Too cute Bowery.

Langdon too immobile and just looking at the ball

    Blues playing out of their skins. Pretty happy to only be 2 points down, but it’s pretty annoying that we missed some gettable chances because it looks like those will be very important. 

    Can we come out in the second half and turn it around?

    How Jordon continuously gets a game is beyond me.

    He's a worry at times but there are a few out there totally butchering it.

    I don’t know how many times Hewitt has been caught and just dropped it.

    Quality game. I think if we're able to get out the back Carlton are vulnerable but aside from that it's going to be about who wins the most contests.

    The Carlton supporter behind me, I've just about had enough of him. He feels he has to tell out his opinion on every play. If he bags another one of our players I'll scream.

    We better win just to shut him up.

    Well I don't think we can play much worse and it's only a two point difference.

    Feel like Carlton can’t play any better than this and we just need to make a few changes and a few less errors and we run away with this.

    I’ve never seen the kind of pressure Carlton are dishing up. It’s beyond extraordinary. Playing out of their skins. They can’t possibly keep it up, and when it drops, we’re in. Well done boys, hold your cool.

    I do wonder where our goals are going to come from.

    Maybe Smith forward.

    We’re just lucky Carlton didn’t turn inside 50’s into scores in the first quarter. 

    Our defence is elite. We will be OK.

    There is a reason they didn't.

    Out the back (and van Rooyen once he stops missing them).

    Agree. I think we’ll be ok for this reason. I’m not sure that can sustain that, and we can only get better and have been running out games really well.

    Improve our pressure, have more composure with the ball and take our chances and we win.

    Hands down the backline is keeping us in it. 
    If the midfield can lift and start to get some dominance in the contest we can win.

    • 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.
