Clarko giving us a hell of a lot more credit than the commentators. Looks shocked

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

     

    Don’t worry. We haven’t been 5 goals up at any stage this year. Against Carlton we led by 7.4.46 to 2.5.17 - that’s not 5 goals.

    I love how Clarry just wants to surge the ball forward rather than handball sideways

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

    Been missing far too long.

    Monster work by Viney. And a Viney-esque finish.

    Gotta get over the Chris Sullivan line.

    List wise . . . the half time position says at least as much about where the Dorks are as is does about us. They are in a world of pain. 


    Smith and Gunston. FFS. Every. Single. Time we play this team. 

    Too easy

    Read page 6 of this thread. There are your true Demon non-supporters. Looking to write the boys off after 10 minutes. I’d hate for those blokes to have my back.

    At least Breust isn't out there today. He hates us.

    Hawks are playing a +1 down back.  We need to be patient coming inside 50 if we aren't manning him up and look for short options or go long to the square.

    Bomb or dump it in too often we will lose and they will rebound quickly through the middle.  Score a few times as a result and the game will be back on their terms.

    • 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.
