Because the AFL are always looking to promote their two start ups wherever possible.

Andy if you are still grumpy just grab a few highlights from previous 6 weeks and enjoy again mate.

    How can any demon supporter be grumpy today with the news of TMac re-signing!

    I've turned that frown upside down since then but now you have just reminded me about Jesse and I'm grumpy again.

    Don't get me started on Nic Nat getting the Ruck gig ahead of Maxy in the AFL Team of the Week.

    Too bad he missed that goal after the siren , would have finished with 6.

    Times are tough.

    Jesse's was from a much tighter angle. Ablett's was just further out.

    his check side was equally good. only took half a pace to his left.

    What is being overlooked is that Jesse ran to made good position to receive, looked for options, found none to his liking, decided that the best option was to shoot, changed stride, steadied and kicked the perfect goal from that position. Pure, pure skill.

    No fluke but a considered, premeditated shot from a severe angle while on the move. That's what sets it apart from all the others.

    It's what we have come to expect from Jesse. His football smarts and execution in his many roles are exceptional.

    I simply do not care about these side shows. I don't care about goal of the week, mark of the year, the Brownlow votes or the opinions of football media etc.

    I care about one thing winning games up to and including the GF.

    They can say what they like I simply don't care.

    Speaking of Jesse, when was the last time a Demon kicked back to back bags of five?

    EDIT: Just had a look, best I could find was Russell Robertson back in 2005.

    This is a job for @Supermercado

    I will stand corrected but given that we were lucky to score five goals in a week most of the time after 2007 that Russell Robertson's 7 and 6 in Round 20-21, 2005 are the winners.

    Next was Neitz with 6/6/5 in Round 16-18, 2004 (also had 8/5 in Round 20 and 22, 2006 but missed the game in the middle).

    What about +5 goal Melbourne players since 2000 full-stop. It's an eclectic selection - will update if I've missed any.

    This hasn’t really got anything to do with this weeks goals of the week but I’ll put it here anyway. 

    I’ve been thinking the last couple of weeks how with all the goals we’ve kicked over the last month, none of them have been jaw dropping pulled out of your arse goals, or flukes or lucky bounces. 

    They’ve pretty much all been standard, well structured goals. Shows how well everything is working. 

     

    [censored] we’re boring.

    Agreed. We must have had about 10 goals against Adelaide that were as good as the GWS nominated one. If this is what it is like to be boring, then bore the hell out of me! ?

    I think Jesse's should be goal of the week just for the comedy gold going on in the background with Gawn and his opponent while Hoges was kicking it.

    • 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?
