NO FORWARDLINE 

no backline lever is the biggest spud ever would have alister nichalson rather than him

 

Time for a green tin.

I count ONE contested mark inside out forward 50 so far today. 

It's time to play a big body ( May?) at CHF and try and clunk some marks to at least keep the ball in there for more than 20 seconds or so.  Tommo to Lynch pls.

Oliver’s disposal today has been abysmal.

It has been for 2 years, most people just turn a blind eye to him here.

    Levers running is so lazy. Got himself caught in no mans land then and allowed dusty to kick under no pressure 

    Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

    We're unwatchable. I'd say call the season off but we'd be the same in 9 months time anyway.

     

    Can someone remind me the reasoning behind our forward line.  It isn't forward pressure  ball goes in straight out score

    He is by far and wide the worst recruit we've had

    5 free to 4 in our favour. Although sometimes it’s the frees not paid. 

    The Petracca one that handed them a goal was a shocker. The umpire even admitted no prior opportunity! Pathetic!

    I’ll say what I said earlier this week, Pickett isn’t ready

    You say this straight after his amazing 3 defensive efforts at half forward?  Not many will be agreeing with you on this one ?

    Stopped watching. Will collect on bet on Richmond (Sportsbet) ... more than 6 points up at half time. 

    this is 100% structural. we do the same [censored] thing every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. we then get absolutely smoked on the transition against decent teams. This is a football lesson.

    Goodwin is out of his element coaching at AFL level. This is 90s-era football being coached in a completely different football era.

    He's a [censored] Muppet.

    Needs to be dropped.

    Disposal ha ha ha. Not under 10’s standard. 
    Oliver not a disposal to us. 
    VDB can’t run or take possession.

    • 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.
