Grimes is going to need to make a fair few phone calls this week

He'd be better off to wait another fortnight.... then he'll be able to ring all the remaining supporters in an hour

On the day of my son's birth, almost 10 years ago, I rang the MFC and joined him up. First thing I did, before I rang mates and family. I dreamt of winters going to the 'G' with my Dad and my son, cheering our team on, enjoying the games together. This is what I get. Our loyalty means nothing to the club. They look like a club, talk like a club, but in the end, they are a football team and their job is to win games, or at least show us something. I can't allow my son to follow this bunch of losers, it's such a bad example in life, no effort, no improvement, no commitment, no passion, no heart, not one thing about the team or the club we can be proud of. His little mate barracks for Geelong. If we follow them, at least I can show him Joel Selwood, and how he goes about the game.

 

Jack Grimes once again stood up and put his body on the line for the MFC with a couragous mark and goal after being crucnhed and earning a 50 metre penalty.

I feel bad for him, the guy gives his all and bleeds for the MFC and is let down every time by the usual showboating fairy losers named Jamar and Sylvia.

  • 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.
