...I just want this season to end and the next pre-season to start so I can once again convince myself that we'll be better next year?

    Paul Roos has said as much. Unfortunately the draft and trade period are the best times to be a Melbourne supporter.

    Ah, renewed false hope...

    Btw, is it an amazing coincidence that I misspelled false and autocorrect offered me "Cale"?

    True story.

    True story.

    Pick 88?

    We've had plenty of draft picks exceed expectations. Bale, McDonald, Jetta. All low picks who are doing ok. IF only we could say the same about our first round picks.

    I am usually a glass half full MFC supporter, but I don't expect much improvement next year.

    The loss of Frawley will hurt.

    GWS and GC will improve, Brisbane appearing on the up, inclusion of Rich will help to.

    MFC will tail out with St Kilda, painful times ahead IMO.

    I'm sorry, but apart from the odd goal here and there, Chip will not be missed. The top 5 pick however won't hurt us.

    Happy in October, depressed in March.

    You think we'd be used to it by now.

    I turn on my own team as quick as they turn on themselves!

    I feel like I 'm turning into a richmond supporter.

    But I think the 400 odd a year I pay gives me the right to be [censored], when "professional" players can 't handball two metres or kick a goal from 17 metres out!

    Sad but the happiest time for Melbourne supporters is after the end of the home and away games, anticipation and optimism generated by the draft (and list clean out) through to new recruits joining pre-season training and into practice matches, after that its normally been all down hill until the end of the home and away games again where we rinse and repeat.

    • 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.
