Maybe shouldn't have rushed Butters back, eh?

Different leg I think

 

TMac two quick goals. That’s kept us in it here. If we keep the pressure up we’ll win. It’s all down to hunger now boys. Dig in and get the job done!

We're on top here

Just poor kicking again.

2g5b to 2g2b

 

Should be miles in front

Have to watch out for the hometown umpiring on the run home

 

 

This match can’t end soon enough.

Very lucky George dropped a sitter

James Brayshaw was barely concealing his disappointment

Don't mind a good chicken kebab!

how was that not holding the ball by Powell-pepper took on two tackles and dropped the ball

 

 

And a failed fend-off. Very lucky he was on the boundary line and stepped over it

We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. 

Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

 

Lucky end to the quarter.

We were outplayed and a little flat for most of that quarter so should have plenty in the tank to run over them now.

Thought Brown had a good QTR (and good game overall). Hasn't kicked a bag, I didn't think he would, but he's been present, in the right spots and delivered well into the 50. I reckon he'll sink one in Q4. A confidence building game so far.

Typo

We’ve extended our lead each quarter.

Time to step on the windpipe and smother the breath out of them. 


Decent sized Dees crowd behind the goals. ❤️?

Rhetorical question - answer is easy. Port player at Adelaide Oval. 

Good 2nd half of that quarter. We got back into it. That Langdon point hurt but luckily McDonald kicked a nice goal. 

We have led all night and at times comfortably. Now is not the time to drop it. 

Just need to take our opportunities and continue to attack. 

Petty has been great tonight 


Thanks you Tmac. Two massive goals. Let’s get the the first goal and finish them

It was his opposite foot. That being said, it sounded rushed anyway. Mid week I was thinking why would they. I think it’s unlucky and not related, but still a valid question.

Peps Pig caught with the ball - no free. 

Holding the ball every day of the week! Pick up put out the don’t argue then spin into another tackle and handball over the line, yeah throw it in. Unbelievable. 

TMac video of the week !


Brown + McDonald is like brownies and McDonald's - a winning combo.

Umps saw the free kick count at halftime and have evened up the ledger.

So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

 

As an aside, where was the ‘What they are saying down at Alberton’ thread this week?

How many players can Powell Pepper take on?

Two and then handball deliberately over the line and no frees at all.  There are diff rules for this mob or whistle just gets put away with the obvious stuff on their side much of the time.

Gawny works Lycett off the ball in the ruck contest straight after but apparently you're not allowed to be strong in the contest!

  • 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.

    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.
