Someone needs to turn the lights off for 30 minutes so we can get this game back on our terms.

    This game day thread is a great reminder of why I don’t often read the game day thread.

    It’s ok to acknowledge the competition is tough, and we are a big scalp. Have some faith. 

    I understand what you are saying but I really do believe we are playing well below our best and quite lucky to be in front. Hopefully we will run over them but what we've bought thus far isn't great. Our backline looks like it did against Essendon almost.

    If Langdon is getting tagged we could send him forward and use Fritsch on a wing to get him in to the game.

    Otherwise I’d like to see Fritsch as a lead up half forward and the instruction to kick to the leads rather than bomb it

    The Suns have come to play so we need to roll the sleeves and get to work this half.


    Our lowest contested possession count in a half for over 3 years. Hmm.  Can’t believe its less than Port 2020 but there you go.

    You can see the hangover from the 90 point win with how many stationary handballs and Hollywood stuff.

    Shut up Dunstall you [censored].

    Why don't they just put on Suns Jumpers and play the team song on a loop.

    Kozzie you just make me smile

    Goody needs to do something here. Turners 2nd game. Lever mia and May struggling.

    Anyone who’s watched Disco at Casey knows he’s not a deep defender on big talls.

    That’s not a fair match up.

    No 3rd up from Lever either

    Put Petty back FFS. It’s going to cost us the game if Goodys not careful

    • 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.
