OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.

No he has fumbled easy balls causing our attacks to break down and kick has been shocking. A player with better awareness would have touhced the ball on the line.

    West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

    They look really good don’t they.

    How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

    Because it didn't bounce to Gawn

    Alex Neal Bullen 1 disposal that quarter.

    Someone again tell me what he brings to this side??

    Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

    Losing only one game for the season (given this will probably be the last game) is pretty good isn't it!

    • Haha 1

    what a p*** poor effort, eagles chip the ball around with ease as our players playing meters away from or behind their opponents. another 6 or 7 weeks off may help our players to hand pass and kick the ball to their team mates. To think i have been waiting months for this game to come along.

    depressing first quarter

     

    I remembered watching the Adelaide game and thinking what have they changed in terms of forward set up and tactics, the answer watching that quarter is absolutely nothing. 

    Still long bombing it to outnumbered contests instead of lowering the eyes. Are the forwards leading to space, demanding the ball? (Question not criticism)

    Seriously we are playing against one of the best defences, don’t drop it on their heads!!!

    He's fumbled it twice and still takes 5 years to get foot to ball. But yes, positive!

    We've still got no system delivering into and performing in the forward line. 
    Seems like poor coaching

    If we’d kicked straight, and they kicked crookedly, we’d be well in front, despite Gawn losing hit outs to Nicnat.

    Nullify Gawn, nullify MFC. It's too easy for the opposition to figure out.

    He runs all day? ?‍♂️

    And then he does that ?‍♂️

    Only saw the least 5-10 minutes.  
    Looked so like 2020 .... randoM inside 50s .... no goals.

    Opposution easy systematic inside 50s .... easy goals. 
     

    What have we learned?


    Forward entry looks like we are still playing 2019 season. Not the start anyone wanted.

     

    Pretty pizz poor so far.

    Would it be wrong and insensitive to want the player's to start needlessly coughing and sneezing?

    Would give us some more time and space ?

    Horrendous. We have learned nothing and improved nowhere.

    • 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.
