Kozzie needs to get involved, as does Big Benny Brown.

Gawny seems mentally off. 

Trac needs to sharpen his mind.

Our trademark, crazy, over-the-head handballs are anxiety-inducing.

    Chandler deserves some slack but he’s a mile off it. I can’t remember an involvement that was a positive one.

    Meanwhile Weid and T Mac in the side is a thing of beauty.

     

    Really enjoying Weid's contribution at the moment. He's hanging on to his marks, which is an excellent sign. Can't wait to see the boys get around him when he kicks one, which is inevitable.

    TMac has been immense, again. I'm stoked for him.

    Weid is still  2 grabbing almost everything.

    Would transform his game if he could trade his hands for Casboults.

    Raining all thru half time and looks to be getting heavier from my spot on level 2

    We are playing middling football but so are they 

    Salem the only clean user

    These three were not great last game either.

    Yes over the head to no one, Quite a few players not in the form they were a few weeks ago.

    All the numbers are going to Brown, need to be smart kicking inside 50, if we can do that, we win this by plenty. 

    one too many talls if you ask me.. brown goes out. fritsch needs to tackle and chase. chandler not going great. loving weed’s work.

    As usual, if I only looked at the match day thread, I'd assume we were 30 points down.

    We'll probably win but far from convincing. The dogs and Lions will give us a bath if we play like this against them.

    OK but it's our backline and TMac keeping us in front, quite a few need to lift.

    I hope Sparrow is good. We are missing Viney.

    Like last week we've got a fair few players that need to lift. Midfield isn't all that inspiring right now. It starts in the middle and we've just gotta win some contests, things will flow from there.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Petracca go forward, Neal-Bullen go into the middle. give us a bit of a different look

     


    Hopefully May accidentally crunches Mackays shoulder again this Q

    Need to do something.

     

    Just wondering are people allowed to seek shelter under cover during the rain or are they forced to remain in their seats?

    • 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.
