    Perry’s looking more comfortable this week and is strong overhead.

    Jordan is playing with confidence and has had some good run and carry plays.

    Viney is getting the attention usually reserved for Clarry and Trac.

    May and Lever very strong.

    Brown providing a strong option but needs to dig a litter deeper to cover stkilda’s defensive switch.

    Langdon running into some form.

    Melksham is dynamic and will hold his spot in the team.

    I didn't go tonight either. I go every week, pay $1000 in memberships, sort of didn't feel like paying more to go to to a concrete jungle and get home by midnight again.

    Yep same. Time slot is brutal. Especially living outside Melbs. Sometimes I do miss the all-Saturday arvo fixture.

    Not at the game.

    Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

    I would expect it's because running it down a wing with 50 handballs allows the opposition to flood into our forward 50 and clog it up so it rebounds out or we try and kick snaps in a congested forward line.

    We're switching but doing it very deep and slowly (Barry white style baby uhuh).

    Might want to take on the corridor a bit more aggressively.

    Not at the game either,. 😜

    Brayshaw an absolute butcher -  44% efficiency and turns it we in terrible spots -  some of it is just careless -  needs to lift intensity.

    Max and Kozzy a mile off.

    Even just a genuine effort would be more than what he’s done so far. Doesn’t look like he’s trying tonight.

    Do we have a nickname for Taj? (Where “Taj” could be akin to Steve for Steve Irwin - another Australian legend)

    I like WW2 (Woewodin 2)

    Grundy should have given away a free there.

    Selection of Spargo and Melksham has been much criticized. Both are doing far better than the much-vaunted Kozzie.  It's baffling and frustrating because we all know how dynamic Kozzie can be.

    He's had 1 touch tonight and had had a poor season to date

    But for whatever reason, we'd rather express our ire towards players who are in the thick of things and who are constantly under pressure with their disposals

    At least they are getting the damn ball and not hanging out the back ... spectating

    • 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.
