Pretty good without dominating

His best work has been in link up play between the arcs where he has found space and used the footy well in transition

Had 2 shots on goal in the first quarter, one long bomb from 55 and a second from a set shot inside 50 where he missed both

Has played pretty much exclusively as an inside mid from what I can tell but you miss stuff with the dodgy camera work

A few too many quick kicks. 
He has the ability to break tackles - just needs to try it.

Verral has no physical presence 

Yeah I've been a pretty staunch supporter but he's heading towards delist material. 

3rd year in the system and hasn't shown any improvement at all. As you say, for such a big guy he does lack that physical presence.

Sure you weren’t looking at Lewis?

With that many talls they should be raffling it. Too often players are not minding their opposition - no care for their teammates. 

 

Jeeesus the skill level from our MFC players in Brown and Campbell have been atrocious so far in this last quarter.

I don't get to training so I can't comment but on bigfooty a regular Melbourne supporter who attends said in all the pressure season training he went to, goalkicking practice was completely non existent. 

Yes, the player do it on their own spare time after training but from he was saying there is a no structured training in place for this.

Get this Daz.. I was the goalkicking coach for De.La Salle and Old Melbourne grammarians after I retired and both won flags when I was there. My phys ed background worked a treat! It needs a regimented structured approach, but I reckon my methods weren't that hard to master!

Lovely work from Langers there

Let me save you the heartache, Verral will not make it. I’ve got more of a chance of making it………….

…………….now wait for him to set the world on fire in 3…..2…….1……

Baldi & Yze having an impact in this last Q

 

That score pretty much sums up the one v one today

Scores are officially nice.

Meanwhile, these commentators are reminding me of when I discovered that Robbocoholic becomes bearable if you speed up the audio to 1.5x. I think 1.25 would do for this pair.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
