As opposed to all the other weeks, that have been kind? Most of the time the week after we play anywhere is unkind. We lose so often that it's impossible to say if Darwin is a factor or not.

That's true but why leave anything to chance?

Now that we're literally in bed with the AFL it shouldn't be too hard for us to request demand that our Darwin fixture be played in the week before our midseason bye to ensure that we get the desired rest anyway.

Incidentally, that's exactly what happened with the Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide game in round 10.

 

I can only hope that the idea was actually raised by Jackson . i.e Darwin then our bye. Wouldnt think it asking for the world.

Anyone got a seating plan for the game. With the top level closed, have they altered G.A seating?
 

Terlich out, Tapscott in. Kent sub.

Been calling for Tapscott behind the footy for weeks. Let's see how we goes!

Injured/rested?

It's stated on the AFL site as being 'quad', but who knows.

Big game for Tapscott. Must show something.

I wonder if the dry weather and quick game can get some spark about him. I've been a big fan of his potential but when I watch him I see a player who looks as if he is treading water. May need to lose a few kgsover summer, add some dash.

Does anyone think we can stretch them up forward today? Watts Dawes fitzy and Howe in the dry weather, could be a strength to keep us in it similar to the Sydney game, that is make our forward entries count.
 

Pedersen didn't push back hard off the mark, then kicked off one step, straight into the man on the mark.

Ffs.

Well he was recruited from the VFL.

Max is getting an absolute bath. Goldstein having a field day.


5 shots to 1. If Scott wishes to keep his job into next year we will get pumped today on Noughts home ground.

If we do get pumped Craig can forget the senior position.


This is dross. Transition from defense looks staggered and uncertain. Just can't get it inside 50.

  • 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.
