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.

 

He’s doing ok. Hibberd and Vanders look to be battling. I hope they play Hore in the second half. Spargo also AWOL.

 

However, one big positive have been Langdon and Tomlinson, especially in their roles:

30 disposals and 11 marks between them roaming up the wings.  Absolutely what we've been crying out for.

Disposal is a little shaky at times but, again, that can be forgiven a little due to the time of the year and conditions. Great pick ups for the club.

    Yes some familiar Weid and Anb footy. 
     

    Langdon is the real deal.  Fritsch is ready to kick 4-5!
     

    Lockhart is a lock for round 1 imo.

    What happened to vanders says he was subbed off with injury on AFL Site

    The AFL website does that all the time.  Says they're injured, then two minutes later they're back on the field.  It's annoying.

    ANB's tank still strong, getting to a lot of contests

    more than ever, but he still has no polish and that hurts us as a team.  We are so light on for skilled players.

    If we're going to improve we can carry players with sub-par skills.

    What in gods name is that free for???

    That umpire was stolen by gypsies as a child. The gypsies realised he was no good and left him in the forest for the bears to raise.

    The bears rejected him and wouldn't even eat him. He had no proper upbringing and developed neither acceptable social skills nor the ability to interact with decent folk. The AFL saw his potential to be a field umpire where his background and skill set wouldn't be any sort of hindrance. 

    Here he is tonight making soft decisions leading to a Hawthorn goal. Should we expect anything different ??? Hell no.

    He’s off getting some WD 40 for rust.

     

    Langdon while good, his disposal by foot has been poor. Tomlinson has been good.

    Lockhart BOG for me. Has been stiff by these maggots.

    The game has been very sloppy though. Play like this against WC and we'll get slaughtered.

    Yea I’m not watching the game just reading updates on here and checking AFL Site, so there is nothing wrong with him

    AFL site saying Vanders injured. Update?

    Anyone think we rest Gawn and May for the second half?  Or do we give them another quarter?

    Maxy running laps must be done for the match

    Edited by sisso

    Maxxy was doing laps at ht , being rested for Jackson

    Disposal has been worse than Langdon, both getting to good positions and providing an outlet.

    Vanders hurt his foot. Kicked it into someone and saw him grab it straight away.

    It’s a pretty ordinary looking game. It’s a good physical hit out but I’m not seeing too much to get excited about in our style yet bar real endeavour.

    FFS!


    Tomlinson missing targets but Langdon kicking over his shoulder. Thats [censored]. May trying to drill passes too low and intercepted.

    • 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.
