    Take responsible and kick the [censored] goal weideman!

    Turnover ... goal to the filth !

    The skill level is embarrassing, give the MMD game to a decent team, we don’t deserve it

     

    We were one game away from a Grand Final last year.

    From that to this in less than a year.

     


    McDonald can [censored] off with hos brother too. I am done with him too

    Watson just referred to the skills (or absence thereof) of Melbourne to be the worst he's seen this season.

    He said that after Hannan just dropped a chest mark.

    It's pitiful.

     

    I hate handballs to nowhere.


    I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

    Hannan still rusty. 

    Hannan and Lever both got into the team,  without any displayed form,  or condition.   Both not ready for AFL.

    224 DISPOSALS FOR  3 GOALS

    Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

    Can we please draft someone who can snap more than 20 metres. 

    How dare you criticise Lord spargo ! 

    This list is ok. I worry about the coaching. I know that's an ongoing theme, and the coaches don't tell Garlett to pass it off from 30m out (etc etc) we just have NO SYSTEM going forward. Don't talk to me about connection. This is about structures and habits.

    Skills are absolutely killing us. Intent is good - we wrestled control of the ball in that quarter but gee wizz. Hannan dropping it was just one example but was pretty typical of how we’re going.

    Both Lever and May are only 1% off and looking better than I was expecting. Our defence as a whole looks reasonably well coordinated, they were just hammered. Reckon they’re why we’re closer than we might be.

    I haven’t given up yet. I think we could steady and claw the lead back. Fingers crossed.

    Totally devoid of skill. 

    Cant kick or handball. 

    Otherwise ok.

     

    Melbourne needlessly rushing, loopy handballs over the top rather than kicks down the line to leading players.  Selling teammates into trouble, handballs to stationary players.

    F50 entries have been woeful once again, but I haven’t seen anything resembling forward structure and leading patterns.  

    Harmes from the boundary seems to be the only player with any kind of composure in traffic.  Thank god for Marty Hore.

    McDonald looks completely out of sorts, and has benefitted Pies more than his own team so far.

    • 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.
