Why not move Trac deep forward with Max, and have Dogga ruck the entire last?

Bring Luke into the game more, give Max a bit of a rest but also big target, and just change it up for Trac to get him going again

The instructions from Noble are to hurt us and make it physical. Some old school coaching when they know they can’t beat you with talent alone. 
 

Im surprised that Norf have lasted this far into the game.

Max needs to work on his kicking for goals again

He looks about 10% - 15% off his usual intensity / sharpness in general tonight

People at the ground. Is it my imagination or are our forwards getting monstered off the ball? As in, illegally? Coz on TV it sure looks like it.

Why do we keep tapping it forward at the center bounce but no player is set up there other than a Norf sweeper?   Pretty dumb stuff

we are missing JV!!!!!!

FMD. When Max runs to the right he kicks to the left every FFFFING time

That works when you kick / punch  through the ball though....lost that so far tonight

In the Neeld years we carried off a mighty victory against top of the ladder Essendon and that's exactly how we did it. Dragged them down to our level and then beat them with experience.

I don't know how to take this game I feel that we haven't been that bad and Norf have been good but they havent given a yelp all year. Maybe where getting ahead of ourselves I know I was.

That quarter it was definitely the case, lots of holds.

I used to say you could never rely on max to win a game for you & you'd never want him to kick to win apremiership, then he had that great finals series,but this season he has gone offskew again

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
