Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

I didn’t even know he was out there, this can’t be helping his confidence. 

 

Hogan is a beast 

Got howled down by the nuffies on here last week saying we should drop Weideman.  Open your eyes, he is so far from AFL level it’s laughable.

 

Game is closer than the score shows thanks to their kicking. We are over possessing and too many cute kicks but moving the ball more aggressively than we have all year. Brayshaw and Tyson both been very good but both have had some clangers. Our forward smalls play too high and we aren’t capitalising at the drop of the contest in 50. Need to get a couple of early ones and put them away. 

I must be watching a diff game. Tyson has been caught twice and lucky not to be pinged for another few. Disposal has been average.

 

Better 2nd half, but he has to get rid of ball quicker and cleaner.

 

The score line definitely flatters us. We are about even. Only difference is they can’t kick.

Yeah totally agree. We were reasonable in the first and pretty average in the second. Need to go for the first option a bit more. We also started to look a bit lost going into forward 50. Need to bring it down and get some forward pressure.

Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

If i can put it another way..Harmes...some good...a lil very good...rest meh... result..about even..

Nibbler..done some good things...stuffs his finish...a few bad boo-boos. Result.... negative.

Strap yourselves in / so begins the infamous Melb fade out followed by 12 goals by st kilda and inaction by Goodwin

You're quickly becoming a poster not worth reading, timbo.


We really aren't playing that well. Conceding soft goals as well. I want a ripping last quarter 

I’m so angry with that last goal, so soft and yet I could feel it coming. 

Jones has been great today except for the two play ons when he shouldn’t have but at least he was having a go.

I know we need to have high expectations, but we're up by 6 goals.  Scratch that, 7.

You guys are ridiculous sometimes.  Opposition sides WILL kick goals and WILL have some good pieces of play.  That's footy.  We've just had far more of them.

Hard to believe some of the negativity reading through this thread you would think we are 40 points down, not 50 pts up with a quarter to go. far cry from a few years ago hey...

Jones looks like a liability sometimes but jesus he works hard so impressive.

should never play on he is too damn slow

 

Weed kicks 2 and keeps his spot.

 

Cmon sweet, sweet %

Ten goal win is a minimum.

Good to see Weideman take his chances.

ANB missed a tackle earlier on a player who was already being tackled by Jones. So in effect, he missed a tackle on a player who not only wasn’t moving but couldn’t move.

  • 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.
