We are just so lazy and sloppy at times.

Eagles are not a good team.

And yet here we are losing.

    So Gawn marks. We control the footy about 75 out.

    Instead of calmly waiting for a short option or a lead he quickly turns and rolls around on his right kicking it to no one!

    They gather the spill, cough it up, we cough it up even worse with more panic and worse skills than them (if you can believe it) they then just put speed of foot on the ball and kick and easy joe - the - goose (sort of).

    Our transition into ourvfwd line in the first was fast and direct.

    That quarter was just indecisive and slow and into a quagmire.

    So true. What happened a quarter time.
     

    Maybe it's one of those scoring end games.

    We chose Kolt ahead of Darcy Wilson. Too early to call but the Kolt has been very disappointing tonight.

    I remember on draft night the AFL site didn't even have a pic of Kolt on his draft profile. I sense Taylor got a bit ahead of himself that night.

    Whatever the result of this game, it's just horrible football.

    Only re emphasizes the shortsightedness of selecting only one tall forward.

    Losing this at selection - again.

    EDIT: Even worse now that our tall defender Turner has to play ruck.

    • 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.
