Must have been 3rd. GWS heading back to Punt Rd end. Magner did a good job on the No. 1 P_ick.

    Grimes was the first to shake hands with Scully, and then had a longish chat. I saw about five players in all talk at length to him, but I did not see Trenners go to him which is interesting since Jack T was the one who most often was wheeled out in Scully's defence last year to talk about what a quality fella he is and how we all hoped when his decision came 'at the end of the year' he would stick.

    I did not think anyone showed disrespect to Junior. I even cheered when he ran down Jones in the first quarter. Sensational effort. And McLardy said at the prematch that he had told Junior he was welcome back any time he wanted and it was hoped he might come back in some coaching capacity.

    A thread about Sully who left our club for a deal of a life time & when our footy dpt was in a mess!

    Carrying about booing & how they booed... really cmon!

    I also was very angry when I left but understood why, remember we are not the only club that lost a star/potential

    Lets face it we beat an u19 team, lets not forget we are 1-10,

    This is life - if you make a decision that nets your father a paying job (oldest player on an AFL list BTW), and raises questions about your integrity with your insistence on the fact that you have not left the club as you boarded a flight to 'check the facilities' as it were - you are going to be ridiculed.

    He got booed. There were signs. There were kids with fake money.

    So what?

    He will be ridiculed for his actions for a few years yet and while I hope most of Demonland moves on, he deserves what he gets.

    I think it was when he tried to lay a shepherd after giving off a handball. Magner gave him a solid bump and he was winded and doubled over for a while...

    I watched the Sheedy presser after the game late last night and couldn't help thinking Junior felt a little uncomfortable as Sheedy spoke of Melbourne giving him the "sack" and Scully sacking Melbourne, regarding the jeers and cheers yesterday during the game.

    I'm hoping those at the club will get him back in some capacity. He's Melbourne and belongs among those to help rebuild our great club to where it aspires to be. The past FD are gone.

    Junior, do what you've got to do, then get back. And bring someone back with you....

    Does he actually live with the other players at Breakfast point? Wouldn't think he'd fit in very well.

    Junior KNOWS he is and will be welcome at anytime after his defection is over :)

    Junior didn't defect, we gave him the boot. We are the villains in that story, and I for one would be happy to see him back in a coaching role when his time at GWS is done. If you saw the way the Melbourne boys reacted to him, he still has a lot of respect from them and it is a pity we threw him away when he still had so much to give.

    • 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.
