Well that was a gift. That protected space rule is ridiculous. I’ll take it though. 

 

This was a pleasant dream, now its a [censored] nightmare.

Good to see we haven’t given up. As demoralising as it would be knowing for the best part of 3 quarters we aren’t GF bound, we need to keep playing until the final siren.

The ONLY positive I can take from this is I'm glad this has happened this week rather than next. That would be scarring beyond belief.

    Is Lewis worst on ground?

    I'm still scarred from '88.

    We were too concerned about West Coast to begin with instead of continuing to do our thing and play as we have. Was evident when we switched our Fritta for Smith.

    Sounds like an excuse and it obviously didn't help the Tigs last night, but a week off is a huge advantage this time of year.

    West Coast have shown what this MFC team needs to do next year, what no other MFC team have done in my lifetime.  Dominate all year, finish top 4, home final, week off => WIN PREMIERSHIP.

    The afl change the rules all of the time....is this a 6 quarter game???


    You have to give credit to WC.  Started by smashing us in contested ball and we lacked composure, lost structure, panicked etc.  winning contested ball this qtr at least.

    Turned it off before half time for my sanity.
    Please tell me we've kicked a goal.

    Comeback of the century required.

    • 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.
