If it was within the first 5-10 mins on the clubroom wing then it was Aussie, was almost right in front of where I was sitting having a beer. The handball was not quite right and turned over but the pick up and turn was great to see.

No the Aussie incident was in a similar spot less than 5 minutes later.

    There's an easy way to resolve the impasse. RudeBoy, who is Liam's mentor and friend and who has posted here about him, would have been at the game watching intently. I'll defer to his judgement on the issue.

    Guilty as charged your honour. It was Liam. I was pretty happy with his game, it being his first hit out since arriving at the Dees in early January. Back home he's generally the full forward and is used to everyone looking for him. It will no doubt take him some time to get used to being the 3rd target. The upside to LJ is enormous, but a bit of patience will be required.

    Thanks RudeBoy. I'll accept the verdict and visit my optometrist in the morning.

    It was a sensational piece of play!

    Thanks RudeBoy. I am happy to be patient with LJ and allow him time to adjust, but that one little piece of magic was worth the drive out to Casey to watch the game.

    • 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.
