Have great memories of Ballyshannassy Park, playing Gridiron as an 18 y.o and nearly getting killed every week 😄

    My main concern for the game is how well Max recovers from watching the Giro D'Italia final competitive stage last night.

    Plus there's the let-down of commuting through the dreary 'sameness without theme' of an Australian city after watching the landscape of Northern Italy go past for five hours.

    Hopefully it manifests in anger. A real 'I will create something beautiful today and nothing will stop me' moment.

    Great article by Langdon, who praises Goody and the Club Culture, for putting players’ welfare first, as evidenced by him being allowed to miss the Eagles game to attend his sister’s wedding in London.

    He said the club was a great place to be and play football with as they really cared about their players.

    That is a fantastic advertisement for any player thinking of moving clubs.

    I read that same article and thought similar 

    a really great advert for the playing group and their “culture “

    Pretty ordinary behaviour by Dogs fans booing Lobb.

    It could put off other players from going there and staying there.

    On a different note, remember when decimate meant to destroy one tenth? I'm no good at calculating percentages but the evolution of decimate to mean largely destroy does my head in...

    Thank you, DP. You are not alone.

    • 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.
