The Weid has had as many disposals as our medi sub, can somebody who’s there fill us in on what’s going on? Is he in good positions and the balls just not going to him or is he just lost?

     Max shooting for goal seriously. Flip the ball, run to the right and try and hook it back. Seriously?

    Its a bloody awful kicking action.  There's no method its just as you described it.  Effectively a kick in hope.  The problem seems to lie in that hook and that if he doesnt run out to the right he cant kick right through the ball so will lean back.  Which will result in a worse hook lol

    Could easily think the umpiring we cop every week is a directive. So consistently terrible. Can't have us spoiling the Geelong/Collingwood/Carlton GF 7 and the AFL want.

    Salem slowly coming back into his 2021 form. His first quarter was exceptional.

    Good signs from Salo & Riv…. Need them back in form. 

    Slightly better from Salo tonight.  Kicking still lacks penetration though amd mostly up and unders no more than about 35/40 meters

    Do you mean the commentary?

    I am struggling with the rules. Hibberd went for the ball but because someone is running in it’s a free to them? I mean it’s not as if Hibberd is running straight at the opposing player and goes low front on. That’s where the rule started, to now where you can’t jump on the loose ball in the back line.

    Hunt needs to stay in, his dash gives something we have been missing

    In a game of margins  you'd hope that Kozzie not giving off and Gawn missing from 35 won't  cost us.

    Fritta great.

    He just does not have the competitive drive and appetite for the contest to succeed at AFL level. These are his prime years. This is as good as he gets after 7 years in the system. It is what it is.

    You can already sense how this game is going to go.

    After the siren kick for a goal for Freo from a free kick.

    • 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.
