FND and I both think the umpires have been ordinary tonight ......and we are probably right !!!!

They're always ordinary. I've never known an umpire to have a "good" game.

Accept it and move on. Hoping if we just ignore them, they'll disappear.

Harmes, ANB and Tyson are the only players holding our team back.

If we can find a good replacement for them then we are looking very good.

Harmes has been good but all three you mention don't know there limitations and get caught out every game.

Harmes trying to break tackles and getting pinged.

Tyson kicking

Anb goal kicking

    Jeez Petracca needs a rocket. Seriously cruising at the moment and barely worth a place in the team on form.

    if someone tells us we are tired because we have played X games in Y days not sure what I will say.

    We really should be a little further in front to state the obvious.

    Yep, he's on cruise control at the minute. We cannot let him turn into another Sylvia (all the talent in the world, but lazy attitude)

    Class finish from Salem.

    How good is Fritsch? Meanwhile, Watts has four touches midway through the third quarter in the showdown.

    P.S: Go Gus!

    We let the bummers score 3 of the last4 goals and the Aints the last 2. Don't want us to just let it happen again. Play the game right until the final siren.

    We of all teams should know what 0.1%  difference can mean in the end scheme of things.

    • 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.
