it is great to see us getting reward for our forward 50 attacks. Great goal kicking. Keep it going Dees.

    Well this 4th Maker's mark is going down well.  The two mountain goat starters didn't even touch the sides.  A bit like our kicks for goal... straight down the middle.

    We're ahead yeh?

    Game by far over. We need to bury this mob. 

    Haven’t seen this footy since the second half of the Grand Final.

    Zorko must have gut punched ANB to make him spew like that.

    Watch Christensen fine ANB for staging.

    Given that percentage IS important (we get to see the Dees at the MCG!) let's f*&ng [censored] them. No mercy. Go the kill.

    The key now is not winning margin but keeping Brisbanes score low. Ie if both teams kick 10 goals in the second half we lose a lot of percentage.

    Yep. We have to keep Brisvegas dry…

    26 inside 50 to each team.

    We are just brutally efficient tonight. Won’t happen every week but you take it when you can. 
     

    We need to put this game to bed this quarter. The Lions will come out firing so we just need to hold strong for 5-10 and not give them any momentum.

    Brisbane brought a knife to a gun fight, and I’m talking the blade on a a pair of fingernail clippers to a 155mm Howitzer.

    TV already making excuses for the Lions tackle on brown. disappointing to see.

    If it knocked only sense into him and no delayed concussion issues, I’m not overly fussed

    ??? 

    He has been for years!

    That was almost a faultless first half. Every kind of entry whether long kick or lowering the eyes we executed perfectly every time. Winning contested ball like absolute animals and 16 shots from 26 inside 50s is incredible. 

    Brisbane getting hot under the collar, I don't know whether it was to find a spark but it is working against them big time. Matthison is such a bin Dipper of a footballer.

    Winning almost every 50-50 right now. I'll be happy if we build the lead in the 3rd then rest guys and take the sting out in the last. 

    Come on Dees, let's Bin Diesel these bottlers!

    What a sight to see us so effective inside 50. The eyes are wide, we're looking for targets, it's manic, we're relentless, we're CONVERTING!

    This is exactly the sort of motivation we need going into the finals. Shots fired, watch out everyone else. 

    Lions = pretenders.

    Now let's bury em.

    Yeah, " momentum of the tackle yadda, yadda , yadda."
    Didn't matter when Chandler got 2.

    I thought up until Max took took those two late contested marks, that he and perhaps ANB and Spargo were the only ones just going.

    The rest have been scintillating. Jackson  May, Kozzie, BBB, Rivers, Langdon, Harmes, Tracc, Gus...

    I don't hate on players instantly like so many on here 😛


    We made need more condiments on table for second half, the boys are in feast mode ❤️💙

    Brissy will have to take it on.

    Can we defend a team coming hard at us and score on the counter-attack. 

    I notice the rubbish default kick to the FP has been turned on its head.

    The default is now lowering vision for the hit up pass...or kicking to the hot zone just outside the square.  The surprise marginal option is now kicking out to the flank or pocket then cutting straight back in on the angle.

    And look at that...we've scored our rough average score for the season in the first half!

    Good to see Harmes playing....a lot of extra muscle with him...Trac...Sparrow and Viney.

    May standing tall.

    Gus 17 touches. Oliver 14.

    I think Rivers has been good 

    My $ on kozzie for 7 Sausages.

     

    Bbb 5 marks...3 goals.

    17 at 35% and many of those awful no look flick or kick out of a pack which almost never works to our advantage…

    Absolutely love the bloke.  HATE his flick out possessions.

    • 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.
