    10 disposals, 5 contested, at 90% efficiency in the last quarter was massive.

    Jordon and Gus had a few bad disposals

    i wasn’t as impressed with Jordon as others. Turned the ball over too often and a couple resulted in goals. 47% disposal efficiency. Needs to tidy up. Brayshaw 57% DE.

    A number of our players were well off the pace today. Pickett, Lever, Gawn, Brayshaw, ANB, Jackson, Petty, Fritsch, Melksham, and Rivers all played below expectations. Yet we still won! Can’t wait for everyone to have a big day out together — preferably in the last game of the year.

    I think you are perhaps a bit harsh on some. I thought it was a measure of how hard and strong Sydney was paying and trying to win, 

    most you have mentioned had a couple of times when their input was needed and it measured up. I can’t recall anyone being outpaced all night, a couple might have done better but   We had a win. 8 in a row  I followed Melbourne in the mornings papers back then, and delivering the herald on my bike to 150 houses as well in the afternoon.

    that’s a bloodying long time ago !

    Not sure how you could put Petracca in the best. He tried to do way too much and either got caught holding the ball too often or butchered it by foot. Not a great game by him.

    No chance, unfortunately. He could play like he did on Saturday every week and wouldn't get close. Umpires are unable to award more than a paltry number of votes to players who don't start in the centre circle for most of the game.

    • 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.
