T MAC is a shadow of himself. Move May into forward like 

 

I don’t think we are out of this, we’ve improved this quarter around the ball, just need to get smarter with disposal in our forward half

    Weideman not a natural footballer 

    needs to spend the start of each season at Casey and continue to learn there’s more to it than mark and kick

    Key forwards aren’t in the team to tackle but his pressure is woeful.

    Petracca. The momentum killer.

    Season over

    Serious finals aspirations are... I'd say

    Petracca stuffed it again. How can anyone be satisfied with what he’s producing? 


    We just do not play good in the heat or the wet.

    Just wait till the conditions are perfect, we will blitz.

    Petracca is horrible. Needs to go to the VFL and learn to take a mark. 

    Oliver is the only player I want near the ball. The rest are VFL standard. 

    Amazingly we are not out of this.

    Need to outscore them by 2 goals in the third and see what we can do in Q4.

    Our lack of scoring power is seriously worrying

    oliver is a freak

    brayshaw, viney and harmes are honest battlers

    we have no forward structure and no way of moving the ball forward other than bombing it long

    petracca, anb and hunt worst on

    Tell you what, if this is the only margin at the end, I’ll take it as moral victory

    Fritsch has been disappointing so far this season too. I was expecting him to take another step forward this year and become a quality player, but he’s struggling.

    Oliver really digging in and trying to carry the team. He’s a star.

    Good end to the half. Got on top. 

    Oliver amazing. KK, Frost, May, Brayshaw all solid. Viney in and out. Petracca just terrible. Gawn uninspiring and seemingly not 100%. Zero forward coherency. ANB useless. Weeds not ideal for the weather. Jones is absolutely cooked.

    • 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.
