JKH plays on when he doesn’t need to after getting a free kick.

Why is this still happening?

Kick straight boys and we are away. Bulldogs are my new 4th best team, beating north ! We just need to win !

 

Which way are we kicking in the 2nd Q?

Did we have a wind advantage in the 1st or midfield dominance?

How can you kick the ball to Aliir so often?

my first post in the changes thread was that we needed to man up on Aliir... he is the big interceptor and the main distributor from their backline.. seems like no one listened

    Dominated the quarter but couldn’t finish off our work

    He set up that last goal by completely missing the ball which was nice.

    Midfield came into it in second half of that quarter. Should be a lot further ahead. Don't forget when we played them last year we kicked about the first 5...

    Tracca has butchered it a few times but gee he's in amongst it and affecting contests. Getting plenty of the ball. Watch this space.

    all the air sucked out of the contest with alex johnson going down

    we need to capitalise on our opportunities

    it's an acl on his 'good' knee - that's gutting

    That ball movement out of the backline though… 

    Blistering.

     

    Missed it again Jesse. So frustrating.

    jesse? wtf?

     

    Tyson set all that up with a fantastic long range handball. 


    Jesse playing well but needs to kick straight to get his nerves right.

    Can’t understate how impressed I am by Tyson these last two weeks. Super happy for him and it’s great for us.

    • 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.
