Everything Brett Lovett touches turns to gold. This man must be a seriously good coach.

    But i thought everybody thought he was useless because he isn't dominating AFL as a 19 year old 196cm KP forward?

    That is why i don't listen to everybody. I see us with plenty of talls to develop in the next season or two. We need quality mids and 1 or 2 small forwards. We will turn this around fairly quickly I believe.

    Could not agree more with this comment. "like" doesn't do it justice.

    He did play and looked ok coming off the ground.

    Thanks KC good to hear he is on the way back.

    Also good to hear Cook is performing well.

    Amazing the impatience of supporters and the media. The whole Jack Watts criticising that has been a national sport over the last

    two years has been hysterical. And yet over the past week I've heard Dermott Brereton respond to criticism of Ryan Schoenmakers

    by saying "Hes just a kid let him develop" on SEN, and then this morning Robert Walls defend Lachlan Henderson by saying 'Hes only

    a very young kid" in defence of his lack of output. These two are 22 and 23 respectively. Watts is 21. Its great to hear the Cook is

    starting to show some of the ability that meant we used pick 12 on him..Lets keep nurturing him, let him develop at a natural rate and when

    he's ready reward him with a senior game...

    does this mean we have another half back floater?

    Don't. Just don't..

    Thanks for the updates.

    I am glad that Martin seems to be back in the mix, and especially that Cook is making good headway.

    Would you see Cook as possibly being ready for a debut vs GW$, depending of course on the performances on Monday?

    But they aren't pick number 1's- they would probably say. Apparently if you get picked up at number 1- even though you have no say in that- you should be great from day dot. That's the way it works..

    Port Melb got beaten today. If the Scorps have a win they'll be equal on top with Port with a game in hand.

    Pies coming back with a couple of goals - lead down to 19 points at the 24 minute mark.

    After a very good first half Aaron Davey is off the ground and the Casey bench is one man short.

    Wasn't it mentioned in another thread that Davey has been named in the squad as a replacement for Bail who withdrew? Does playing today preclude him from selection on Monday?

    No. He can play Monday if selected.

    No. He can play Monday if selected.

    In which case, I guess we now know who our most probable sub is going to be.

    Goal on the siren after a strong mark by Tim Smith restores the lead to 19 points and breaks a run of four on the trot from the Pies.

    Casey lead 11.9.75 to Collingwood 8.8.56.

    Davey has been taken off to enable him to remain eligible for Monday's game if required as an emergency.

    • 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.
