Sydney have this tradition of applauding every time one of their debutantes gets a possession. I like it. I don't know how long they've been doing it, but it's great reinforcement and a nice touch.

    Great news! And to think all the rookie list players have all debuted except King.

    This is a major testimont to Jason Taylor and his crew!

    I hope he hasn't just been selected based on the colour of his name.

    I noticed Freo doing it as well last week each time Langdon got the ball

    All first year players other than Petracca.

    Or a further kick in the nuts to our previous recruitement.

    Actually, I think I might be confusing Sydney with Freo.

    That'll do for a start!

    Hope he's as good as the last White that played for Dees, or better still as good as the last Wight to play for the Dees

    Terlich. Thank god.

    So that three year deal was a winner then?

    I like what I've seen of this kid so far. Something about him has me excited. Captain and best and fairest winner at the stingrays last year. Of course, has a long way to go but if he can make the grade, he and Salem coming off the back flanks for the next decade will be fantastic! Some run, aggression and bullet kicking! Let's hope! I wish him all the best this weekend

    Would go down as easily one of the worst contracts in AFL history. Horrible deal.

    Contests hard and has a lovely left foot.

    That's all I've ever dreamt of. Sounds like a Hawks player.

    Good luck young blood.

    'A long raking left foot kick'. Us oldies will immediately think of the great Stuart Spencer. Sorry, I'm salivating at the thought. But don't get too excited by this post. I reckoned Sam Blease could be our new Bluey Adams but sadly was very wrong. It would be good though to get one out of two right. Here's hoping. Good luck to Mitch.

    Sean Wight was a very underrated player - probably played in the shadow of the great Jimmy, but he was a superb, athletic defender - very attacking and fantastic to watch.

    Well done Mitch. From all reports you have earned the elevation. May you continue the long run of former rookies who have prospered as a Demon.

    Not as excited as me!

    Ok I have rated this bloke for a long while

    Without wishing to put the mozz on

    1 He has a cool head

    2 Silky smooth left footer

    3 Plays taller than is

    4 Shows no fear

    5 Has run and carry

    6 Reads play exceptionally well

    7 Loves sneaking forward to snare a goal!

    Start salivating!

    Wait a minute , Bobby!

    I'm pretty sure Stuart was a right footer!

    Long, raking drop kicks...and stab passes...yes! But not out of the backline..... wasn't he a rover/forward?

    He also was able to take a hanger... I think he took the first hanger I ever saw.

    I'm trying to think of a Demon left footer with long, raking kicks from the backline . Matthew Febey? Surely there are others! Help!!

    One of the finest moustaches the game has ever seen.

    • 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.
