Nathan Buckley’s trying to argue that Richmond have forced this scenario. He’s completely ignoring our inaccuracy. That’s the game right there. Appalling commentary from someone who should know better. 

Probably shows in the big picture why he doesn't have a coaching job

    Fritta needs to get on his bike. Vloustin is his opponent and is destroying him and us. 

    Fritsch doesn’t really know how to play as a defensive forward. He needs to improve his intensity at the contest.

    Gone to sleep here .. putrid effort 

    What a  load of crap. We are 3 points down despite kicking 3.12.  Yes, our goal kicking is putrid but on the balance of play we're a 6-goal better team. Message at half-time is keep playing the way we are but just choose better options in the Forward 50 and kick straight! I'd be amazed if Richmond can keep this tackling pressure up but if they can they probably deserve to win 😞

    I’m done with Weid. Move his [censored] to the dead pocket and tell him to play up and down that flank only.

    Park BBB in the square and have the smalls rove off him

    Agree on Weidman , we actually need BBB leading further up the ground

    Spargo, Kozzie, ANB, Sparrow nail their relatively easy shots and it’s game over. We’ve kept them in the game simple as that.

    Richmond kicked 3-1 that quarter for 8 entries, we kicked 1-6 for 17 entries

    We kicked 3 goals from 32 inside 50s.

    Tracca and Jackson and Kozzie  and Fritta might want to get involved the next half.

    When it comes to games like this, pressure games, proper pressure. We learn a lot about our players. Good that you mentioned Kozzie. Anyone who bags Kozzie for whatever reasons needs to watch this first half. I loved Kozzie before tonight and I’m sure we all do, but wow, really impressed by him tonight. Has he had limited opportunities? Absolutely, so that’s why the casual observer, and probably limited knowledge of football supporter, would deem Kozzie to be having a quiet game. But the kid has been willing, and mostly important, has shown great intent. 

    I will give you some beyond sh*t players for tonight. Petracca, Neal Bullen, Luke Jackson. Probably more, I assume McDonald ain’t out there.

    Translation please.

    Gus gave Jacko a spray for his poor defensive running. He lost Reiwoldt and let him mark uncontested.

    On Weid’s 1st half , Tommy McDonald back in next week. Weid has to lift and take a contested mark.

    There's been a few turnovers downfield just because of his hussle

    Been performing quite poorly all year.


    We are blazing away, just kicking long to any old contest and expecting to kick goals. And we aren't. 
    Time to go smaller up forward and get Fritta and BBB room to lead. Play Weid higher up the ground and max or dogga to stay out.

    Aside from some sloppy play through the ground, a few guys being really quiet and some strange disposal choices, we should be in front by a few goals at least. Goals win games and I'll back us in to turn it around in the second half. There's no way we can keep missing, right? RIGHT!!?

    Anyway.

    We'll pile on 12 to 3 from here and Bowey will get to sing again.

    We do not need to do anything but put that foot all through the big sticks. We are beating them in nearly every stat  we need to be more clinical, lead to the right spots and kick through the footy.

    • 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.
