Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

    Supporting this club is pure torture.

    It’s almost as bad as being a supporter of Rugby in Australia (a Rebels fan, Wallabies) or a Liverpool fan.... or all of the above. 

    AND worse the guys look absolutely buggered.   So much for the next few weeks.

    I can't believe he kicked that.

    I can, he ran straight at the goal, dropped the ball beutifully and kicked through it.

     

    Big 2nd half coming up.  We need tomake some more space in our forward line for our forwards to lead into. 

    Seriously max needs to work with our forward line coach on goal kicking.

    Try following Crystal Palace!

    Have to admit to only watching about 10 minutes of this junk, but my two observations are:

    1. 5.15 always, always comes back to bite you in the bum. 44-13 inside 50s - not like they are going to have 26 for the gam. They will have 45-50 and kill us.

    2. We desperately needed the score board to reflect our dominance and be far enough ahead that we could run around like millionaires in the second half. We didn't need a fight to the death battle in 71% humidity.

    So I’d take the “Black Knight” from Monty Python above those 2.

    Once again the long bombs inside 50 are killing us. Clear out the forward 50 and create space for lowering of eyes. Too many go up and too much congestion inside 50

    They keeping asking about the humidity on the telecast BBO, how sweaty is it?

    I just felt the grass outside the boundary and it’s dry

    Go figure

    First thing Pert must do is get us out of this horrible game. If you have any chance of having a good year this game destroys it .

    Agreed. Shocking decision to play up here. 

    Everytime Gawn kicks for goal, 10 puppies die

    No offence at all here, but at least they don’t really give you much to hope for. 

    The Dees, Reds and Aust Rugby Gove you hope every now and again.

    I have to admit, that's a long way from the moisture report I was expecting.

    No offence taken, but no offence, Liverpool give as much hope as Palace ?

    Made the trip again. No Jayden torp heroics yet - thought Clarry might try one before. Getting very dewy. Can we please kick straight?!!

    Can you go find out why it’s so moist in the oval?

    It is 70% humidity, much less than most of our games in DARWIN, it is just a case of the commentators trying to cover for atrocious skill errors (and at 25 degrees it is not hot)

    Everything about them is annoying me so here's just two of my concerns

     

    Gawn's goalkicking. Yes Max, you're a laidback champion and all round funny guy but the casual attitude in front of goal has cost us one game and will continue to cost us. How about some "hey google, find me a goal kicking coach".

     

    Frost playing his part in defence. A week on and I remain furious by the arrogance displayed by the selection committee by selecting Petty ahead of Frost against St Kilda. They thought they could get away with playing a kid and it cost us. It also shows it's not just the players who mark down games as easy wins.

    • 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.
