Iā€™m in Perth today and have a few hours to watch the footy. Anyone recommend a great pub in the CBD to watch?

    Bizarre for hawthorn to be playing in tasmania at 3.20. It'll finish in the dark.Ā

    I hate to even think it, but Mitchell has the young Hawks well drilled and full of life. I can't believe I like watching the Hawks play, but their system and dedication to it is clear for all to see. Love that Newcombe in the midfield, and Frost would be very hard to cover in the forward line. His kicking might become an issue though.Ā

    Frosty!!! Looking good as a forward.

    I love this move from Mitchell.Ā  Hey it may not be a long term option or very effective other than as a one off surprise tactic but i'm almost certain the Brisbane brains trust wouldn't have covered this in their pre-game analysis and strats.

    And who knows.Ā  You just never know what the outcome will be with a move like this until you trial it.Ā  Unlikely i know but Frosty might have missed his calling and this might become a permanent option if it works well enough.

    I still remember Frosty bombing a goal from 50 in a QB game for us. His crazy kicking looks a lot better whenā€™s heā€™s kicking at goal.

    Hawk win would put us two games clear on top. So go Hawks.

    One of the rare times for me also

    Alot of youth & inexperience in this mob but there's some great spirit amongst them and they sure have a red hot go

    So many people saying we would lose to the Lions right now. After watching the first half versus Hawks, I cannot see them getting past us too easily. McCluggage is being tagged in the 2nd quarter and their drive has almost dried up.Ā Ā

    Anyone who says GWS are doing a better job against West Coast than we did needs to look at how many goals theyā€™ve conceded to WC. Double the score from last week already.Ā

    Clearly below average teams shape up decently against top sides.Ā

    Helped by really good umpiring

    I withdraw that comment after that ridiculous free kick paid to Prior.Ā

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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 ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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.
