Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

A nerve shredder coming up folks

On the plus side, we couldn't play any worse and are 2 points down.

The obvious negative being we couldn't play much worse...

 

Replacing May with Petty is like replacing Godzilla with a cheeseburger....

Hibberd is playing well.

Keeps his spot no doubt next week. In Jetta, Out Petty.

Our forward pressure which has been a trait of ours this year is almost non-existent. 

Petty is a heartbteaker

Melksham out never to return

Spargo back to boystown

Jones finished

Gus ,ANB are they out there

Brown last game 

Rivers fumbly and no awareness

Thats for a start

Hibberd has had FIVE more Disposals then

Brown

Petty

Melksham

COMBINED.

I think you missed about 7 others.

What a pack of whingers these Hawthorn supporters are. Every free kick to us is apparently a travesty.
We are holding up well and haven't allowed them to get off the chain. They have also done a great job in closing the game up. However, we need to get our act together on forward fifty entries. We need to find more run and dash heading in as the pinpoint, lead up game is allowing them to pick us off too easily.

Not really. The chop of the arms was there. they have paid the obvious ones to us. It’s the 50-50’s that are not being called for us

14 frees to 6 our way. Multiple goals from frees. Agree with those frees you're talking about but I dont think im that far wide of the mark. 

Lever is amazing and Max is great. Jones and Petty are shocking. Jackson needs to hold his marks. And it would really help they all could kick!

We seem to have lost that mid to forward connection again! And set shot accuracy!!! 

We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

but i see your point

 

2 F50 tackles. No longer doing what has made the difference lately 

Still time to tidy it up. Viney will come out firing after coping a low blow

Hopefully he can fire them up

Hawks are playing just as bad as us the only difference is our poor kicking 

Loving Jackson’s work around the ground. He’ll be unstoppable if he starts clunking marks more consistently.

Spot on.

And if Melksham plays like this for another half Ill start writing angry letters to the club again.

I don’t care if it’s ugly. We just have to win from here. We’re killing ourselves with our skills which are WAY down.

Legitimate teams win games like this.

Just need to get it done.

 

 

So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering.

A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week.

Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

Can someone explain how that last play was a free against Jackson?

could not see why it was paid

  • 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.
