Man I dunno. It's a game I guess. We're lucky to be in front but we are working our backsides off and especially our backline.

What will be will be, I'd love to win but it's been a great effort to get here. Give it a red got crack!

    Predicting big second half from Clarrie and Gus - they tend to get better as the game goes on.

    True, and my word we need them! 

     

    Our defence has been fierce, the pressure has been good, not at the level of last week but we can get there. We need mids to go up a gear like a few 3rd quarter responses we’ve had this year.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Definitely a free when 50m off the ball


    Third quarters are our thing. Let's see how we go. If the Hawks get on top again they will be hard to stop.

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    I don't like Tyson being caught in our defensive 50.

     

    They’re worn down... we’ll crack ‘em open this quarter I reckon.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    But no mention of Sicilly a couple of minutes later flying out the front of the pack.

    Technically yes, but if all those are given in finals, it will get farcical.

    Took Spargo 3 attempts before he hit Brayshaw for that last goal. I still wonder if he is up to it.

    He may not be, but right now, he is. His pressure is good.


    Saw Kennett on tv. Am hoping to shove it to him.

    Macca...  we are controlling our movement into the forward 50, good to see.  Better than 1st half.

    Merge that! Dawks

    • 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.
