At some point a couple of teams will get their heads straight and rise a whole level above the rest.  Then we'll be watching 10-goal drubbings which are really 100+ point smashings, and just counting down the season to see which one sustains it through the finals.

On the bright side, with so much of the results being even more between the ears than usual, it is possible for just about any team to suddenly start running hot and becoming a late contender.

    Well another night of turning down the sound so as i don't have to listen to Taylor. So bias towards Wobbles.They (umpires) apparently cannot see trips, pushes and throws, just to name a few faults in the second qtr. Never knew there was a new rule of " not high" if Wobbles do that either. GWS stepped up a gear this week and i hope they pummel the mob that could be in a lot of trouble if they aren't careful.

    super congested and contested

    low scoring suits the filth, but it keeps the oppo in the game...see also last year's prelim

    Not a great game...yet again.

    Let's hope they can break the mould in the 2nd half otherwise it looks like a good book and an early night.

    GWS players need to start calling for the ball and not having 2 -3 people go up in a marking contest and spoil each other. 

    DeBoer doing a great job on sidebottom. 

    Come on giants beat the filth.

    Gawn v Grundy?? Grundy loves to tap  it straight to the opposition!! 

    The pies are well coached and have improved their kicking skills out of sight, hoping we can do the same!

    But I think Gawn is better then Grundy and Trac way better the degoye

    Green having an impact.  Gonna be a ripper this bloke once he gets his engine up and running at the level.  Plemty of score involvements.  great link man potential already

    Actually its a good game. Collingwood back in it,

    Davis doing his hammy is a massive loss for the giants. 

    Greene passing off to Cameron was just stupid. I hope Cameron didn't call for the cheap one out the back to get an easy goal. Greeen should have just gone back and put it through.

    Jeremy Howe gone.

    Green has played a huge role in this last quarter to get them over the line with limited TOG as well

    Might be one of those injuries where it looks worse than it actually is.

    Unfortunately I think it looks as bad as it is...his  leg buckled.

    • 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.
