    only solution is do away with interchange

    coaches will have the choice of run their team into the ground or start resting onballers deep and keeping them deep

    guess what the will choose

    Should not teams have the choice if they want adavantage. Why does the umpire assume in cases where a player may not know the free was paid?

    Games are so low scoring.  Is it the poor conditions or is the game just becoming a sump? Not attractive for viewers this ping pong and grind.

    It’s turned into Rugby.

    Geelong’s disposal is Melbourne like. 

    Richmonds pressure has been amazing, Geelong have looked a little Melbourne like under the pressure. I would hate to think how we would be going tonight though.

    I don't mind close games but this is just boring. Seriously Geelong have been the inform team and they have kicked only 1 goal and it's nearly 3/4 time. Even melbourne can do better than that. 

    Credit to dimma and his team for doing there homework but gee Chris your team looks horrible. 

    Lynch doing his hammy is interesting.

    Just watched a little bit of the current match. Cats playing their keepings off game but the Tigers are all over them when they miss a target.

    Not that I'm expecting GC to cause an upset against Collingwood but tonight's result will make it highly unlikely that Port Adelaide drop out of the top 2 places even with a loss to them in the last game which could be a problem for us if it comes down to that result.

    Cats might win this!

    I just advised picket ( on another thread) to get into the booze. Do it chook.

    Agreed. Drink heavily but importantly you must put the tv on mute lest you find out about a players uncle used to be boxer or some nonsense

    Flag favourites score 1 goal in 3 quarters

    Wow where do the tigers get all their energy from? It's almost like watching a team off a bye play a team off a 5 day break!

    Mismatched rest periods have been the worst thing about this season. I wanna see the win percentages for teams off 4 day and 5 day breaks.

    Oh Tom, there was still 5 minutes on the clock. No need to rush it. Instead of making it exciting and getting it back to 9 you rush it and they run it up the other end and get a goal killing the game off.

    mini come back from Geelong saved that game from absolute mediocrity.

    Time to reduce team sizes to 20 or 21 and reduce rotations.

    Everyone is sick of 30 players in one eighth of the ground

    Richmond are a very good side but there creeping up my list of most hated clubs quickly. I am so sick of Jack and Tom turning to the umpire complaining they didn’t get a free kick every time they don’t mark it and Hardwick is their coach so that doesn’t help. I really hope they don’t win the flag this year.

    • 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.
