Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

    Thoroughly enjoyable game.

    They nearly coughed it up but a great confidence boost for North before playing Freo next week. Reckon they're half a chance.

    That wasn’t a mark so didn’t deserve the goal. 

    Hard to believe with four umpires they couldn’t see that.

    Young Sheezel can play. And comes across as a level headed young fella in his post game interview with Ben Dixon

    Even the commentator said Norf had the rub of the green.

    Umpires better hold their many whistles tonight when its in doggies fwd half.

    That's pretty bad by west coast. also why were they handballing in those final moments in the middle. Boot it forward and get it going. 

    Nth fans feel like how we felt all those years ago when we were so bad that a win felt good, but in reality I hitnk there next win will be awhile away. 

    what was the crowd?

    He's great player with 2 better mids above him.  Hence he was brilliant at Geelong.  he doesn't have the "size" to control the centre by himself.  All the trade capital ended up at GWS.

    Yes and he's sitting only DT tech :(  I wonder if I should trade in a non-playing player to get his score.

    Maybe it was never really "free kick hawthorn."

    Perhaps it's "free kick A. Clarksons team."

    There has to be something seriously wrong at WC, they have too many players who (on paper) are performing well below their best.

    Who's going to be the one to tell Clarkson that it's not a free kick to his team?

    On Collingwood, the funny is people say about last nights game “they’ll have trouble playing like that every week”, well they don’t have too. They only have to play like that against 4/5 sides. The rest of the time they can afford to play 1/2 as good and beat most sides or just play like that in patches when required.

    Hope you’re right but wouldn’t have thought they could give Freo a serious challenge.

    21 to 4 Brisbanes way. The locals must be going loco.

    Just fuels the fire to stick it up them when they walk off the ground failing in their endeavour

    • 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.
