Merett 21 uncontested possessions. Shut him down.

But regroup & have a big 2nd half where hopefully we kick straight & roll home

Does anyone still think we shouldn't be playing BB in / around and out of the goal square?

Kozzie at the drop front and square.

Yes. BB would be handy tonight. Would be leading to the right spaces and competing on the dump kick

    Where McDonald? Fritsch? Pickett? ANB?

    Our forwards are completely non existent for 2nd week in a row. 

     

    Always outnumbered. The system or the execution is wrong.

    Sometimes footy is too simple for all the coaches and their ‘game plans’ in the FD to figure out.

    The heat on Oliver in this thread is quite unexpected. 

    3rd best on ground for us after May and Langdon IMO.

    Goodwin will blame our “connection up forward” , but it makes it much harder for the ball carrier when there’s barely a tall target to kick to. BB surely has to come in next week

    Anyone else think that goal kicked by Jones was already in the front row when his boot connected? What a joke to show a blurred ball on the replay as apposed to the real time. Blatant effing cheating.

    I fully realise this could be our only chance for a tilt this for the next sixty years but it’s fascinating to hear the commentators referring to Luke Jackson ‘as the big man’

     

    To quote Redgum

     

    I was only nineteen

    Clayton needs to get his head out of the clouds and mind on the job. Poor decisions costing us. Hoping he can turn it on for the second half

    We're kicking to a designated spot as if we had three talls. 

    We need to hit up some individual targets.

    It is though. Look at the UP stats.

    I was thinking this as well, unfortunately the goal umpire isnt going to pay anything against essendon in front of their cheer squad and then its hard to overturn the goal umpires call from there.

    God it’s a trial watching this. 

    Certainly not as much fun as it was earlier in the season.

    I think folks struggle when he tries to draw 2 tacklers and free up a teammate with a hand pass. His handball to Harmes got us a goal out of it, but when he doesn’t nail it everyone’s on his case.

    Jones needs a game at Casey

    it's just stupid to not play BB

    I get he might take 2-3 games to gel but give him a block of 4 games to be involved in our system

    • 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.
