they rebuild over an off season and half adozen games...when its still a work in progress for us after 5 years.

They haven't done a re-build.  They have just done a renovation. Unlike a knock down and re-build (which we have been doing since 2006 ?), their foundations haven't been replaced, merely building on what is there. Their true re-build will take place when the likes of Roughhead, Frawley, McEvoy, Burgoyne, Birchall, Gunston, Shiels, Rioli (none are younger than 27) start getting on or retiring.

    Pretty epic final 5 minutes of footy over in Adelaide. I'm not sure to be happy that Adelaide lost or disappointed Port Picked up points to clog up the ladder.

    Im glad Port won. I prefer the logjam than some teams getting a jump and breaking clear for a top 4 spot.

    Adelaide are nothing special.

    The more you watch St Kilda now, the greater Nick Riewoldt’s career gets.

    I guess it all depends on the situation later on in the year. Port losing may have helped us with regards to our finals chances? I guess a lot has to play out first so it's all hypothetical at this stage.

    Haven't seen a match from the new dome in the West before.

    Don't like the cattle fences keeping the crowds back.

    Hope it doesn't become a trend....

    Well spotted. Wow it looks totally horrible. Still.... the players do need to be protected from the crowd in the West. Better than machine gun nests and Sherman tanks i guess...

    Yep WWS:

    AFL is special in the whole crowd thing... like other areas it seems we are losing our innocence.

    Not sure it's necessary but rather it's a reaction to some security anlayst's what ifs.

    Have we ever had a serious crowd invasion incident?

    Off to the World Cup in a couple of weeks .... will be interested to see how the Russians deal with it.

    St Kilda are rubbish. The goal umpire calling a score review on a behind because she felt sorry for them just about sums up their first half. Freo are playing in third gear and still comfortably up.

    Blues hit the front late in the third quarter.

    The Bomber equivalent of the Richmond microwave could be warming up !

    Nah.   They won’t microwave, just go to a drug dealer and go on a bender.

    Can not believe West Coast are 7-1.  Vomit.

    If we keep winning I will always go for the lower team beating the higher one.

    • 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.
