    Weather update in Melbourne?

     

    50 point win today... hope it is stress free.

    May be the only big win we get for a few weeks so I look forward to enjoying it


    Can't get to this one; v disappointed.  Go JV and Da Boys.  Play like your spot depends on it.

     

     

    We win the ones we should these days,  so expecting that we control most of  the game today.

    I hate Carlton.  The Curnow boys missing is huge though, and takes out their second best mid and their best forward to this point of the year.

    They'll be up and about early, especially after their win last week, so it's up to us to weather the early storm and play the game on our terms.  Do that and we win comfortably.

    I'm glad Viney is playing. I finally get to wear my creepy hunchback Viney socks

    Demons by 10 goals plus.

    Should be a totally one sided match. Viney back and the reserves putting heaps of pressure on the boys to perform, coupled with Carltanks outs have me supremely confident.

    No nerves at all this week, just like last week.

    :)

    Wet. Slippery. Messy football kind of day. I'm not used to this "expecting to win" thing...

    why am i always a nervous wreck before the games now that there's an expectation that we will win?

    life was much easier when we were in the doldrums

    I’ve noticed the same thing. The expectation pre-match makes me feel sick, but I embrace it. It’s still better than that overarching sense of impending doom.

    I also found it really difficult watching to the end of the Hawks and Tiges games when we were playing poo. In the past I’d always watched to the end looking for some morsel of things to take out of the game, but when you know one or two minor acts aren’t going to cut for taking the edge off the smashing, that was really hard to take.

    • 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.
