Looks like if it’s any ducking at al that results over the shoulders contact it’s not a free. 

Understand the need to prevent ducking, but sad to see it applied where it's legitimately just a player picking up a ground ball

    Nervous defensively. Petty a little off. Doggies sharper around the ball. it’ll be a close game I reckon

    Until it’s a Doggies player then there is a special clause in the rules of the game.

    We look more dynamic on the fast break but they are very good in close with those quick hands…be a close contest all night I reckon

    Feels as if we gifted the dogs their goals. It doesn't look like they are doing much to keep it close.

    If Harmes is tagging Bont it ain't working.

    Grundy's hit outs are not really to advantage.

    Max bog.

    Kozzy dangerous.

    Lever good.

    Clarry, Langdon quiet.

    Nice goal by Tommy Sparrow.

    Pickett should have passed to Spargo in perfect position, but selfishly shot for goal and missed.    Also Riv could have kicked out to Spargs all alone, but kicked to a contest instead.

    Clearances leveled up bit we managed to hold together down back. Just the 2 Dogs marks inside 50.

    Free kick Bulldogs. Wtf. 

    Have seen a few bad ones in my time. That’s in the top 5!

    Rivers seems to be lacking confidence in his short kicking, he'd rather kick a bomb every single time.

    I think it’s going to be one of those rule adjustments with frustratingly unintended consequences…

    Tell me again how May isn’t the glue that holds us together down back. 
    Also please put someone better on Bont.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
