Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

The opposite of give a guy a rap.

First half pros & cons

Pros: Viney, Viney, Viney

Cons: how long you got?

 

Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


Better but still wasteful. 

Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

 

Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever


So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
 

I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

Oscar has kept Darling to 2 possessions 

Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

The symptoms are all there:

- Fatigue (walking around)

- Coughing (up the ball)

- Fever (explains the poor decision making)

Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
