Pickett just watching there, applied zero pressure.

And three Saints at the drop of the ball at the contest down the line to Maxy earlier there

    The umpires don't so much as umpire, as blow the whistle and point left or right. (@17.57, unrewarded Dee taclle).

     

    Pickett needs to get going. 1 touch so far! He's often around the ball but not at the ball, get in there and get the footy.

    He's also taken an intercepted mark in last line of defence and has kept Dan Butler quite so far.

    So yeah, he's playing great so far.

    I’d say his good moments have been negated by his bad ones, which equals “good” in it’s most generous definition.

    Brayshaw has hit 6 targets ... you watching properly?

    1 errant handpass that went out of bounds

    Meanwhile, Bowey kicked it to a Saints player 30 metres out

    Just checked afl site and 8 possessions at 38% 

    So either they are wrong or he didn’t hit 6 targets.

    Gawn is really struggling to impact 

    He tries to do too much instead of just playing his role.


    Cordy a possible scratching 


    We aren’t winning this unless we can turn this round, saints getting to many shots

    BS ... Not from what I've seen.  Handpassing to a player who then gets tackled is somehow labelled as inefficient

    The evaluation is garbage as many times the player is under pressure disposing of the ball

    Yea Max.

    That goal from your mark.

    Great kick Milk.

    • 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.
