Exactly why they should be watching

Are you watching this Goodwin?

Maybe watching but are there “learnings”?

Wrong in what way though THBT??

My gut feel tells me they MIGHT have gone too hard too early (built them up to a mad level of top end fitness) leaving many spent by the time we got to round 12ish.

Goodwin's poor player management in the second half of the season exacerbated this overkill pre-season prepping.

Big emphasis on 'might have' and pure speculation on my behalf.

Yeah I agree with this.

I think we left too much up to too few for too long. I also think we got our training loads wrong because the entire side looked flat at 3/4 time for the last 2 months of the year.

Max’s interview during the week alluded to the fatigue of the 2 seasons. No one was fresh when it mattered. We also played finals for 2 months before the big stuff began, and I think that just ground us down.

Depressing thinking the lions beat us

Amazing i50 by Myers to Hawkins.

If only we could do similar instead of long bombing to a pocket 

Watching the Dees all year I thought there may have been a rule change outlawing kicking to a forward target.

To make it hurt more

The Lions didn’t beat us, we did with our inaccuracy in the first half. Game should’ve been over at half time.

Not likely

They should be utterly embarrassed.

Cats pressure reminding me of ours in the lead up to last years GF

Reminds me of the Swans against us a few weeks back.

Much more relevant don't you think?

Hipwood also playing the worst game of the year the week after playing his best.

Berry as well.  Thought he was some sort of king pin after scragging Oliver last week.  Then there's that nong nong Dilmot

It wasn't  and the Lions won

  • 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.
