Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

    4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
     

    This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique.

    Our tackling weak and ineffective.

    Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

    Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

    Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

    2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

    Our fumbling is superb.

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty. 

    Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

    Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

    He was like that last week....


    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    Of course Melbourne would stuff up this chance 

    I could've sworn it was only half time?

    He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

    Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

    Surely not?

    Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


    Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

    We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

    Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

    Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

    Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

    Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

    Not just you 

    old slow and rubbish below knees

     

    Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

    Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

    • 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.
