WOW!  No way Lever would stay at Crows after that.

Not happy campers going into the GF. 

That mood may have contributed to the reported infighting during the second quarter and their lack of effort.

Shame the team didn't play as well as Lever did - they might have a Premiership Cup.

If reports are believed, they began to turn on each other at half time. This team had a pre game segment about how open they're to each other and how no team is as close. [censored] joke, you stick by your teammates to the end.

    The recently retired former Demon and Crow Scott Thompson would like to say "hello" to everybody.

    I already posted that WJ, but good to see we think alike.

    TMac will surely play the Watts role, which both terrifies and excites me.

    I actually reckon he will play more of a traditional full forward, leading out of the goal square, using his strong marking ability. Hogan to play the Watts role further up the ground. Realistically they could both play each role at various times though, particularly given both have a good tank.

    I know one bloke that will be terrified, a big full forward that has a player that can hit him lace out going to a bloke that can't hit a target except if he is kicking a goal

    2 x A grade midfielders.

    Hope everybody else plays a role on the day.

    Jed sounded pretty reasonable.... from our side anyway. But I can imagine the day when a hogan or petracca or Oliver walks and we will all be wanting overs. Its the way the game is evolving isnt it.

    I do Feel [censored] off that Jake was attacked by Burton and Walker tho. Unfortunately all that does, in this day and age, is make Adelaide a less attractive destination for interstate players and turn them into utter hyprocrits the next time someone comes their way. Hoping none of it impacts Jake too badly and he's welcomed into our team , as it seems like he's been super upfront about things w everyone.

    I would be horrified if the Melbourne footy club handled a situation like this with as little class and as much bitterness as the crows have. 

    I view it as being extremely unprofessional. You’d have to think Bryce Gibbs would think twice about going there if this is how they treat their players.

    I'd advise you not to look in the Jack Watts thread....

    Ignore all the $amounts being bandied about MFC have adopted the Geelong model on pay

    With Lever choosing Melbourne as his destination Club, the rolling effect this (in my opinion) will have on us as a really strong choice is stark. The last two Premiership Teams had outstanding performers in their teams on the Day that were acquired the same year.

    If the Cat model is basically about equality or not these movements are really working for us now.

    Surely there is a conflict of interest in poaching his current clients to his new club.

    He won't be involved in anything at Collingwood until after this trade period. Guy has already said Lever is at the MFC. Not too much to worry about.

    And he said top ten draft picks should stay 4 years minimum, to avert the Lever drama.

    Lever was pick 14 Derwayne.

    • 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?
