    I really hate how we capitulate in quarters. Itā€™s one thing to do against good teams. Itā€™s embarrassing to do it against a side that doesnā€™t even want to win.Ā

    I am furious after watching that quarter. Allowing the Hawks to play like that is inexcusable.Ā 

    Fumbling.Ā 

    Fritsch - what is going on? Does he need a spell at Casey?

    And if I see another handball to a team mate's feet I will scream.Ā

    Made to look ordinary by the 2nd last team on the ladder.

    They had control in the centre easily.

    Lift Dees FFS!!!!!!

    Why they waited til that quarter to play the ā€˜How to beat Melbourneā€™ method, who knows. They arenā€™t good enough to make it last of course, and donā€™t haveĀ the efficiency, but boy does it show once more how we can lose control of the game when ANY team plays that way. Troublingā€¦..

    Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarterĀ

    Chandler needs to find a way to get involved.Ā

    Langers and ANB are not in very good form.

    Wrested back control when Max went in ruck.

    Tracc and Oliver good.

    Petty off messes up structure.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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 ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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.
