It’s like they picked the dumbest 20,000 they had, chucked them on the wing and said “just boo”. They are legit inbred. 

No they didn’t their all like this.

    We got it right that quarter. Increased pressure, improved defence and the marking target kicked to a player in better position.

    Lots of kicks at goal from both sides have dropped short tonight.

    Brayshaw seems to be missing.

    Who shut Merrett down?

    brayshaw had a great first half

    Jesus this game is giving me palpitations.

    We're ahead and everything, and provided the wheels don't fall off we should run over these twerps.

    But we've gone from a 'nice problem to have' in not knowing who to pick up forward to we seriously don't know who to pick. TMac has gone off the boil, I thought last round was an aberration. Fritter has had a couple of assists but otherwise nowhere near it. Kozzie quiet. 

    What do we do?! We're going to need to convert against better teams and in finals!

    Really frustrating. We should have buried them by now.

    Not been watching us this year?

    Of the "better" teams who exactly had shredded us.

    Unless by better teams you ate referring to the pies and crows.

    Calm down mate. I've watched every game.

    Our current forward structure was working against the other teams. Today it has looked limp. Constructive comment to say we're going to need to fix it. The Bombers are not a top 8 team. We will soon face a bunch of them..

    Man I am going to enjoy this last quarter. 

    Wish I could say the same! I can’t/won’t relax until the siren sounds and we’ve won.

    Why single out one incident? They literally boo at everything. Everything. EVERYTHING. 

    Don't know.
    You're the one with Essendon supporters as friends .... Not me.

    A few of the boys not making 40 tonight. Weird.

    McLachlan: another three goals will put the bombers in front.

    • 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.
