Front on contact. The rules are as clear as day. 

 

Melksham v Hurley summary: High, high, high, holding, push in the back.

No free play on.

 

But yes our problems are still there. Such an easy goal to McD-T Goody's contention is probably that it doesn't matter when all our stars are dominating. But when do ALL a team's stars dominate for an entire season?

    4 unpaid free kicks in a row to Melksham.........unpaid....Disgraceful   .

    That's about 4 throws out of congestion from the Bongers so far...NONE spotted!  

    Mustn't have gone to Specsavers!

    Make that 5!

    Turn around due to spark from C Wagner and Lockhart

    Be careful they’re going to come at us with everything in the 3rd

     

    We are getting hung on to, smacked, pushed, and are getting nothing from the umps.

    In the meantime, if we even breathe heavily near and Druggie player they get the whistle out.

    Disgraceful

    The lift came suddenly! All started with that bit of confidence from Clarry to Melky. Keep it up!

    It feels a little similar to the same game last year.  We struggled early, then everything clicked and we ran over the top of them.  Let's hope the second half is similar to that one tonight.

    Stringer is the biggest piece of scum on this earth. I hope his foot blows up. Piece of [censored].

    What a great quarter. Defensively looked 10000 times better, seems our mids got back and supported a bit more. Its funny what happens when you run and make space for your team mates. 

    Umpires missed a few frees close to goal for us there. Need to keep the peptides in it somehow 

    Wagner and Frost have been our 2 best defenders.

    It’s nowhere near as congested as I was expecting it to be

    T Mac being forced off actually created space i50 - putting him on the wing upon return kept that forward line open

    Now keep going Dees

    you are kidding this phthetic

    Theres a heatbeat...


    Shiel is destroying us. Curtail him and I reckon we can win this. 

    We still look miles off, but they worked hard this quarter and finally got some decent ball movement happening. 

    Salem and Oliver are class.

    Wow, what is happening?! I did not see this coming the way we were playing 

    we weren't playing that was the trouble.

    Now they decided to have a dip, and maybe the bummers thought they have us.  easing the pressure off

    We are away now, and should be able to find some faith again.  Our season is just starting now, still rusty, and tactics need a tweak.

    With KK, Lockhart, Wagner x2, all relatively new to team, it took the first to gel. Was much better in second. Pieces starting to click, end to end.

    • 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.
