We can’t deal with the slippery conditions. We are wrong footed and fumbley as a result. They are doing fine with it. How many high tackle frees have we given away this quarter? Some kind of record

    Why are they playing American john Denver.

    Because Brisbane people don’t give a [censored] about AFL.

    Attitude and performance of our midfield tonite is pathetic, we won’t do any better than last year and haven’t learnt much based on this performance - no commitment and desire to dig in when it gets tough

    29 to 9 clearances against.  Ouch.

     


    Ashcroft is the new Duckwood.

    What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

    Seriously this is not a two team performance. We are ball watching. This is absolutely putrid.

    Showing he comp early we pretty ordinary when the pressure's on.

    Listening to half the people on here today it was apparently us who were the mentally stronger.

    I seriously don't rate Brisbane ....which makes our performance so far ....appalling.

    If half of our usual culprits lift we win this.  Thats how bad we're going and how easy it will be to turn it around

    may, salem, gawn, pickett out of the game, grundy and plugger barely played for a year, viney and fritsch coming back from knee and ankle injuries respectively - just too many of best 22 unavailable or not match fit

    Dont make excuses we are PUTRID TONIGHT

    OLIVER, CAREER WORST PERFORMANCE add VINEY, PETTY, LEVER ,TMC HARMES ET AL Just terrible from too many

    Trying to play system footy without the elite players the system is designed upon.

    At some stage we have to play draft, develop and play the game on its merits.

    Players with the physical attributes and training to play the game as it presents itself rather than relying on Superstars like Gawn making life easy for them 


    Lever a clear BOG for me.

    Jake Bowey not far behind.

    • 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.
