Hopefully May runs through Ben Keys. He has a hugely punchable head.

    If I see to more of our players contesting the same ball, I will not make dry July.

    I think Adelaide have caught us off guard here. I don’t think anyone expected them to play so defensive and have an extra down back. We will adjust.

    Quarter riddled with mistakes and poor decisions 

     

    Poor execution and sloppiness will cost us here. Need to sharpen up and hit our targets.

    And then sit out for 3 weeks?

    Too many small forwards in this team.

    And yet still no influence.

    Good work from Max , Tommo, Jvr, Viney and Mcvee.


    We look a little exposed for leg speed here, getting wrapped up a lot

    5 crows leading the tackling stats tells a story

    Kossie started strongly, I like seeing him up the ground a bit more; getting amongst it.

    The thing that strikes me comparing this game to last night's is the pure structure of Melbourne's play. It's really professionally done, and I think even the dodgy looking forward entries are built to reinforce and enable this structure.

    Whether it can hold up and outscore your Collingwoods and Port Adelaides in finals remains to be seen but it's definitely different than their gamestyles.


    Adelaide’s pressure has been very good. They know their season is on the line.

    1st. 

    🤮Dees terrible kicking. Kozzzzy. Trac. May. Bad turnovers 

    🤔Mcvee struggling on Rankine (keep the faith) 

    🤔Lever brain fade deliberately out of bounds

    Rooooo. Mark. Goal.  JVR. 👋👋

    I think you’ll find it wouldn’t take much for him to drop.

    • 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.
