Looking forward to seeing the match at Coburg next Sunday hopefully after a great win at the G on Sunday.

MFC members get in for $5 and it's a lovely old ground.

    In writing this keep in mind I don’t have an eye for the defensive side of the game so a player I think has done very well might have played his role poorly.  Also the opposition was poor.  At times they had a go but really it was a bit like watching the first quarter of the MFC v Saints JLT game.  We played well and dominated and in those circumstances it’s hard to know if the domination is us or them but I was impressed by the general skill level, the commitment and particularly the cohesion of the team play.

    Thanks Voges for the reports.  enjoyable reading.

    Its always good to get others insights, especially when I can't get to games.

    Is there a chance we will never see McKenna play at any level this year? Also I think Vandenburgs time is up which is a pity as I loved watching him play.

    Not yet, He's just got himself back into running outside this week, I think, first in a long time.

    He's had a stress fracture of the Heel.

    Not normally a career-ender, IMO.

    Koby Stevens had this as well back in July 2015, whilst at the Bulldogs.

    I had a chat to Pat at training, was sent to see a hammy specialist in Canberra, back running so now his pre season starts, so 8 to 10 weeks

    Of course like Viney and Tommy Mc one step at a time, has been kept busy by the club

    The coaching staff rate him, just needs to get on the park

    Hopes vanders can get back, I remember one of the early games he played as a mid against the Bulldogs he dominated. Still has a fair bit to offer if he could get himself right.

    Frost surely has to come back in next week, if we play 1 on 1 with Ben Brown our holes will become very enlarged.

    Have to play with a spare a defender against the Roos, the guy has plenty of run and dare.

    So true

    Frost has a role to play in our best 22, when we are playing forward lines that hurt us. We can then use lever as the 3rd tall and play his natural role.

    Looks like we will have Frosty back to play on Ben Brown...........

    Why do people think Frosty will be back to play on Ben Brown.

    Frosty is not a good body on body player and pretty average in the air.

    not to play on Ben Brown specifically but to help out and create some run and overlap we look so slow and ball movement is lethargic.

    We need Frost next week, so Omac can take Brown, Frost to Waite. Lever chipping in.

    But the biggest job will be done by our mids, defensively; and the half forwards.

    Once again the VFL scheduling leaves a lot to be desired.

    With 4 emergencies being required in Brisbane, senior players will wait yet another week for some match practice. It could have been played on Sunday or even Monday.

    Would love to hear how the VFL schedule is integrated into the senior schedule if at all.

    VFL is really a pathetic parody of a “support” competition 

    As #32 Vagg said, it is seriously important for the AFL to get off their backsides and start a reserves competition.

    What a horrible prospect ?

    And we could easily lose too.

    Will next week's team be this:

    B: PETTY, HUTCHINS, WHITE

    HB: J.WAGNER, KEILTY, J.SMITH

    C: C.WAGNER, MAYNARD, STRETCH

    HF: BALIC, T.SMITH, BUGG

    F: SCOTT, WEIDEMAN, LEFAU

    FOLL: KING, SALEM, KENNEDY HARRIS

    IC: GENT, MUNRO, BAKER, SPARGO, UNDER 21 PLAYER

    • 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.
