It's astonishing the amount of league footballers who still don't know the rushed behind rule. Corr just gave em' a goal.

It’s more the interpretations by the umpires. If he walked it through they might have said he had 2 team mates he could have handballed to. There also seems to be a “prior opportunity “ factor not documented.

    He probably saw Richmond get a ridiculous free kick against Mills last week. I wouldn't blame the players.

    Hardwick out coaching Leon at the moment. GWS just can’t get it past the centre. 
     

    111 disposals and only 9 inside 50s.

    What an outrageous deliberate decision.   Kicked to a contest and the contest stopped the target player getting to the ball.

    Yet GWS are in front.

    The commentary is laughable...and not just Bruce.

    They're making a farce of the game.

    What's going on boy's? why can't GWS get the ball inside 50?

    It's not all about lowering the eyes.

    GWS are playing a depleted Richmond and are barely in front.

    They still can't seem to get the ball inside 50 often enough to be a real threat.

    What do the need to do?

    What are Richmond doing to stop them?

    Come on, give us a clue...

    We can only guess with the camera angles not letting us see what's really going on.

    I know, it's not going to happen but man the standard of special comments in our game is appalling.

    Add that to the ball by ball commentary and it's just pathetic.

    There's something NQR about the Giants. Skills are immense but not enough mongrel perhaps. Greene is elite as is Cameron but they have five plus more that ooze talent.

    Been a good game tonight.

    High intensity,  finals like. 

    And I reckon we can play at this type of intensity.  But can we do it all the time?

    That must have fallen under the 'no DH' policy.

    From the same guy that bought Barry Hall to the Swans and won a flag with him.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
