    41 inside 50s by half time. What’s the record again?

    Harmes on Fyffe now. Thank god!

    This was THE much needed move.  Thank Lucifer!

    Nowhere near it.

    It's the bottom 6/fringe players who are our undoing, especially when it comes to keeping possession (disposal). Wagner, Petty up one end, Hunt, Hannan the other. Throw in ANB, Baker, Frost ... just too many players who can't reliably hit another player by hand or foot.

    Plus Jetta/Lever/Hibberd/Melksham out really hurting us.

    A Preuss who can run out 2 and a bit quarters would be more valuable than T Mac who stops running midway thru 1st quarter

    Has dropped his head too, sad to watch

    He's been great, his evasive skills in traffic is top notch today.

    I know Tommy isn’t this kind of player but I’d love see him just smash a few packs if he’s struggling one on one, or on the lead

    I get that Goodwin  is probably just trying to help him regain confidence by publicly backing him, but this just cant continue if we want to win more games. Nobody should be untouchable when poor form is concerned, and Tommy has been rank all bloody year.

    Its a coaching/selection failure imo.

    Also perhaps one of those players who looks better at AFL level, rather than hurly burly of the lower leagues.

    Can we play that badly in the second half. 

    Hard to imagine a less functional forward line. Have only seen Hunt leading and he has not been able to hold his marks.

    Not sure if we have had a clean center clearance

     

    Stevie May’s contest stuff and short passing is top notch today. 

    Very clean user.

    • 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.
