It really frustrates me how McDonald and Tomlinson can get games ahead of Petty and Mitch Brown

    Vandenberg, Jetta and McDonald.  We are in huge trouble if these guys are playing this year. Have looked incredibly slow and way past it now.

    How true I would also put in Jones in there.

    Understand we have some personel issues today, but there are some serious alarm bells ringing.

    Our distribution out of the back half is terrible. We look so slow with our movement. Clearance work no existent.

    Yze would be fine tuning his Ideas for mid season i reckon.

    Our depth is appealing. 4-5 injuries later in the season and we may as well call it a day


    "I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

    Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl." (Quote from another post).

    Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you Elegt. You're a beauty.

    honestly, the free kick differential is neither here nor there for mine - they have simply wanted it more, got to the front position, and worked far harder defensively

    Our youth/depth is appalling. A few injuries and we need to rely on Jordan, Chandler and Baker

    We have plenty of areas to improve and no need to worry which or any of our recruits will be in the round 1 side 

    glad it’s March!!

    BIt rich when it happens in nearly every game, every year, and remarkably winning or losing.

    Bring em back to reality , says AFLeas....

    Nice kick Maxy. I was expecting him to shank it.

    Great clubs have depth and cover outs.

    We cant.

    They also wield the axe when necessary.

    We dont.

     

    Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

    If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him

    Fritta and Anb good the other end.

    • 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.
