Kanga Kanga Kanga the difference in the end.

Chandler was massive and Judd just knows what to do. Hooray for youth!

We have some issues but I'll take any win in Round 6.

Please just retire Riewoldt. Always kills us.

    Van Rooyen is going to be a genuine star for us, how many young forwards have a quiet one for three quarters and turn it around in a matter of a quarter. 

    Gotta be mark of the year contender.

    Tonight showed us how close the comp is right now. True grit from 25 down.

    If there’s one moment to stand out from tonight, it was Hunter winning a clutch ball on the Members’ wing just before 3/4 time to set up the Oliver goal on the siren. The roar after Oliver’s goal was the loudest I’ve heard here since the Wattsy 2017 QB goal.

    I cannot believe we won that game. Apart from an increasingly good last quarter, our game play, skills, and decision making were as poor as they have been in 3 years. 

    Take a bow Jack Viney - epic game in every way.

    And welcome to the big time JVR.

    Brown's gotta come in to protect JVR and/or Petty

    Not sure only 2 key defenders is sustainable

    Great game by Viney

    Very odd coaching to have Gawn ruck to majority of the game when we needed a seasoned body up forward

    Win's a win. The first three quarters were far from enjoyable but I like how we responded in the last.

    Van Rooyen was incredible late. Looks a gun. Chandler's fast becoming one of my favourite players. He's tough, quick and super composed. Love him.

    Couldn't have been anyone other than Viney. Tough as nails and a constant presence even when we were getting beat.

    We take the win obviously, but there are some things we need to look closer at. Our backline was poor, still too much millionaire football, and our forward structure is a mess. 

    Having said that, positives: wrestling the game back, JVR and what a crowd!!

    Learn from this and take the W onwards

    Go Dees 🔵🔴

    Still worried about how we handle ground balls in our back half.. we just cannot stop the opposition.

    Gutsy win in the end but a few things to work on as well.

    JVR is heading to cult status.

    If JVR doesn’t get you excited, nothing will. 
     

    Plenty to work on still but gee it’s good to wrestle back momentum and grind a win out. 
     

    Judd ‘knuckles’ McVee is some find too, love his composure

    • 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.
