Can we seriously buy a free kick??

Only in the back 50. Nowhere else.

 

Really got mozzed with the injury list talk this week.

 

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about the injury list

We clearly got ahead of ourselves before tonight. Both fans and players. I can take losing tonight at this stage, at this stage all I want is that Max isn’t gone for the season. Please please don’t be an worst case scenario 

Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

What is this ball use?! Are we drunk?

Just had a free pour gin. I’m on my way!!


Oliver and Petracca on the bench together, they have both been average but that is odd to have them off at the same time.

What has happened to Brayshaws kicking?

Always been sketchy.
As with most in the side.

 

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

i'd forgotten how much bile gets spilled on the match day threads

Yeah, it’s off the charts


Still just bombing froward. NOT WORKING GUYS.  RETHINK and RESET.

Petty having a shocker

With a lot of company I'm afraid.

Sloppy, losing clearances big time.  Half the boys up forward have barely touched the pill.

The worry for me is the structure, lack of big man impact.  Kicking down the line too often.  Not ogranised or clean in the middle (fumbles... not many first touch clearances) and some seriously dumb footy.

The good...

Sparrow, Lingers, Rick, Chandler, BBB (best of an ordinary bunch of forwards so far), Harmes (getting to the right spots but disposal too often smothered or goes nowhere), McVee

The Bad...

Max going down with a bruised knee

Grundy's ability to find a Lion

Clarry kicking's

Viney's kicking

Tracc's kicking

The ugly...

Nibbler's game

Tracc's game

Gus's game

 

 


Saprgo knows how to win a head high free kick

Need to try anything other than the long bomb forward - just isn't working.

Why can we do it at training but in a game it all goes out the wimdow??

 

This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening.

Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

  • 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.
