Lol, best part of the game was the camera work on Townsend’s shot. Just showing the ball in flight and teasing Ess fans with the accurate kick thinking it was through. Touched an inch out, great theatre.

    I checked the scores and found the Blues hanging iron with moments to go, so I turned it on. Watch very little footy this season, but seeing the Bummers stuff up on the death knell despite a pretty strange 50 gave me a rare moment of footy joy.

    Blues have I believed had a 1 point loss and two 1 point wins in three rounds .  Heart stopping for their fans.

    Essendon's two wins have been by less than a goal

    Hope carlton can hang on.       Sick of hearing essendon supporters saying we are undefeated. Just lose. 

    Im watching GC V freo. Good game but fyfe off with t hammy is a massive loss. 

    I turned it on,  to see the ending of the game,  and then quickly changed channel so I didn't have to hear the song.

     

    GC... how are the young ones going,   'd189227' .?

    That Eddie Betts 50 metre was a joke

    Umpire said it was a “new rule”!!!

    That was nuts. 50m from the goal square and they put the man on the mark in the centre circle.

    Talk about trying to gift them the game.

    That wasn't even 50m. Went for like 80m! Umpires doing everything in their power to wanting Essendon to win.

    Again, suck it bombers!

    I'm watching with the sound off. I know it's been said to death but Brayshaw, BT and McAveney are all awful in their own unbearable way. 

    I watched NRL on friday night just to ear te commentary because its not overstated, smug, nor too smart for itself.  They just enjoy the game and one another;  like we Used to,  be back in the 70's/80's.

    How did our commentary get so high brow,  and  "look at me,  look at me"

     

    Come on C-7,  ditch these smart Al ex footballers,  and bring in  "Con the Fruiterer".   So we can enjoy the footy once again.   The commentators have never been good,  ever since we have so many Ex Pro players.  and the non ex footy players try hard to be clever to match them.

     

    They are all spoiling the game for us as a spectacle.  When the commentators are the spectacle the game is saying, "I can't breath".

     

    ...  this is another thing in our lives that needs rescuing from big brother,  and big business..

    I see some vitamin ad with Dennis Cometti on it every now and then and it makes me yearn for better times when commentators weren't ssuch twats

    Ha it was sweet to see them lose by a point.

    Gee it's so frustrating when you watch melbourne gets all these high draft picks who don't really come along as they should and gc get rowell and watching him tonight he is just awesome and got the game. He kicks goals, is courageous goes in hard and has great disposal. Just give him the rising star now.

    If Gold Coast had never existed, Rowell would be in Red and Blue right about now.....

    was that one very long 50m penalty or a very short 2x 50m penalties?

    i thought maybe betts gave another away for chatting back to the maggot

    Fyfe did his hammy, and we play Freo in 14 days.

    They’re saying low grade at this stage so he’ll be borderline to play us in 2 weeks.

    • 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.
