Why do you say that?

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns…

Sam Weideman is having a really good game tonight. Best I’ve seen him play I think. 
Good to see him doing well. 
 

(have just realised how handy he might be now, damn)

He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

    just showed the footage of the north interchange infringement. they had one planned last change. then Shiel hobbled off with cramp and some player ran on

    surely a sensible organisation would just say you have to pull the bloke back off. not wait a minute it’ll the ball is with 50 and hand the game to Sydney. 

    really embarrassing rule

    After his first 2 goals he kicked 3 points. Led/marked well though.

    A couple of those points weren’t from the easiest of set-shots. But yeah, he wasn’t clunking his marks this well with us.

    The problem seems to be when the penalty is called. It can be really badly manipulated, as we saw today.

    Today a free to North was then overturned to pay the interchange penalty. Is that in the rules, I would think not.

    Waiting until the ball is forward of centre guarantees a goal.

    serious question 

    does anyone else get annoyed that the camera zooms in on play and we lose the wide angle view?

    they do it more and more. take that great Cameron goal. zoomed in on him so you lose all perspective. 

    i think this might be my personal pet peeve but it would make me feel better if anyone even got what i’m taking about. god knows my wife couldn’t give a [censored]

    has there ever been a number 1 draft pick that has copped less criticism or interest than McGrath? 

    decent player but nothing special. Jack Watts must be scratching his head

    Dusty Martin is the best kick in the league by a fair margin.

    DubDee - I am with you 100% on this.  Last night there was so much zoom in that viewers had no idea about what was up the field and where anyone was aiming much of the time.  Appalling.

    Who’s the commentator that’s been sucking on the helium? 

    Is Terry Wallace back on air?

    Essendon winning on the siren makes me feel sick.

    That Richmond player that kicked it out of bounds on the full beforehand and failed to register a point was shocking

    I thought it was Wallace at 1st.
    I think it's Burgoyne.

    • 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.
