Rubbish game. Scoreboard flattered us as we kicked some junktime goals after not giving a yelp for 2.5 quarters. May injured again. Lever destroyed by Mihochek, he’s no good one on one unfortunately. Those two big trades have set us back big time. 

Looks like another rebuild looms. We need to hit the top end of the draft hard again to get more young talent in.

    On the bright side, congratulations on OMac for joining the exclusive 589th kick, first goal club.

    One would have thought that the guy would have done more up fwd given his season.

    Not a defender and not a forward.

    Perhaps hes holding out for some time on the ball.

    Hunt, Viney Jones OMac JKH are done.

    Dunkleys decision making is looking a bust to.

    Bit harsh on Dunkley only came to the club half way through the season, agree Jones, JHK and Salem who are a bit soft under pressure the other one is an anchor is Viney.

    May was great until injured and that’s prob the only good player we had. Maybe throw Frost and Fritta in the good players too. 

    Frost was seriously horrible, couldn't get within 5 metres of his opponent today, he got lucky Elliott couldn't kick straight. Fritra, may and tracc our best by a long way

    Fritter BOG for us.

    Trac went missing a little, but did some nice things.

    Maxxy looked flat (I don't blame him)

    Pies are depleted, but they're not much chop. If you only beat us by 17 points, are you even trying?

    God this season has felt long. Two more games to go...

    I like him and he at least gives us something to look forward to in 2020. ....but when you kick 1.4 it’s a frikn disgrace. No way bog

    OMac's goal reminded me of the Under 10s when the coach makes sure everyone gets a turn.

    Participation ribbons for everyone.

    That’s really harsh. I know hating on Omac is flavour of the month but he honestly played well today. Was aggressive at the ball, and hit targets. Considering he’s never played forward or ruck, he did well. Needs a break. He’s hardly the core of our issues.

    Watch Goodwin talk about how good it was us responding in the 4th and how it’s a step in the right direction

    We are hopeless how we only lost by 3 goals is an indictment on the Pies. Petracca and Fritsch the only good players the rest are spuds. A long 2 weeks coming up.

    Last of my optimism has dissipated. No matter what happens over the off season it feels like a long way from here for Melbourne to become a winning team.

    My thoughts

    we played terrible, passing  forward lousy,

    pies are not much chop  even early they played poorly.  But we were worse !

    umpiring was deplorable think both sides would have thought that   OMac played better up forward and even in the ruck better than he had down back.  He does like to crunch his opponents. 

    Very glad there are only two weeks left. 

     

    But it I do not think we gave up at any time much better than last week !

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but he also delivered well and contributed to a couple of other goals. If there was someone else who kicked straight, I'd have said they were BOG, but there wasn't. He's generally a decent kick for goal, off day. If May played the game out, he would likely have received the 'honour'.

    Can anyone explain how Goodwin has the time (or desire) to sit there and eat - instead of actively coaching - with less than 5 minutes to go in a game that we were still a chance (albeit very slim) to win?

    I agree. I'm no OMac fan (I'm usually in favour of him playing for the 2s), but I thought he was ok at times. At least looked like he wanted to be out there, and played with intent.

    If someone could invent a brain implant which makes you oblivious to footy until your team starts playing finals footy, I’d be the first to buy.

    Start the campaign for a priority pick. One finals series in 13 years and we look a long way off

    Jones needs to retire and have a farewell game in the last round. 

    He has given his all but his time is up imo. 

    He should've signed the offer that was put in front of him.

    A new offer needs to be drawn up, and it's a lot lower.

    At seasons end, I hope the players with few exceptions get a swift kick in the Annus horribillis.

    In all areas of the ground. 

    It's truly woeful. 

    I agree. But yet, it does surprise me that we haven’t been seriously thrashed on the scoreboard. Something is still there. Some heart beat.... but it’s v faint.

    Plays unaccountable footy, 1 tackle in 2 matches is unacceptable.

    I have watched him at a few matches and all he does is peel off his wingman (ie Sidebottom) to hang off the back of packs trying to get cheap kicks.

    • 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.
