Lever injured?

Getting pretty much nothing from our forwards, and moving the ball sloppily from defence. We do look tired, as you'd expect.

    Lets face it.
    We're going about as good as the umpires right now.

    I don't think there was any reason not to see out the quarter without conceding. Why did Rivers go inboard?

    5 days break will do that to you

    the boys needed to sharpen up otherwise we're in trouble


    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Rivers first quarter kicking again. Grrr.

    Flat game of footy without lots of intensity. 

    We usually play and score so well from a halfback turnovers, but we can't seem to get it past the wing.

    Choppy game so far, I think we’ll be ok when it settles. Crows getting away with a fair few throws, drops, arm chops - looks like they’re getting unco allowance.

    Poor kicking performance so far from Riv. Turned it over with his last 3 kicks.

    Noise of affirmation working well

    Completely outcoached and outplayed that quarter

    Lucky they didn't kick straight

    Adelaide play a chip game.... you win 70 metres out from their goal and rebound

    Getting smashed in the middle and our foot skills have been bad. 

    Hopefully we’re saving the energy for.. . Well, from now because we can’t afford them entering the 50 like that all game, eventually they’ll improve conversion.

    • 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.
