    Melbourne.

    WCE still have 3 out and out superstars in Kerr, Cox and Glass, and probably better under 21 talent as well.

    I got a feeling they have their eyes on this "superdraft" and a couple of WA boys namely Naitanui & Rich - dont be surprised if Kerr is traded and they try and load up on first round picks.

    They lack quality KPP and leadership at the moment but their list is a lot better then ours.

    I'd say WC are playing worse, but we are a worse team, based on our list compared to theirs.

    They'd beat us by 5-6 goals if we played them tomorrow, even based on current form.

    The eagles form is poor, but they have a much richer list than we do. They should be able to notch up wins against sides who travel to the west. WC will win at least 3-4 games more than we will this season.

    Port has bounced back, it looks like the dunce teams in the afl will be WC, Essendon,Carlton, Freo and of course, the mighty dees.

    Good news for us us we still get to play 4 of those 5 teams, we may just win a few (essendon have so many injuries that they should be considered a walk over).

    If i were an eagles fan i would have less to worry about than a dees fan.

    I'm young, but I've seen a lot of footy and we're playing the worst of any team I can recall ever seeing. Having said that I don't think we're too far away from turning it around. We have to remember that most teams go through a crap phase at some point, its part of the cycle. Hopefully all our crap years have come at once, so that we'll only spend 1 or 2 years more down the bottom before we return to finals footy. It happens to everyone, it just so happens that we're really, really bad at the moment.

    This team has gone from a premiership team to an ugly team.

    Carlton are just smashing them at the moment by 48 points.

    I turned it off, can't stand the Blues getting it this easy, and Darren Glass on Brendan Fevola what were they thinking?

    Pity we have to wait till rd 20 to face this rabble.

    Well, I tipped it to a bunch of my friends at the start of the year. I thought West Coast would be bad and Melbourne slightly better, but we're horrible and they're even worse. Wow. We have some stiff competition.

    As long as our spirit never drops to the level i just saw West Coast's in that quarter. WOW

    Even when they've played "well" this game, they've still looked slow and awkward

    im sick of umpires dictating games our game has become so soft

    eagles are terrible umpires have handed them atleast 4 gifts 0 m out tho

    I think they're after the Fijian

    Well I kept seeing a melbourne jumper on those west coast players, they looked horrible and make the same stupid mistakes we have been doing, but add in the players that they are missing and they would be a whole lot better, they are still rabble tonight, good thing is carltank will win again :)

    They are shocking, we are shocking. We will beat them here, they will beat us there. Who is the lesser side? No idea!

    didn't stevens hit someone in the face?

    What's weird is they are playing on Subi liked WE played on Subi last year. Less than twelve months ago actually.

    Crashing and burning in the AFL takes no time at all... building a side takes infinitely longer.

    I'm convinced, it's like watching Melbourne play

    I didn't think I was being that cyrptic. I was suggesting that WC may be tanking to finish below us so they can get him

    • 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.
