Starting to take more risks with dispoal and trust a little more...numbers at the ball

 

Oh my god we actually have players at the back of the pack. It’s a miracle!

    Amazing what a bit of scoreboard pressure can do.

    Suddenly the Hawks are not so composed and our frantic game style is working in our favour

    Helps when we hit a few targets

    For sure....Harmes movement from the 2nd quarter also got us going

    Our best quarter of the year will mean [censored] all if we don't bring it again in the last. Can we just bury Hawthorn for once?

    Why you play Salem off a wing!!!

    connection... this is why I wanted Salem on the wing... since earlier in season.

    Start him from the wing...  so he is free from minding a half forward...  but he pushes back to the back-half to assist... and to run and carry forward,  and connect with Forwards. 

    As a good winger should be doing,  anyway.

    Tracc into the middle brings a bit of  space to move in for Hunt and TmAc

    exactly !!!       Tracca is too slow and cumbersome,  on a f/flank.

    He kills our F50 with his lack of.

    Harmed has been outstanding. Back to second half of last year form today

    What the complete F is happening??

    team balance is happening.

    Wow hopefully we can hold off the 21 hawk players on the ground in the 4th this umpiring is beyond diabolical

    Just heard the best description of a blatant free kick which was not given against Roughead. A commentator called it "the good bloke rule." Enough said.

    School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

    We actually disposed of the ball better that quarter and looked for players in the red and the blue. Amazing stuff. Also spreading. Come on boys. 30 more minutes. Hawks off 6 days. They must be tired after chasing us that qtr.

    Harmes has been fantastic. I love Salem on the wing, it's great to have brains out there!

    Much better from Hibbo, too.

    It hasn't been pretty, and we're so low on confidence that you can see the jitters every time we get the ball, but geez if we can bring this home, it might give the boys something to think about.

    Loved seeing a smile on TMacs face, too!

    Let's go Dees! I'm here but have a special guest so only 97% focused instead of the usual 100.

    As good a tunnel ball throw after being done for holding the ball

    • 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.
