    What happened to our forward press? It used to be impenetrable. Now teams go coast to coast with ease. Are we unfit or not coached enough on positioning?

    Onfield leadership and fitness have killed this part of our game. No Brayshaw, and Bowey and Salem constantly injured has really hurt. 
    We're also playing Langdon up the ground so he can't get back in time to provide an additional number.

    Ahh this inaccuracy is doing my head in.


    Good kicking is good footy

    When, oh when (Delilah), will we ever kick straight again (insert Angels’ eponymous chant)

    They might be trying for more forward, momentum from Monners?

    Possibly.  In that case make it McVee.

    Tommo is the wrong option imo regardless

    Why is May playing behind Hipwood 80m from the ball? He has no chance to impact that contest on a normal sized player let alone someone with Hipwood's height. Dreadful defending, but of course letting them waltz out of the middle doesn't help.

    Hipwood looks like someone drew Rafael Nadal from memory.

    is the sporting globe shut?

    The sporting globe in Richmond was getting refurbished a month ago. Was closed, I even looked on their website before I went, and there was no indication. Ended up going to"the spread eagle", 372 Bridge Rd, upstairs, asked for some volume and they turned up the sound.

    Oh My God. 

    I always think to myself (what a wonderful world), does our club call our bad - and I mean really bad, totally inept - umpiring to the relevant people in the AFL. Or do we shrug our shoulders. 


    From the AFL match website

    Since Round 12, the Demons have posted a shot at goal accuracy of 42.1% – ranked last. They have conceded a shot at goal accuracy of 63.0% – ranked last. Tonight they have a shot at goal accuracy of 17%.

    • 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.
