You do realise the team you've quoted is one that he has 'made up' on the Monday, yeah?

Nope ?

    Reality is I do pick the team Goody's right hand man I am.

    The club should scrap the official Team of the Century from a few years back and get you to redo it, WD.

    I want to see the REAL team.

    I would like to see Stretch played in the back half for at least a half each week to see if he can develop into a Vince style role. Not sure he has the necessary instinctive smarts to replace Lewis in time but that is also a possibility.

    Also not sure that the midfield role is the place to develop decision making skills that carry through to the seniors. Thinking JKH here and worried that Billy is going the same way.

    Billy has this year and probably next to break into the senior side......... I'm sure everyone here wants to see him given every chance.

    I'll let KC put up the team, but the side has included King and Tyson.

    I think M.Lewis and Lok should hold their spots due to the possibility of Garlett and Pedo going up to the NT.

    Hutchins still out.

    Quigley the 23rd man.

    Hutchins is listed as full back for Mansfield in the GVFL

    I worry that while billy is a muscular young man, he seems too small for a halfback spot. Aerial flankers will make short work of him and I just don’t see that as a fit

    you could be right.. I was thinking of him in the Bernie Vince role but I see Billy is 180cm compared to 186cm for Bernie. Not much difference really (2.3 inches) but maybe enough to make it a difficult proposition.

    A dominant performance from Jeff Garlett would be nice.

    I assume he will be in NT with Pedersen. Not sure if Tyson and Hunt will be at Port either.

    Perhaps Drunk'n or KC can help us out.

    Hunt will be at Port and I'm thinking that Tyson will be too - the latter needs the game time. Hasn't played for two weeks now...

    Does this mean that the song gets played twice at the start of the game? Once for each team?

    Is Kieran Byers the son of former Demon, Garry?

    I wouldn't think so Jim, Garry Byers is 80 years old

    • 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.
