Dangerfield pushing his thumb into Gibney's eye was as blatant and as deliberate as it gets.  Dog act on a kid who has played 4 games.

    To West Coasts credit it was only the one really bad quarter that killed them.

    Given WC flew a WAFL team into Adelaide I’m flabbergasted they got within 10 goals.

    Geelong are clearly saving their best footy for the second half of the season, per last year.

    Who allowed the Hawks and Giants jumpers for the same game?

    Power and Crows will hate that.

    Were other states even considered?

    Opportunity to promote the game in non football states lost.

    Interesting to know who made this call, the outgoing CEO Gill?

    Wow, what the hell is the AFL doing? Pretty obviously nothing.

    Growing the game in other states? AFL says meh

    Didn't watch the game but noticed the following stats

    Hit-outs Cats 61 - 31 Eagles

    Clearances Cats 51 -31 Eagles

    Marks inside 50 Cats 24 - 13 Eagles

    Frees  Eagles 22 - 14 Cats

    So the Cats dominated the stoppages and had a dominant forward line but the Eagles were favoured by the umpires?

    #FreeKickEagles?

    Adelaide and Port should be made to play each other from now on in order to nullify the home ground advantage. 

    Essentially both sides are getting one more home game than the rest.

    If contemporary ground staff can handle six games on a wet weekend why can't we train on the MCG?

    Collingwood look off tonight and are missing their ruckman, De Goey and McStay might be out for the game.

    The scary thing about St Kilda is that they’re not even close to full strength.

    Saints look good. Bit like us in 2021. Guys taking contested marks. Manic attack on the ball. Working hard to support each other.

    I thought the idea of Gather round was not to have games at the same time and stand on their own.

    what is it about Hoges, never takes a game apart. should have 5 and they’d be home

    • 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.
