Agree. We will need the extra smarts out the back today, and a little X factor in the goal square.

    Chill. We are good. Our defence is elite. They have spent many tickets. We will be OK

    So much at stake. Need to win the football game, plain and simple.

    Salem has had our second most disposals and every one looked like he was panicking.

    People are bagging JJ but he is at least running hard and making position. 
     

    Blues have 8 of the top 10 possession getters.

    Sparrow has had 4 possessions and turned two over for a massive 28 meters gained, 1 tackle, JJ has 10, 60% eff, 2 tackles 150meters game but JJ is the problem here for some. 
     

    If we don’t lift intensity up quite a lot they will steam roll us in the second half.

    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    I don't think we're playing average. They are just all over it. We've taken our chances. They need to put us away.

    JJ has been much better than Sparrow who has 4 touches at 50% two turnovers, 1tackle 28 meters gained. I’d sub him before JJ.

    ANB could've gone deep to a contest then.  Instead tries to thread the needle through heavy traffic.  The distance was too far, inviting the intercept.

    Poor decision there from such an experienced player.  Turnover.... goal.

    That’s insulting to call that given what they didn’t call in the first half

    Sports entertainment these days.

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

    External review needed 

    I wonder if anyone has any connections to any big 4 consultancy firms who could readily assist? 🔎🔎🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️

    • 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.
