I will never understand why people melt after wins on here when we have rounds like this. 

Felt guilty barracking for Freo today, but it couldn’t have worked out any better. 

Footy is our religion.

    As I suspected, they went hard early because Ken’s job is very much on the line. It’s impossible to sustain for 24 rounds then finals. 
    Will they find a third gear in time?

    Only @binman can answer this one 😂

    My take is it extremely difficult to back up after a game as intense and physical as last weeks pies port game - particularly if it is another high stakes, high pressure game.

    I mean, the evidence simply could not be clearer.

    It's not that the pies and port, first and second on the ladder, both lost.

    It's how they lost - both teams were gassed from the get go.

    I wouldn't be writing port off on the back of that game. 

    That said i think it is a joke so many 'experts' had a top three - pies, port and lions - and the rest.

    And I'm glad I've banged in about it. Peanuts everywhere in the media.

    And on port - I didn't rate them in the top 3 prior to that game. So nothing has changed.

    My one regret on the punting front is not backing the crows over 39. 

    Had the line and win bets covered, but should have had a nibble on the over 39 because that game was my best bet of the year. The crows were set for it. And as I expected port were gassed.

    Obviously I want to be 1-8, Dees over the Tigers 🤞🏻

    I don't think I have seen a round of football with this many upsets ever will be interesting tomorrow with the North v Eagles and Hawks v Saints.

    Are you backing them to beat Geelong next week?

    Also is Ashcroft that important to the Lions? Their midfield was trash today. GC shut down Neale and that was curtains. They’re back to being one paced again.

    Buddy is a spent force. It’s actually better for us if he plays

    Might be true now that he's pinged a hamstring, but his previous three games netted seven goals and four goal assists. Very handy spent force!

    I was just thinking about that Saints game. I chance to secure 5th spot. It’s just the sort of game they’ll cough up.

    I reckon WC may be a chance, NM could be aiming to finish below WC.

    How does a game of rugby union at the MCG get 84,000? I don’t know anyone in this city that cares about it.

    I didn't watch the cats dockers game, so not sure how poorly cats played. 

    But i can't see the cats losing twice in a row at home, particularly because port will struggle to come up after two weeks of intense footy and have to travel.

    On rhe travel, interstate teams must hate playing at kp because they have to fly into tulla and then get in a bus for what, 75 mins, down to Geelong?

    • 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.
