Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

    Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

    Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

    It happens when you are a one team town. Go to a soccer international and you'll see far worse

    As much as I hate the filth if they can get over wet coke then good luck to them. It shows you that the eagles don't have a very good midfield. It's actually not a bad game.

    Looking for a pie win, I think its better that we don't need to travel and we seem to the players to again win at the G with our pressure.

    Its not that wet in Perth, so those slips are obviously from the new grass, maybe not enough depth in the roots yet?

    Also torn. West Coast look more beatable.

    But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth

    Kennedy is horrifically underdone, looks shocking tonight.

    Just a comedy of fumbles and errors from West Coast.

    But Kennedy/darling get a game under their belt plus another weeks rest would see them play much better.  

    At this point neither side would not stand up to our pressure (based on last night).  This game is not a intense as ours and tigers game.

    I live in Adelaide I know, don’t see Adelaide teams in the same light.

    Very torn in this game. Just don’t want to hear Collingwood fans up and about.

    Unless you live in Western Australia or you don't go to the footy, why would you want Collingwood to lose? Don't you want to see your team live in a Prelim?

    Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

    Mmmm.   A very familiar pattern that we saw far too often especially up until about 4 weeks ago.

    But wouldn't be far sweeter for us to beat them than just beating the Eagles .... not many over here to gloat over.

    How was that not a reversal after the late retaliation?

    Collingwood can thank Eddie Betts for that behind.

    • 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.
