James Harmes had been filming the end of the game; he seemed to get the team pretty excited on the way back in to the rooms.  They appeared to start on the back of his filming to maintain momentum.  Not a great look.  The skipper did not look particulary thrilled with it at first glance

    It looked to just be a mistake. Players all got into the rooms, bit unsure what to do given no one is allowed to put their arms around each other anymore, even though they all tackle each other during the game....

    Storm in a tea cup type stuff.

    It was a strange end as it seemed the players were almost not even going to sing the song given how poor their second half was.

    Where was the team manager.?

    Posters might well be right that it mean nothing but this club has a habit of lot of little issues.

    Organisation...  not players role necessarily,  but surely some staff inside the rooms should be noticing this,  as the players arrive back in.

    Nothing in it. Normally I’d make a big deal about something like this, but honestly, the room situations are all weird, no arms around each other, it was all a bit weird and players didn’t really know what to do. I’ll excuse it this time

    There were no officials in the rooms. Part of the problem

    Relax, they were following Covid guidelines of keeping two arms lengths apart. On that basis Gawn couldn't fit in the room.

    That's very big of you to excuse it, can hear the sigh of relief from the players as I type

    This is just a another Gawn size mountain out of molehill on this forum

    Who gives a flying about what Garr Lyon will say, has to fill air time with some dribble

    No way to really dress this up.

    Its a very poor effort from the players to not wait for their captain.

    Gawn is hard to miss. He’s only 6ft, 9 inches !!!

    Seriously it was poor.  It was a sign of blokes NOT thinking and reflects the onfield decision making.  Gawns first win as captain and he misses the song !! What was vice captain Viney thinking ??? Simply was not thinking. 
     

    Did anyone think ... where’s Langdon and Tomlinson?  It was a shambles 


    Where was Goody ?  Doesn’t he sing the song now with the players.

    Lyon has Almost played as many finals as every player collectively in our team & ex captain.. I think he knows what good culture is ..

    Yep, much as I dislike these petty criticisms, I have to admit that I thought the celebrations were OTT for a performance that was underwhelming. It was all a bit of a rabble, which reflected on the pitch for half the game.

    We won't win another game for the year, so they were getting as much mileage out of that win as possible.

    It isn't the end of the world that some people are making it to be. It is however a perfect reflection of our club as a whole. Just a bit of a hot mess. 

    How you forget to look for the captain during the team song, the captain who is 8 foot tall with a bushy beard, is really very much in the same mysterious vein of how we can give up a 45 point lead.

    • 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.
