    Tyson couldn't have been that wasteful because the commentators were calling him our best kick with a 'dynamite' left. Obviously that's not normally the case but...

    Still gets caught way too much but his disposal was on today.

    A few odd ones against us but especially in the first half we were one the right side of the umps.

    Petracca underdone??  He missed 1 game!

    Every time Weid clunks a mark, or jags a goal, his confidence lifts a little.  He is holding his own during his small stints in the ruck, and he took his chances today when they were presented to him.

    Of course we would like him to do more, but right now he is playing his role nicely within the side.  There is no reason to drop him at this point as he's working really well in tandem with both Hogan and T Mac.

    Nice job on the 3 word analysis as well, joeboy.

    Lazy re-hashed assessment of Tyson. "Wasteful" is the last word I would associate with his game today.

    Other than that, pretty accurate.

    I tend to agree. There is a player there, and as much as I like Pedo, I think we should persevere with Weid. At least for another month anyway.

    Agree with comments on both the weed and on joeboy.

     

    Re the Weed, i watched his positioning today and it was clear he was no. 3. He was very rarely the target, typically ran the decoys or dragged defenders away from the pack.  The ball mostly went towards TMac or Gawn.

     

    I think this will change as he clunks more and becomes trusted.  But he is playing his role well and the forward line is clicking so i wouldn't change anything.

    I feel like I'm always the one being critical of him, but he had a chance early in the game to impose himself when Hannan skied the ball. He needed to launch at it and mark it in his hands. He tried to mark it on his chest and this allowed Webster to run back and spoil without giving away a free kick for not looking at the ball. Great spoil but an easy free kick to draw for a marking player.

    Tom McDonal burnt him in the first quarter on another opportunity where he had a nice run at it with an open 50, unfortunately the kick wasn't high enough and was intercepted.

    He needs to give us more in the first half of games if he is going to remain in the team.

    Great post Joeboy.

    But who's underrating Oscar McDonald?

     We now have a 10 year Full back. His first pack mark in the first minute against 3 saints was sensational.

    I think one of the best things about Oscar is that he is an example of what happens when you have a decent development program in place.

    Oscar came in with no real expectations and was allowed to develop at his own pace. Latitude was given for mistakes that were made and now we have a solid fullback.

    If he can put on a bit more condition without losing any speed, then we'll be set.

    • 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.
