Yes I know, they are struggling against a side with 15 out

It would indeed be a disgrace to lose this game. But we lost to Adelaide and Collingwood last year.

You can't build a forward line around Chol and Casboult. They are terrible.

Not sure they planned on King doing his ACL. But yes their back up talls are borderline AFL quality. 
Outside of Miller and Rowell they aren’t much chop, which is confusing because they’ve had 198 first round draft picks.

    Of course they'll lose.

    Fair enough unexpected losses will happen I agree, but just about every player on our list would have to catch covid at once to lose to the rabble I’m watching at the moment!

    This is bang bang bang but neither team has a sweeper right now!

    Thought this an hour ago, but the only thing that would prevent Gold Coast from winning this match was their kicking for goal. Should have been 20 points up halfway through the third.

    NicNac is Benjamin Buttoning the ruck position, he’s gone from the most exiting with his athleticism to turn back the clock to the 80s and 90s plodders who had lots of ruck taps and sweet f all else.

    Have enjoyed Powell's work (no.27) tonight for the Gold Coast. Strong mark and good foot skills.

    No ... it was Jack Fitzpatrick.

    Suns should hold from here at our 2nd home.


    It's an absolute travesty there aren't 60,000 WC fans inside Optus to witness this.

    Great finish by Gold Coast. Eagles clearly ran out of legs but GC played well. 

    Good to see Matt Rowell back in action. Touk Miller is a star.

    playing in mid twenties heat away from home off a 6 day break, we have a major advantage next Sat

    • 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.
