The team can't run. It's the difference between a team that can run and a team that can't.

4 day break.

It's only 24 hours less than what Port had, and we were at least in Queensland last week (they were in Adelaide).

Not sure it's that much of a factor?

    Let Pickett take a shot. 

     Pickett and Jackson look to handball every single time.

    OMac the classic or OMac 2.0 (Lever)?

    Rebuild may be hard when we gave away our top 3 pick in this draft already, and our so clever recruiter thinks he is smarter than he actually is.

    I agree. And yet I'm not entirley sure we have a choice. Tough decisions will need to be made. I'e Brayshaw, Viney, Salem. We're stuck with Lever. Work out how to get Josh Kelly to the club and go cap in hand to the AFL to help us lose Goodwin

    It's not necessarily about different methods, but it is about how dependent we are on CPs/clearances.

    If we can't dominate in the middle, everything else falls apart.

    It's not just contested possessions our gameplan relies on workrate. It has been non existent tonight, the players haven't given a yelp

    I have seen a lot of spineless performances by Melbourne over the years but make no mistake this game is up there with the best of them.

    Peahearted tackles, no running, zero football IQ, crowding around the ball, 4 flying for a mark. 

     

    Goodwin, just pack your and bags and go.

     

    And as for the umpires you can all [censored] off. I'd go as far to say that they're cheating.

    I'm watching Basic Instinct on Foxtel more thrills in 90 minutes than the last 2 years of watching this club.

    Anyone who is commenting on the umpiring is 100% missing the point. Nothing but a deflection from one of the worst performances we have served up in years.

    Why can’t both things be unbearable?

    • 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.
