Hibberd can't hold a mark. Butter fingers tonight. 

I reckon the ground and ball are slippery  

Hibbo is still finished.

    Lockhart has been our best player.

    Uses the ball extremely well.

    We’ve lost the plot the last few minutes 

    Rather lose it now than in two weeks time.

    Hibberd looks a shadow of his 2017/18 self.

    Nice goal from Jack!

    Other than being a former All Australian.. what exactly does Hibberd contribute to the team?

    If the round one choice is between him and Lockhart, the choice is pretty clear.

    Tomlinson kick was a shocker, but it wouldn't have had to happen had ANB not fluffed a simple kick in the first place.

    I’d say Salem in Hibbo out. 
    We miss Salem’s kicking.

    Neal-Bullen continues to be a chain killer.  Every period of good clean possession ends when he gets it.

    It's either a fumble or a ridiculous attempt at a handball.

    arguably best on ground

    I honestly don't know what to make of that first half.

    We've done some good stuff... but have been terrible frustrating at the same time.  

    Our usage forward of centre continues to be a problem, as do our skills (although the dew doesn't help), but then I feel as though we look terrific defensively and when it all 'clicks'  I can see us putting multiple goals together in quick succession.

    I feel more positive than negative but we'll need to improve to have a shot at the Eagles in Round 1 at this stage. 


     Neither team could hit the water if they fell out of a boat tonight 

     

    Hibberd another shocker he's close to being out of my side. Tomlinson, Langdon and Petracca playing well.

    • 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.
