One of the lighter bodied talls because they usually don't do well in the wet.

Id list these as out talls.

Hogan, Watts, Dawes, Gawn, Tmac, Omac, Frost.

who would Spencer replace, the lighter frames I'd say are Omac and Watts, possibly Frost. Spencer is not going to play key defence so that rules out Frost and Omac which leaves watts...

You would swap Spencer for Watts?

    I'd have Hogan as the CHF, his more natural position. Weed at FF, Watts is too valuable to be stuck deep forward so have him on a high roaming flank, Hulett as a FP maybe?

     

    Petracca               Hogan          Watts

    Garlett/Kennedy    Weed          Hulett

     

    It is very tall

    No. I didn't say that.

    It's not slow though. I was going to initially put Hogan at CHF. I actually now think I'd have Kent at HFF with Watts on a wing.

    Whats that got to do with the Casey VFL Match?

    I'd be reasonably happy if they just wrote Gus off this year and made sure he was super-fit and ready for next.  We're not feeling the loss too badly so no need to rush with him.  He's only in his second year.  Plenty more to come if we manage him well now.

    That goal was pretty special.  He still has injury and fitness issues, but if they get them sorted out he's going to be a great addition to their side.

    That's two huge games from Spencer and Matt Jones in a row now, gotta be knocking loudly on the selection door.

    Today I would say the same. Tomorrow, after knocking the Swannies off, and with a spring in my step, I say get him back.;)

    Fair point.

    He looked a bit overweight for me personally. Saw bits of the game but not all of it.

    Matt Jones was shocking against Collingwood last week.

    Yeah, but who actually wants them in the team ?

    It's good to have pressure from below though.

    Great win from the boys! It's a pity that Garlett doesn't seem to have got much form back though.

    On Hulett - does he do any ruck work?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
