Wagner ball watching, caught in no man's land. Our defence is still a rabble

 

Out the back. AGAIN.

    Terrible terrible. Just gave that goal away. Leaving players unmarked

     

    We can’t play two way footy. 

    If we lose possession of the ball in our forward half, you can pretty much bank an opposition goal at this stage. It's actually ridiculous.

    Three inside 50s. 2.1 for Essendon.

    We are 1 shot from 8 entries.

    Pathetic.

    God we need Lewis back down there, even just to organize it all...

    Aaaaand there's his brother... 

    I think I'm sensing a pattern. I don't think it's pace. It's game plan and structure surely. All that open space in their forward line... Ours totally congested

    Wow, the rebound was pressured and this is heart breaking, wE need someone to take charge aznd keep possession while they're scoring so easy so we can sort our defense out

    We need marking

    Viney and Jones are trying very hard, which is positive. I firmly believe our only problem is structure. Goodwin has 3 years to sort that out. He better do it a lot quicker than that.

    Also, we need May, Lever, Lewis back like no man's business.

    • 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.
