Chandler has exceptional skills all round. His foot passing sublime.

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    I agree, as a general rule club presidents shouldn’t kiss their coaches for many reasons

    I know that was little more than a good training run but one very positive point that did emerge is that in keeping Chandler and letting Bedford move on the Melbourne brains trust got it absolutely right. His accurate goal-kicking, constant pressure and excellent ball use stood out all night. And it was great to see Steven May showing his annoyance when North kicked some late goals. That's the kind of ruthless attitude that wins premierships.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more 

    I hear you. The Shack had a BArry Crocker for much of the game. And van Roo, well he was well held but we could use him a bit more.

    I wouldn’t worry about Mr. Sunshine ET

    I did say before the game i would take a 10 goal win, just really annoyed we gave up 3 junk goals to lose our 109 point lead.

    Credit to Tom Sparrow who has copped some heat on here so far this season. I reckon he played a career best game tonight.

    23 touches as 87% with 4 tackles and a goal.

    And will get the same result with BBB.

    I’m sorry but BB has a hell of a lot more runs on the board and was in good form in the first three rounds. 
    Schache is too timid to play key position at this level. He got out marked by Zeibel multiple times despite the massive height difference.

    Off a 5 day break I think we did very well to even show up in the last. 
    Hibbo was also off in the last.

    Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

    And yet we managed 22 goals.

    Easily the most disappointing aspect of the night was the crowd, which I correctly predicted at quarter time (I'm brilliant) would be 29k.

    We need to be getting 30k ourselves, let alone the third lowest drawing crowd in North also bringing say 5k.

    Almost perfect Saturday night, at the G, 35k-40k should be the benchmark.

    Some guy on talkback SEN complaining about the last 5 minutes - we did have a 5 day break FFS.  Tracc at interview said that they were all absolutely buggered.

    So what do I know, I said 5 goals we don't win by big margins. Nice to watch though.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    5 day break guys.  Cool it.

    Seriously, the pillock behind me was screaming when we were kicking it backwards. We got plenty of time to beat up on garbage sides later this season and maybe get a 100 point win then and if not I'll take a few 90s.

    Job done, no injuries (that I know of). Jets cooled.

    Our forward line mix is tallied about but spread of goalkicker and looking at our mix.

    How we go inside 50 is important and happy with how that looks. 


    Defensive side of the game we thought we needed to tidy up. 


    How we defend has been a ficus. How we create turnovers. 
    Though we’d like the last few minutes back. 


    Petty likely straight back in. He’s a key player. At either end.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back) 

    Yep. Did some nice things but didn't grab the opportunity.

    That start was scintillating. 

    When Kozzie is up and going we become such a dangerous team. Banging goals from outside 50 is such a confidence booster.

    Clarry dominated in that first quarter. Led the way.

    Tracc: 30 and three.

    Fritta is all class.

    Maysie back in form.

    Chandler played the perfect small forwards game.

    Sparrow was very good.

    Angus best game for the year.

    Less impressed with Shack Attack and van Roo.

    Also I wonder about the effectiveness of Hunter's dribble handballs! Had a good game though.

    • 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.
