Viney copped one in the gonads but he's up and walked off gingerly

    Those calling for Petty’s inclusion might not be so bullish about him now.  Very ordinary so far.

    First game in a couple of seasons? Gimme a break.

    Fumbly , indecisive, poor decision making and about 10 players need to lift ........ a lot.

    We're playing rubbish and are 2 points down with 3 more scoring shots.

    Good signs if we can click even a little bit in the 2nd half.

    You feel we'll get there today, but only just. This is simultaneously promising but also deflating.

    The talent is there, and we're doing some individual brilliancce things that will probably win the day, but the effort isn't always there.

    Would love to not have our best 3 forwards out.

    Also, Jonesy I love you but it's time. Get your 300 this year, but not next week. Next week is too important.

    Ugh our ball use is so sloppy at times. What should be an easy kick to another player is turned into hard work. We aren't playing anywhere near as good as last week.

    Hawks getting into Petracca’s head, don’t listen to them Christian.

    We’ve wrestled the game back, now let’s get going in the second half.

    Paid a mark

    We lack a forward line. While In our defensive 50, everyone is back there. Our most offensive player is in the centre circle. I miss seeing Fritsch already just floating on our forward 50 line or deep in the square.

    Then while in our forward 50 we flood ourselves with every midfielder in every pocket for a forward to lead to.

    I've seen McDonald and Petty at both ends of the ground. We're missing a dedicated forward.

    • 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.
