Are the Dogs permitted 15 players on the mark? If not, could the ump give another kick with a 50m penalty?

    Starting this thread early as it's shaping for a big weekend ladder wise and for the Dees. Who do we want to win these crunch games

    Rich v Syd (THURS)

    - I hope Tigers win, we don't want any interstate teams in the top 4.✔️✔️

    WB v Cats

    - Cats are definitely not playing their best this year and Dogs played OK v North and you don't know what they'll bring. A Dogs win hopefully✔️✔️

    Carl v Port

    - Carlton played well yesterday and Port aren't as good as people reckon, they actually played awful v Dees and we still found a way to lose. Upset highly unlikely but game is at the MCG.

    Adel v WCE

    - Can the Crows at home upset a vulnerable WCE?

    GC v Coll

    - Collingwood win easily

    GWS v Haw

    - Hoping GWS win, Hawks are zoning in on a top 8 finish

    Melb v STK

    - We need to win and win big, keep that percentage up, 50+ win would be nice

    Ess v North

    - I think Bombers will win this, North doing their usual start the season well and folding this year I'd say, Ess win helps us.

    I wondered that too.  Just assumed that it's fine so long as none of them encroached on the mark.  Can't see why it would be disallowed - in normal play you'd only be disadvantaging yourself by having your whole team on the mark.

    Huge win by the Dogs and great for us! 

    I've talked him up on here earlier in the year, but Ed Richards looks like a star in the making. He's just got footy smarts, pace, skill, intensity and is a joy to watch play. Great get by the Dogs pulling the trigger on him slightly earlier than expected last draft.

    As long as none of them encroach over the mark it's surely ok. But the umpires are inclined to make it up on the run and just pay some nonsensical penalty. Luckily they didn't.

    How was Chris Scott's celebration when Harry Taylor marked it? Bahaha. You absolute gronker. I wish there was a reaction shot.

    Classless celebration by the dogs, but not surprising 

    Almost 10 years since they’ve beaten them - unless I’m missing something?

    Why were we denied vision of Chris Scott on the final siren ??? That would have been almost as entertaining as seeing Taylor stuff up the attempt on goal.

    As I said it is public, seems a little precious to not allow it in here. 

    I'm just wondering why anyone would want to read that kind of vulgarity.  It's just gross and clearly not appropriate, for this forum, or any forum.  It's the first time I've ever heard of any dope football commentator being sacked on the spot, and we all know how low the bar is for commentary quality in our sport, so I'm a bit surprised you're surprised I don't want the comments on here.

    Seriously.  It will take anyone two seconds for anyone to Google it if they desperately need to know what was said. I even told you exactly where to look.  There is absolutely zero need for someone who comes in here to chat about the awesome game that just happens to unwittingly stumble upon Hall's revolting comment.

    Only one on the mark 'Moon', the other 14 were behind it otherwise it would have been a 50m penalty.

    He left the box when Taylor took the mark- punching the air in celebration.

    Loving watching this press conference. He's actually relatively well behaved in this.

    On the replay, it looked like Bontempelli was marginally in front of Rourke to me.

    Channel 7 just refused to show it, despite showing every other angle (including Beveridge's reaction for the last 45 seconds of the match). [censored] hopeless broadcaster. Everyone wants to see that [censored] Scott go from elation to misery!

    I've got to confess, I don't hate hearing him talk; he's always pretty rational, balanced and considered.  It's just the way he carries on like a toss in the box that irks me.

    His arrogance and ego does split through sometimes, but he reminds me of me haha. Absolute white line fever and then can have a very rational discussion in the aftermath.

    You are.

    To celebrate like that after a missed shot in a HOME AND AWAY GAME is just childish and pathetic

    They thought they'd lost mate.  Come on, of course they were going to carry on like pork chops in that kind of win.  Their reaction reflected how I felt for them about it.

    That's because he didn't watch it. Just said so in the presser, so he moved out of sight of the cameras.

    Have you considered the fact they lost the game last week by a small margin after being in front as well and have had a horrible year, plus all the pressure of the much talked about post premiership drop off?

    I’m not calling these excuses but they all add up. You want footy players to be Robots?

    Totally understand we want players to be professionals - but these kids live it Day in and out. Good time to let it all out after a game.

    • 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.
