Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

?

Ha ha.

 

Gawn is a superstar best ruck in the league. Langdon and Salem playing well. We need to take the most of our opportunities up forward great to see Weid take a good mark unfortunately T.Mac isn't there to help him out.

We were better that quarter but the umps have no idea how they should be calling HTB

Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

A bit harsh to say he provides little pressure. Clearly our best pressure forward and should have had a free kick inside 50 that quarter for his tackles. Has faded off after a solid round 1 performance and getting multiple scoring opportunities in the pre season. Might need a week or two off

We have come a long way when bringing in Omac and then Tmac not playing makes us better.

Hannan and VDB very quiet.

Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

This is what drives me obviously crazy in the coconut. Why does one little misuse and then bam! I feel like we're always working on a scaffold at a construction site with no safety rail behind us. 

Much better than previous weeks and the structure sooo much better with Omac and Weid in!! Shame about TMac as it forces this to change.

Lockhart no touches and one free kick against, currently -3 rating points...

Useless. Like JKH only smaller.

Because every other team supporter would say the exact same thing about their team when that occurs...

Give him time Leon.

When was the last time we saw a Melb player draw a kick when pretending to shoot at goal, hitting up a mid/forward leading into opportunistic space between 3 opposition players, leaving them scratching their heads?

Same as Rivers this week


Who cares about Lockhart, plays down back and as long as his man doesn't kick a bag it's fine 

AVB, Melk and Hannan are all a true worry 

 

OMAC = Talisman

will need a very solid 2nd half to avoid being relegated for Rivers next week

Can’t win with Melksham, Hannan, Pickett, Jetta, Lockhart and AVB with essentially no stats.

AVB was magnificent. WTF are you talking about.

Are you here all week? Man I hope so ?

Way too many players not getting their hands on the ball.

  • 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.
