Don’t worry Goodwin has 4 more years to not fix anything. 

Seems like we get beaten exactly the same way every time by Collingwood.

Wonder what our theory is with allowing to happen every time? Perhaps we are trying to bore them to death the pounce while they are not paying attention.

    Viney being held long before he takes possession, he needs to learn to tap it on rather than take the ball sometimes. He'd have 3 or 4 free kicks already.

    we can still win this. too many poor handballs and missed marks. Hopefully our backline can settle down. some of these have not played together for a while so may take some time to sort themselves out. go dees

    The people critical of vineys leadership and bad disposal the same calling for Gawn to be captain he started  the chain of handball clangers with a 1 metre handball miss at the first clearance 

    Not a reasonable argument based on one piece of play. Viney is a 1960s sort of Captain, head down barrel in push forward at all costs. No head for the game. A bad influence on our style of play.

    You did see the Neeld period right?

    Yes I did, back then we never had possession to display a skill error?

    [censored] Spargo

    Good vision Petracca. Keep it up.


    Yep, lost patience with Spargo, at this moment at least.

    Back to Casey, you'll get there mate, just keep at it

    A 2nd year 19 year old is currently tearing our defence to shreds

    there... Tracca is a midfielder.!

    He leans forward to kick, when on the run to kick long.

    • 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.
