Ridiculous umpiring so far....Rioli tripped into the defender for the first free kick and goal.

Then Rozee was tackled to the ground after running 15 metres and was NOT penalised for holding the ball!

    The Power went forward to JHF and took a kick that we’ve been programmed not to take. Kicking to 40-50 metres out towards the middle. We go to the pocket every time because it’s easier to defend from that position.

    Our inaccuracy isn’t an accident.

    you'd worry about the home town umpiring if your were a Giant. Greene was nearly choked in that tackle. obvious head high. free all day long. not given

    Under what rule was that a free to Rioli?

    The home town umpiring is embarrassing 

    as usual the fools on the mic say nothing

    I'm going to sound like a broken record. This is also a rhetorical question. Why didn't we pick up Jesse Hogan when Freo wanted to ditch him? He's exactly what we need!

    Jesse Hogan looks on tonight. a couple of excellent contested marks and slotted his set shot well

    Good god I wish we still had Jesse. Like yearning for an ex girlfriend...

    Nah, that never works.

    Toby Greene is my favourite non-mfc player

    The way Daisy explained his reading of the play hit the nail on the head.

    Such creative forward craft... unpredictable for defenders...and something that Melbourne never seems capable of is that his teammates read his movements.

    I wish we still had Jesse but we probably don't win in 2021 without Steven May in defence. 

    Sliding doors.

    • 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.
