    Still half a game left we should be aiming to win this by 8 goals plus

    Interesting how much confidence affects the ability to hit targets

     

    Players are running fwd off the ball making targets. Tackling ferociously. Pressure is immense. 

    Completely shut the hawks game down. 

    Something has clicked. When we play like this you question where it has been for 18mnths

     

    Let's finish this off dees

    Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

    Not me noting the mistakes and posting them, I liked what I saw in 2nd quarter, hope for more off the same in 3rd, if we make a mistake, we are scrambling to fix it

    The joys of kayo. Watching the second quarter again.

    How was that kick by tracc to weed? Bullet!

    I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

    Knew he was there, had the confidence to just roll around and pull the trigger!

    Luv it! ?

    Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

     

    Our poise has been better but alot to improve on, better kicking inside 50 would have resulted in another 3-4 goals. 

    Overall we just look so much more balanced with Omac and a Second tall Forward in the side, releases Lever to intercept to his hearts delight.

    Gawn and Petracca on another Lever right now.

    Good times Demonland.

    Agreed, but smarter ball movement and better forward structure also important.

    Anyone else noticed Nev playing a completely different role

    Yes. Best he's played in a long time. Lockhart is doing the lockdown role while Nev has been left off the leash

    Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

    • 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.
