Gold Coast will officially be my most hated team. They are literally getting a premiership handed to them on a silver platter. If they don't win a flag within 4 years of being in the competition, it will be a miracle. They will be unstoppable for 5-6 years.

    Good Grief.

    That will get GC worried.

    Worst case of melodramatic overkill ever.

    i think two years of dismal performances is enough to qualify for a priority pick, three years is a tad too long. By the time your picks are having a real impact, you've been in the cellar for half a dozen years, that's a very long time when you think of sponsorships and memberships. Need to have that light at the end of the tunnel.

    Let's just be concerned about our list and what 'we' intend to do. We can't influence anything or be worried about what is happening outside of the Melbournefc.

    Build a strong list and put all the effort into what 'we' can influence. Ie. Better resources, facilities and player development.

    The debacle with the Gold Coast situation is the main reason I am happy with our to decision to 'experiment' in the later rounds.

    So what if we lose to also-rans Richmond and Nth Melb? We're mugs if we don't get a priority pick this year, especially when GC will be handed an equivalent of 20+ 1st round players over the next two drafts...

    btw, the PP 'is' the no 1 pick...

    • 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.
