There won't be if the Lions win by 6

(Goals).

lol, very nice.

There's nothing wrong with anticipating one thing and hoping for the other.

In fact as Melbourne supporters, I'd guess that we're all pretty familiar with this particular mindset.

    I feel much more comfortable as a Dees supporter when I'm expecting we lose.

    I'd like to see Viney run with Hanley. That will be a big test as Hanley doesn't stop running.

    Also, Vince to Rockliff. Cross to Beams.

    I don't think Jack made him cry, I think it was something else he wanted to do to Jack!

    Rockliff had 14 touches. For some perspective, that's his lowest possession tally since Round 9 2011 where he also had 14. Round 6 2010 was the last time he had less. Not only did Viney negate his impact, he was able to get 23 touches himself. We're not talking about a Simon Godfrey tagger here, we're talking about one that do damage the other way. I'd be shocked if he didn't get maximum votes in the Coaches award.

    These midfield guns should be thinking if we can't beat him (Viney), maybe we should join him!

    Also if we could get a gif of Gawn flattening Robinson and have it on a continual loop, pinned to the top of the boards, that would be swell!

    I think demonology normally post links to youtube uploads on their videos page.

    Opposition midfielders would see him running up to them before the bounce and be like 'oh no, please God, not this little bastard'

    and don't we love him for it

    What stage of the game was it? I might have to go searching on the smart replay

    Replays can be found in Bigpond's AFL videos. The replay usually stays up for a few days after the match.

    I didn't include the Port Adelaide game as he started sub. Sorry if it looks a little out of whack. Pretty much has broke even or beaten his opponent.

    He's kept some known accumulators down to very low possession counts. I wonder if they are season lows in most instances.

  • Quote

    Turning into a gun of a footballer. I really like the unsociable side to his game - heckling Williams and Swan with a minute or so left in the game. He's really doing his bit in turning the club's 'soft' culture from earlier years around.

  • Quote

    I need to see it again but it looked as if he had connected with marley today he might be having a couple week spell.

    Could he be in trouble with the sling tackle?

    I don't think so. Pendlebury got up and kept playing. Had he been concussed, then Jack would be looking at weeks for sure.

    • 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.
