These two sides and Brisbane are so so aggressive. Hopefully our sanity and commitment to a defensive game is the difference this year, because it's certainly bucking the trend.

    Port clearly tanked last week to rest players for tonight.

    Port will get it done tonight

    Finals are a different game. Rarely are they open and attacking.

    God Zorko is a despicable [censored] of a human

    While it's common knowledge he's a card-carrying [censored]-wit, I found myself wondering (while watching the game) how on earth he managed to a) become captain and b) hold the position for so long. There's no way Brisbane could possibly win a premiership with that [censored] at the helm. His tool antics just undermines everything they're trying to be/achieve.

    What I would pay to see Geelong turn into West Coast and become a rabble. Thats how much I hate the [censored].

    That's the thing though. Geelong don't bottom out

    Quaynor is 100% the best small defender in the comp.

    Isn’t our preference Week 1 at MCG?

    What an electric first quarter. I think it's pretty clear many sides are fighting fire with fire this year, and it will be a bit of a crapshoot.

    I back the Dees gameplan to bring a bit of control to these other maniac sides going hell for leather.

    I think port are tiring and the pies will run away with this, and stake their claim for all doubters as being the clear hunted side this year.

    Gee looks like a few Pies supporters there.

    Must have severed the old ankle bracelets.

    Mickey Mouse season. We need to win a real one to validate it in my mind.

    Could maybe make the case for the 2020 season with fixture disruption and shortened quarters, but not 2021. Reality doesn't owe you or anyone else a grand final win at the MCG.

    Really 4th or 2nd is our ideal finish I think.

    Unless Port finish first, which is unlikely. They have a harder draw than the Pies.

    • 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.
