any stoppages, players working tirelessly to get into space and take the game on. It was a great performance by both teams (bar Collingwood's first 20 minutes and their forward entries in the last 5).

How many soft high tackles, slides, holding the mans and in the backs did they let go? Wet conditions, scrappy contest: they let them play.

Great game to watch. Reminded me of '90s football.

    Just saw the Adams video incident for the first time

    Angry little sh!t isn't he...

    Exposed temple area. Very dangerous.

    Should get a long holiday but it won't happen

    The broadcast deal stipulates that. The AFL want the players on TV. Means the incident is forgotten quicker

    Cynical attitude?

    Yep....

    Yes, was a cheap dogs act by Adams. Not just once either. If he gets off, it certainly sets a bad example to other levels of footy

    Adams wont get off.

    It'll be intentional, high contact with low/medium force.

    If it's medium force I think it goes directly to the tribunal?

    Whatever happens, it'll probably be 3 weeks down to 2 with a plea, although it deserves 4.

    What a tower of strength and great leader is Travis Boak!

    He consoled Ollie and other players last night, looked after his coach during the week, did interviews before and after the game, gathered the whole club in the rooms to sing the song. (BTW, I thought it was neat they sang it as their tribute even tho AFL had asked clubs not to).

    He showed similar maturity after Port lost John McCarthy.

    Boak strikes me as an extraordinary young man. Not as experienced but up there with Hodge as one of the very best captains IMO.

    Not a bad player either ^_^

    Boak is awesome. Remember when they were a rabble, lost a coach and president and so he re-signs. The next year they totally turned it around. Boak, Hinkley,Koche.

    Your underestimating our very own who i think is up there with the top 3 in the competition.

    Personally i thought it was disrespectful to play their stupid 'never tear us apart' song. I also disagree with them singing their team song. Why should they be any different to all clubs who paid their respects last week?

    What a refreshing change for a Friday night game?

    Carlton's playing tonight.

    mick's still got pull and he's no longer the coach

    Like you, I believe he has got his fingers in quite a few pies.

    Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

    Last week I thought Richmond were smashed by the umpiring all game and got the inevitable square-up in the last term. They won because GWS were even more putrid than they were. It was a shocking game, and this one's not much better. The Tiges are lucky they haven't come up against strong opponents in the last two weeks.

    A shocker....

    The decisions in this game???? what are Evans & Campbell doing to this once great game.

    He would thrive under Roos just like his little mate has.

    Id still take him.

    I've never liked him, I really hope we don't chase him.

    This game rivals us vs lions last year as worst game I've seen.

    Such deplorable skills by both sides.

    Carlton are [censored] terrible and the Tigers are a joke as well. I have no idea how this side can roll teams like Freo and the Swans.

    • 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.
