Great to see Grundy with 3 marks already though.

 

Let's face it, the scoreboard is flattering Freo. We have dominated general play but our forwardline hasn't been functioning well enough (last two minutes aside).

Great goal by Fritter to snatch one right at the end which is refreshing. He’s such a smart footballer, what a clever kick.

Not a great quarter, but we’re leading and we look hungry. I reckon we’ll see lots of improvement. 

ANB 6 tackles in a quarter. 

brilliant

 

Sounds like Jack is having a quiet game.

Our pressure and defence are excellent 

disposal and inside 50 kicking poor

hats off to ANB and spargo n Co for the manic pressure 

Our defence looks really good again I will say that

Taken two contested marks, not sure I agree here.


Well and top and should be fine th we in front. Defensive pressure and transition into our zone has been very good. Just need to finish our work and get more reward on the scoreboard for our control.

JVR innefective so far. Needs to start clunking a few with both hands.

I actually like how he's attacking the contest, that fritsch goal doesn't happen if he doesn't bring that to ground. The marks will come but he's presenting a good target for now.

his contests led to 2 goals. couldn't ask for more from a forward beyond kicking goals.

Defensive UNIT  is the best I have ever seen it

  • 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.
