Like how we fought back yesterday?

Meanwhile St Kilda finished the game having kicked 6 goals, 3 of which came in a 3 minute burst (i.e. 3 goals in just short of an entire game), in perfect conditions, against a side who hadn't won for a month and cruelled with injuries.

Sounds a lot like Melbourne, actually, and I guarantee you if that had been us with that performance you'd have lamented our terrible skills and inability to score.

Yup

Saints were rubbish. Played 1 good quarter

If Shiel didnt go off injured early they'd have lost by 10 goals plus

    Today, Freo's aging list caught up with them.

    They had 2 less days rest after last weeks game which was a heavy slog followed by a long flight to Tassie.

    A younger Freo would have been a better match today so surprised Lyon didn't rest some of the older guys.

    Hawks are very good but the final score was not realistic of the two team's capabilities.

    Top 4 positions wide open now.

    The way the Lions are playing against Sydney we will have plenty to moan about next week is well. Can't wait.

    Even more reason to be nervous for next week.

    I chose two great games to come over and watch...

    Franklin looks overweight - quite a paunch on him

    He's always looked a bit that way. I think his odd body shape makes it look worse.

    No longer than flying to Melbourne considering they chartered a plane

    Lock in the Dorks for three in a row I say. Who or what will stop them now? Injuries, not likely, one they don't get them (not footy related at least), two they have depth to cover most positions. Their direct threats all have major deficiencies that won't cut it in finals.

    Yes wait and see i guess, the grand final isnt played in Tassie tho...

    AFL got to have a good look at Mitchell from Hawthorn pretty soon. Could have done some serious damage to Fyfe with another covert knee to the hip area yesterday.

    Eliminated Crows best forward Walker for rest of game in previous weeks and probably these two were not the first two. Matthews even brought it up!

    Reminds me a lot of the sneaky sort that used to operate in the late 50s and 60s...

    • 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.
