    @Bobby Clark is this 'cause you rate him as a defender or because you're worried we will be in deficit of our quota of 'Jacks' on the list when Trengove is delisted at seasons end?

    Sounds suspiciously like a he-played-well-against-us pick.

    He is. His game against us on the weekend was the best of his career. He's pretty much Omac with 2-3 extra years in the system. He's average. Wouldn't bother with him unless it was for a 3rd or 4th round pick. He'll be out of there team when R Thompson comes back in to pair up with May again.

    He's not average. Yes he was good against us, but consider his game versus Oscars with those terrible dropped marks and I think he is an upgrade certainly over the next couple of years when hopefully we're contending.

    If Thompson comes back in even more reason to contact him and put in a good moneyball offer.

    Watch the game again Trav and you can see he's the sort of player we need for next year.

    He took some okay marks on okay opposition. 

    He would not have been able to do that against Jesse hogan

    Took a shovel load of intercepts marks against our star studded forward line and Dermie Brereton frothed over him, so yeah, why not...

    Says more about how dumb we were that with Watts as our key forward, we kept banging it in long for May and Leslie to clunk. Once we lowered our eyes the game changed.

    Of greater concern is the coaching that seems to allow it to go on unchallenged for a whole half of football Geesus!!!!

    Pederson should have been at CHF relief ruck, TMac at CHB relief Ruck, and JW relief ruck/forward again the  coaching in the first half looked to me to be half baked

    I'm not enamored with how we coach the starts to our game. 

    I used to think it was just the players taking a qtr or two to get with it. Now I'm not so sure.

    We need a lot of revision in this regard. Better teams are out coaching us. Goody is a noob but he's got the reins. He's not brand new to this but needs to get with it. Hopefully he'll hone this area. He seems up for changes.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
