Melbourne FC - Didn't look injured!

i don't know what it was, but we seemed to move easier, tackle harder and ran more freely. robbo seemed to move as crisply as ever, davey seemed to have regained toe, pickett showed he still has something to offer. didn't seem like the same melbourne team of the previous 4 weeks

    Not wanting to detract too much from the win, but we were playing a team devoid of any confidence. Other than a lucky draw the previous week, they had been getting smashed themselves. If Freo are still rolling when we meet them over there rnd 21, that is when i want to see the Demons stand up and show a bit of ticker, and not just fold in the first quarter like we have done too many times on the road over the last few seasons. Only then will i feel like we are turning the corner.

    also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

    Brown - desperation was contagious

    Carroll - little to do

    Ferguson - courageous but limited

    Bell - exciting but loose

    Wheatley - handled tough tasks

    Bode - little to excite

    Moloney - had no impact

    Mcdonald - useful as always

    Johnstone - hasn't lost magic

    Pickett - aggression set tone

    Davey - loved the freedom

    Green - wonderful all night

    Dunn - had limited impact

    Robertson - license to roam

    Neitz - struggling to survive

    Jamar - still just plodded

    White - had little opposition

    Jones - fantastic first half

    Sylvia - some individual cameos

    Frawley - was well beaten

    Newton - no second efforts

    Holland - who'd have thought ?

    What newspaper did you watch the game in?

    What a waste of 88 words.

    Our team played with confidence. The first bump by Bell on Aker was inspirational. Sometimes it works. I don't know what it is either but I'll take it.

    JoeBoy - keep it up. If nothing it divides opinion and creates debate. FYI - Bell was magnificent and tight.

    Well said! I think several players may have extended their careers over the last few weeks as well. Dutchyand Brown have been very good for us and must be retained.

    Robbo was lucky he reckless foray into the centre did not land him a suspension. If his hip and shoulder had've connect with the Bulldog's player head it could have been sickening all round.

    I agree with you. Dutchy and Browny receive so little credit for the way they played. Its mystifying how people lauded so so players like Pickett and Ferguson.

    Dutchy should get another year.

    I think you will find Doggy will retire at year end.

    also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

    That statement alone should be the trigger for asking serious questions about some of the commitment and questionable future of some players on our list.

    I'm only asking for you to reveal the quality of your undoubtedly 'brilliant football mind ' for all the world to appreciate .

    Don't make such flippant put downs without having the guts to give us all just a glimpse of how insightful you really are and how markedly different your opinions are to mine - but restrict yourself to 3 words .

    I'm sorry if you took offence at my original post Joeboy. But if you are going to be offended with every poster who didn't agree with your gonna be typing for a long time. Lighten up. I thought there were other posters who were more critical of your analisys than me by the way. But I suppose you just decided to have a go at me. I look forward to reading your report next week. I love a good laugh. Oh by the way, i've put in the ones I didn't agree with. Enjoy!

    Bell: Keeps on improving

    Bode: Good solid start

    Dunn: Found his position

    Neitz: Sacrificed own game

    Frawley: Injured too early

    Newton: Great early tackle

    Sylvia: Wasting natural ability

    • 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.
