I thought Max's performance today was incredible especially given the fact he had to contend with two oppo ruckmans who simply just played the man all day long and didnt contest the ball at all. It may have worked for Grundy last year but Maxy taught him a lesson today.

This is like pulling teeth. Finish off your work for once Melbourne.

No Vines is a right shame, must not have passed the latest concussion test.

Just a creative way of having a swipe at Andrews whilst praising Melkshams amazing game.

Also, Cop that Zorko you [censored]!!!!!!

That’s as loud as I’ve heard them sing the song since the flag, so proud of the boys.

Go have a sook Harris Andrews you absolute hack of a defender, Jake melksham is your father.

[censored] green incompetent corrupt maggots How were both of those not htb

Royal commission into interstate umpiring please

Contest and offence is alright, not amazing but alright, but gee our defence is horrendous. Cannot defend transition for the life of us.

Gee this reeks of a "famous eagles victory" You can just bank on Harley Reid playing his one good game for the year. Can only hope these thoughts are a mere flareup of my MFCSS and the boys bring the heat on saturday.

Also the debate is over, Max Gawn is the greatest ruckman to ever play the game.

Gee our last quarters leave a lot to be desired, would love to see us just smash a team in the last quarter for once. Don't think i'm off the reservation in saying that questions have to be asked about our fitness team. nonetheless, 4 points is 4 points.

Well that end soured an enjoyable night.

Put max back on now!!

great forward pressure from chin!!

Not sure harry sharp will be able to compete better than fullerton so lets not trigger the sub just yet. He just needs to get himself to the front of the contest which is what he did last week, not sure why he is playing behind his direct opponent.

Seriously, did a bunch of melbourne supporters bully umpire 22 growing up, that guy hates us like we've run over his dog??

Maggots wearing Richmond jumpers

Over officiated game, doesn’t bode well.

Taranto should be fined for that, absolute BS

I think Jonesy and the midfield crew need some praise, 20 - 11 in centre clearances today and 18-22 in the stoppage clearances. Last year and for the first couple of rounds it felt like we couldnt buy a centre clearance so today's performance from a clearance perspective was great to see.

I know much has been made of our impotent forward half, but can we take a second to acknowledge how leaky and broken our defence has become, so far this season our opponent has an average final score of 100.3 Let that sink in, so far this season on average, we concede 100 points a game, that is mindboggling from a team that use to barely allow the opponent to get past 65. It doesn't matter if we fix everything up in the forward half if our defence continues to perform to such a poor standard.

Hard to see us winning a game this year playing like this.
