I mean so many great tackles unrewarded, and that scrap gets rewarded to Buddy.

    Why are our tackles unrewarded?

    Gawns was a farce.

    If we dont fix our centre clearace issue goody we will lose.

    Trac needs to lift on six million bucks.

    Gus just rocking up.

    Too many sub par efforts in this game.

    Gawn into the middle and we lose all momentum. Jackson has to ruck out the game.

    I do not understand how holding the ball is a different rule in our goal square than it is everywhere else on the ground.

    Rampe took on Spargo and got done cold.

    I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

    I’m furious.

    It should NEVER happen.

    He’s having a mare.

    Fritsche is having an absolute mare. Trac thinks he can plow through the entire Sydney team by himself. A bit of bighead about him this week with his new fat bank account.

    We should win this from here, but the Cats thought the same thing last week.

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    Again, we dominate the first two thirds of the quarter but don’t convert that dominance into goals. 22 points was good but should have been 2-3 goals more. 

    Couple of critical moments go against us and we end up losing the quarter it’s only a 10 point margin.

    We must take our chances if we want to win this.

    Petty is nowhere near the level needed.

    As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

    That was a pathetic performance by Gaen and the mids. Getting absolutely flogged in the clearences

    He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

    Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

    Yep and Fritsch needs to lift and do the basics right. The kick into the man on the mark shows he's not switched on. Hunt playing well as is Langdon....

    Did some one forget to tell Fritta he got off. Cos seriously he would have been more effective in the stands. He has so far avoided every contest available. 
    Petty is no good. Any game he plays means we are a player down. 
    Trac tonight is believing the hype and getting caught by being selfish. 
    Max needs to actually lift and stamp his authority on the game.

     

    If Goodwin doesn’t work out the centre square set up we are behind the 8 ball.

    Need a big qtr. Swans have the momentum, we need to get the first 2 goals. 

     

    Sitting right in front of the Buddy HTB decision. The way he jumps on a stationary pack and turns around petulantly looking sat the umpire who pays it... Christ...

    • 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.
