Boy oh boy do they want the hard ball more than us. They’re shepherding, getting in front, making smart blocks….all the things you do in a wet game to create the advantage.

5 scoring shots each but don't convert & they do.

2 goals out of their backsides         typical  we cannot hit a barn door scoring

it’s wet AF - one up, one down waiting for the spoil, and if we are playing the ‘hammer it forwards from the ballup’ game can you please put a red and blue jumper 15-25m in front of the contest?

The chances were there early, didn't get them. That's enough to cost you in a dry game. Even worse in the wet.

I know i rabbit about the maggots but seven to two on a night like this is fourteen to four.

Cheets cheets and cheets.

Dogs half backs controlling the game. Pushing up and thrusting it back inside their 50. Spargo and Pickett need to lock them down if we’re any chance tonight.

Half forward line getting thrashed need to lift

But our mids have to run with the ball deeper and deliver to give our forwards a chance. Just bombing and hoping from forward of wing at the moment. 


My God the umpires love the Dogs. 
Lever virtually  tackled round the head going for a mark - play on!

Dogs get touched free kick.

Dog just drop ball nothing!

Frees 8-2 joke on a wet night 

Max Gawn has NO  IDEA AND CAN GOODY PLEASE PUT A DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THE FUGGIN DWARF DANIELS

Worth putting Kozzie to play a run with on Daniels?  He's running hot and setting up so many plays as per usual.  Ideal conditions for him but Kozzie might be able to kurb the damage

Brown's set shots have been a worry lately. When he was at North he would've nailed that set shot 100/100.

Has he shortened his run-up or something?  He looks so much more unsteady prior to kicking.

The more a player spins or wiggles the ball around while walking in for a set shot, the more likely they'll miss. I knew BBB would miss just from that!!

BB and Kozzi's misses were just terrible misses 

 kozzie over rated at present but shows promise in next few years

yeah and umpires on side of course

Kick it to or in the vicinity of Kozzie. Only one who looks dangerous atm.


I know its wet but im not sure jackson can mark much. 

Not surprised. Think we have more capacity to lift than them. They got lucky with some of their goals.
Get the handball receives cleaner and then we will make space for transition. 
Gawn also needs to play the percentages, to many hit outs or punches went straight to them. 
Looking forward to a big second quarter. 

What is wrong with Viney? Just loses himself in every 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.

  • 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.
