    That’s all nice, but how about tinkering with the way we deliver the ball inside 50. We don’t have any injuries there so you would think we would have that sorted by now.

    Simple fact is that we lost the game in the forward half last week not the back half

    If we friggen could hit some one on the chest inside 50 that would be great. How bout an articles on inside 50 delivery and the art of run, carry and draw in a player instead of bombing in to a crowded fwd line.

    Let’s tinker with the high press as well as we keep leaking goals over the back against the better sides

    As others say, there was no need to read it

    Just total garbage, but I'm not surprised i'm on demonland.

    Not surprised you took that even remotely seriously and got all huffy about it.

    I really like the bit of 'tinkering' that sees Harry Petty making his debut.  My gut tells me that he will be a very able replacement for Jake, and a long term mainstay of our backline.

    How his stocks have fallen in 3 weeks. 

    Nah. Our defensive woes have more to do with opposition transition out of our forward line. The problem is two-way running and delivery going forward.

    Sorry we need a “not serious post” emoji.

    • 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.
