Did Marlion hit him in the guts or the hand?

Guts

 

Would love to see Cripps get called for throwing as much as Oliver.

On the plus side Clarry's hand and touch looking much better.

Yep, he’s been very sharp early.

He’s a much better version when the hands are firing

    Need more from our mids. Trac has started poorly, a couple of poor turn overs from Oliver too.

    Do we look as putrid on telly as we do at the ground. Where is our pressure? Our skills? 

    Petracca is having another mere, very ordinary season so far.

    Why? We have midfield names that should strike fear. Instead we're constantly on the defensive. I think it's part of the gameplan but it's garbage and will fail in finals again.

    You gotta ride the waves of the game. We will win by 40+. Tigers giving it everything after being embarrassed

    Very much so.  Quite common after a buy early on but the question is can they clean things up AND get some run and finish happening.

    I think Oliver's hand is not fully healed yet. You can see he is not as clean on ground ball gets.

    Needs to lift. Should kick but handballs too players under pressure. Too soft in the contest right now. Needs 240 volts.  

    I know it's early and we've missed a few but we have to be better than this. That unpressured kick from Viney straight to a tigers player was strange. We seen to be making quite a few unforced errors. Our backline as usual has been good but it's our midfielders not dominating again. We look lacking in confidence and intensity somewhat.

    Marlon Pickett is a criminal and shouldn't be allowed an AFL contract. Literal convicted criminal.

    And currently on bail for serious offences. 

    Lot of decent first efforts but then we have a lil rest and they sprint forward.

    I would really love if we could string together some chains and lift the level of footy, because it's not that enjoyable watching us butchering the ball against a weak side.

    Pulling out of marking contests, not sticking tackles, thought I caught a glimpse of him on the bench with trainers/doctors inspecting his hand


    These skills are simply putrid

    • 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.
