Chris Connolly was on the TAC show today and mentioned that tomorrow's game will be the first time these four will have played with each other. This sort of crept up without much discussion but whether we win or lose it's going to be great watching this quintessential quartet develop together. What's so great about them is that each one is completely different and their strengths compliment each other, throw Grimes in as well and you have the basis of a great midfield for over a decade.

Exciting times!!

    Some chance of the rainman consecutive numbers 1-10 playing this week.

    We've been close recently.

    he also talked about jack fitzpatrick and said he will be a champion of the club.

    lets hope so!!

    Yeah, heard that as well. Interesting that he highlighted a kid who is currently learning his craft for Casey 2nd's, the FD must really rate him.

    His comments about Watts was also interesting. Basically he was asked how Watts' attitude with training compared to Scully and Trengove and he replied that he is learning how to train hard. He then went on to say that it was hard to compare him to those two because their attitude is exceptional and they're pretty much already leaders around the club, they want to win a premiership and they won't except anything but the best from the other players.

    The Fitzpatrick comment was interesting.

    He was super confident making that statement.

    Would be good if it comes true.

    Big call if you ask me.

    His kicking is very suspect IMO, particularly if he is to become a forward.

    I love that they're so confident on Fitzpatrick. If he can get himself up to the right level of fitness and strength then he will be a huge asset to the club.

    Watch for somebody to think that means "Jack Watts' attitude is terrible and he has no leadership ability around the club, he doesn't want to win a premiership and is happy to accept anything from other players."

    What I'd like to see today is for Dees to show as much faith in their young players as Richmond, Freo & Essendon have and have at least 3 of these 4 on the ball at all times during the game. No chance of it happening, but I'd like to see it.

    • 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

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
