Jonesey has his own ad!!

 

Watching in Phuket. Getting some funny looks from the locals with my constant shouting at the tv. Need more composure inside 50. Should be winning easily.

regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

 

Why do you think we have so many inside 50s?

 

Maybe forward pressure?

Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

Move him up the ground ?

His only mark was on the wing.   Certainly out of touch.

C’mon Jesse ..... a bag in the third and another bag, shared with Tom, in the fourth.

Pleeeease 

Big half for Goodwin imo. He has a team cracking in, and if he can figure out a way to goal, we win.

Was poor last week and poor again this week. If he lifts and gets on his bike this second half we’ll win.

There's a wild Riccuito on my screen. Someone get the tranquilizer gun.

Have you seen the delivery to him?

Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

Bloody Hell, Dermott making sense.....What sort of parallel universe is this?

Good footage of Hogan on Fox Footy not flying for his marks. It was his main skill in his debut year.


Dont understand why we always go wide when going inside 50.

Very scrappy game thus far, need to execute much better to win this. Freezing at the ground, stewy dewy on the ground.

If the game continues on like it has we just need to lower our eyes and we win this game. 

Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok. Port flooding our 50. We have dominated most of that half for not a lot of return. Get off Brayshaws back, he's been good. best game from trac for a half a doz games. Keep this intensity up and we will win. Just need to keep doing the team thing, it will click. Much better effort than QB

 

Port's forward 50 open, open, open. Ours is congested and full of long bombs. 

If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 


Cannot see us winning like this. Desperation will increase along with a commensurate increase in turnovers and port goald

once they get a turnover and clearance they ran deep into fwd line in that q.

 

No surprise the parochial crowd absolutely influences umpiring decisions. 

The Power fans are totally one eyed, and that eye suffers myopia. 

We have controlled the ball but been very poor with decision making and creating space. 

Every port inside 50 threatens to be a goal as their forward line is so open. Ours is the opposite. 

Spite at end of quarter was more our frustration. 

This game should be ours but could go either way. Many players down but T Mac keeping us ahead with scoreboard pressure. 

Conditions are absolutely perfect for footy. Chilly but no wind and really no dew or moisture. 

8 points on the line here. 

Delivery inside 50 is reminiscent of games 1-5 this season. Bombing to packs blindly. 

Lower the eyes. Melksham does this so well. Everyone else does not.

  • 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.

    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.
