Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.

    Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

    ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

    Panic merchant.

    Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

    Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

    2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

    Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

    Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

    We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


    All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

    Exactly

    The Swannettes will be sore this week

    I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

    Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

    They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

    Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

    I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

    Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

    Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

    normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

    It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

    Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

    Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

    You've summed it up Jaded.

    One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

    Yes we win. But how well have we played?

    2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

    • 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.
