That goal to Ellis was a disgrace of umpiring. It wasn't a push in the back (Ellis diving), it wasn't a high tackle on Rankine either.

Still, main issues are ours, not umpiring. Still too many inside 50s which don't go to our advantage and too much time spent in forward half without scoring.

    We are supremely frustrating to watch, yet we're in front.  I have no idea how that works or why it has happened.

    We will need to kick at least 3-4 goals to win this with the way GC are kicking them from everywhere.

    I’m obviously missing something. How is is that Melksham gets a game?

    I don't think I have watched more goals pulled from a rear end than I have tonight.

    Umps super soft there.

    Agree. Suns have 4 goals from no look snaps 

    umps gifting it

    plus Trac is playing dumb. Never goes back and settles to get the right kick. FFS WILL THE COACH TELL HIM.

    Melksham is taking the [censored] with his lack of forward pressure. 
    Our ball use is just so bad. It’s really hard to watch.

    I'm calling it now - some sort of ridiculous mistake, umpiring decision etc. will decide this game for one side.

    Umpires having too big an influence now. Well bloodywell give it our way.

    Most of the bad decisions have been non-decisions which there is no stat for. 

    I more mean that they will pull one out in the last minute which will result in the winning score and either have us really angry or just a little bit angry.

    the minute weideman stops running under the footy will be the minute he starts taking more marks.

    A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

    Melksham's head taken off. 

    Head taken off, then legged in the same contest - nothing.

    Meanwhile Langdon tackles Rankine cleanly and the umpire calls high contacts.

    I thought the push in the back was there, but high contact against Rankine was rubbish.

    Even with the dodgy umpiring we should win

    They'll make sure we don't

    Honest to God, our ability to self-destruct attacking opportunities is like nothing I’ve ever EVER seen, often hilarious and sometimes spectacular. If it weren’t so hair-pullingly frustrating, it would be hilarious. Neutral supporters must have a whale of a time watching us [censored] it up so reliably.

    It's an even money game and to be honest it was always going to be. Massive last quarter. Keep on top in contested ball

    Great game but. I thought we've been quite good.

    Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.

    • 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.
