Back to kicking long without looking, while they look for leads. Who’s up the top again?

So hard to watch.

Hawks have turned this into a scrappy Auskick game and it's working

Any chance we can hit a leading target inside 50 or on the Arc???

No chance we bomb it and it 3 talls fly for it and spoil each other

 

u guys should block me coz im gonna come so hard for all the people that were talking about top 2/top 4 etc. despite a body of evidence that shows we have a soft underbelly. 


Look at that.  One kick to the 50 hits.  Then another on the lead between a pack of 5 defenders.  This has to be the worst game we've played this season.  Just ahead of the Pies and then GWS.

We'll be lucky to make a PF.

    We are just bombing it in our 50 and going back to handballing

    Our backline hasn't been great tonight. 

    And you wonder why we don't get talked up as premiership favourites. 

    The players attitudes have been pathetic.

    We do that ourselves.
    Not enough class to slice anyone apart.

    They’re working harder and they’re hungrier. We should come out breathing fire this quarter and instead were barely giving a yell. They’ve  won the quarter on the scoreboard and they’re leading the tackle count 24-9. 

    WAKE UP YOU LAZY [censored]

    Now panicked settle in, a game we controlled we now are in trouble of losing

     

    Oliver complaining about an umpiring decision while the play is still going, Hawks goal.

    That's a microcosm of our attitude tonight.

    • 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.
