West Coast still have some very good players on paper, and  I know it’s very early on but they look exactly like last year and don’t give a [censored] about their performances. 

The tank is on for Harley Reid already.

    Makes you wonder how they're managing their salary cap. The stars of the Eagles must be coming towards the end of their mega contracts

    I follow Norf with my Mate, who's mad Norf. So know a bit about them. As I have previously remarked, they are no where near a bad as some pundits think. There's eight players that get a game at Melbourne. West Choke, EssenDrugs, Horethorn, St. Kilda would be lucky to have eight between them.

    You’d be fuming being a West Coast supporter. One thing to be awful. Another to just not care.

    Tipped Weagles over North, in honour of my friend who just moved to Perth and matched with one of the players on a dating app lol

    Well, this aged well 🤣  hopefully my friend's dating life is more successful than my tipping!

    Just wondering why Luke Jackson didn't want to go to W/C. Must be a reason.

    Obviously Gill’s Work Experience kid made the decision on the umpire’s clash strip. Norf seem to have 4 extra players in blue tops, just without the white stripes. Small point, maybe. But in the split second world of AFL, this peripheral vision issue could really be significant. Still haunted by Clint Bartram’s brilliant offload to a maggot all those years ago.

    why do they keep doing it?

    it's not as if they don't have alternate strips. 

    it's not that fn hard....amateur stuff

    North have lost their composure. aimless bombing into F50 and over handballing.

    Gill hasnt finished his long apprenticeship  yet. I feel sorry for any  junior clerk who is tutoured by that corporate media clown.

    North got themselves to the infamous danger zone ... 26 points up... and didn't go on.

    We all know how this ends

    seems they're not going to follow the MFC of 2022

    I can pick up any of 6 Melb stations live on Match Centre here in Bangkok.

    Youre right though their 'live' clocks are useless for some games.

    I wish the commentators would shut up and stop reading commercials after goals and throw ins. FFS

    Quite enjoyable this match. Hunt with a barrel after the siren to win it for the Eagles.

    • 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.
