Gawn is playing hurt and it’s honestly going to cost us in finals if he’s still not right.

    Big second half coming up here, are we up for the fight and potential shoot out? We'll see. Come on Dees!

    They have 2 days more break. That is worrying.

    Milk will sort em out.


    Umpires did all they could that quarter but the boys stood up. That knee in the ribs hurt Max. Jacko to play most of this quarter in the ruck.

    This game is not looking good for us. Yes we are in front but we are incredibly efficient in f50 which is weird and unusual for us.  Dogs owned us in that Quarter. 
     

    We need to tighten up defensively. We need to kick at least 2-3 goals to win this game. Dogs will come really hard this quarter.

    Play him forward for the high long ball. Need a big effort from the skipper

    may has to stop kicking the ball out to Max when English is there with him, he gets pushed out of the contest and english has longer reach, go around, find another avenue to move the ball on. we have so many returns to our kick ins because of the same thing. good finish to the quarter, but frankly they ran over us in that quarter thankfully they were kicking astray. we need to finish them off asap.

    Long 30 mins to go, feel there's still a lot of goals left in this one.

    Hopefully the warmer NT game and shorter break doesn’t hurt us in the fourth….!!??? 😬😬😳

    Thought our defence held up pretty strong considering how much it went in there forward line.

    We just need to get back to what we did right to get to 27 points up.

    Come on Melbourne. We cannot drop this game.

    Please keep their score under 100, don't want the streak to end!

    Melksham could've given one off to Kozzie instead of snapping from 40

    But I bet nobody starts a 10 page discussion about how selfish he is. 

    No signs of Gawny being hurt, he’s just getting beaten. Not sure where Dogga went that quarter??? Gotta even up at the contests or start winning, or they’ll just wear us down.

    Actually think he’s been great until that huge knee on the back in the 3rd.

    Which means there’ll be loads of chances on the counter.

    • 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.
