Bittersweet.

Thank goodness for Viney.

Good to see Kozzie and Chandler back in the goals.

Bad to see Lever and May play like that.

 

Without Viney we lose that game. Hope his limping in the last is nothing serious.

    Really hard to explain how we gave up 28 scoring shots

    We match up poorly on Adelaide and they are a high scoring side. What else do you want?

    Adelaide were playing for their season, to say this was a disappointing win is absurd. We held off their surge and got it done.

    Well those last five minutes were like a walking heart attack but thank god we won in the end.

    The biggest positive of today's game was our small forwards. Pickett looked very threatening and it was great to see Chandler get his confidence back.

    Agree but letting them kick 7:2 in that last quarter was abysmal

    The second string midfield really struggled. Sparrow, Jordon, etc.

    May a shocking second half. 

    Viney is top two best and fairest.

    Good stuff Kozzie and Chandler.

    Langdon played a good contested game.

    Tomlinson some good things.

    Loved Kossie’s game. Smith has done too much in the last 2 weeks to be substitute, but he’s a shoe in for sub if he doesn’t play.

    That was one of Maysies worst games ever.

    A lack of tackles from us was disappointing and combined with Crows inaccuracies....we were lucky to win.

    Yeahmay started that come back with a dumb kick still love him and it’s easy watching from the stands.  Good to hang on and Adelaide run Coll wood to a few points earlier in year.

    So many dumb decisions made in the last. 

    Langdon bombing in the last minute, when you need to keep possession, wow.

    Our disposal is still a real worry and the bombing into F 50 oh dear.

    But, we won and still in top 4.

    Viney just a bull. Gus was good and I thought Tommo was very steady.

    Kozzie best game this year and with Kade kicked valuable goals.

    I don't think the observation was as silly or obvious as that.

    Onto next week won’t be watching that game again. Awful, absolutely lucky crows couldn’t kick straight, they mainly refused to go down the line and took the short kick which we seemed unwilling or unable to stop, while we seemed content to just bomb it fwd

    What else do we have left to complain about if not small children singing the song with their dads? 🙄

    YES.     Every side throws the kitchen sink at us and their next game is usually a poor one. Ours isnt. Dees are used to this.

    Now i need a drink. jeeesus.

    Norff on top of Aints. Really hope they win. Go dees.

    Gus stepped up today. 16 contested possessions and 8 clearances to go with his 7 tackles. A couple of fantastic kicks going inside 50 as well.

    We will look a different team when Clarry is finally back. Trac and Viney are exhausted. Both should get a week off before finals.

    Fortunately, we know how to win. In terms of collective effort, will and hunger, we are as good as anyone. But there are some serious holes in our play which have been constant for most of the year. (brainless handballing, appalling kicking especially inside F50, and unpressured turnovers) We can get away with them against the Crows, but not against Pies, Power and Lions.

    Today against the Crows, 2 other issues arose which are of great concern.

    First - Crows players ran from behind the play to take a handball, and ran through our midfield like a hot knife through butter. They did it unabated all day. We stuck a few great tackles at times, but their run and carry tore us apart. Secondly, our decision making around contested ball or coming through half back. Wow. I have no idea what has happened to Stephen May but he was putrid.

    Great to see Kozzie and Chandler play really well.

    Loved the hard work of BBB and JVR. Not huge stats but they worked bl**dy hard. Likewise Sparrow.

    Max and Jack Viney - I salute you.

    Idiots will say we weren’t good. They’ll also say Pies are going to win the flag because twice they beat Adelaide by under a goal. 
     

    Go Dees!

    Call me an [censored] then cause that was average

    • 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.
