Wondering how many possessions ANB & Tracc have had after quarter time?

 

Clearance work is disappointing to the extreme. One of the most one sided performance I’ve seen in a while against us. Very concerning when the only mid missing is Viney.

    uninspiring.

    If we lose this, it'll all be on the mids/clearances. Getting killed.


    They keep waltzing it out of the middle. Luckily we have a Lever and May shaped wall in front of our goals, otherwise Freo would be on top.

    I thought he’d have a massive one today given how “angry” he was over the off season and the fact the he’s playing on a debutant.

    It's been going downhill for 3 years, but we've lived with this falsehood that we have this amazing contested footy team.

    Anb had 8 disposal in the first quarter. 

    Since then he's had 1...

    They seem to be setting up to get behind us and push it forward.....what ever it is we have changed nothing and need to

    If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit.

    We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

    Brayshaw hasn’t taken one centre bounce. He’s been on the wing all day 

    Still hasn't impacted. Turns it over under zero pressure. 

    We have an AA ruckmen against a rookie who can't impact. Winning taps. But zero impact. 

    We are shocking.

    Nothing to do with what's going on in the box.

    Exactly. We know how teams are going to play our midfield, they even say it in interviews, they force us under the ball and spread away, yet we never seem to try anything to combat that.

    James Jordan. BOG. 

    Im with you. He's leading the others. Woefully slow forward line.

    Is Goodwin the right guy? ?

     

    Petracca is a class above. Worrying signs.

    • 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.
