    Any idea how old Noah Yze is, and if he's any good?  If he has any skills like his old man then he'll be a welcome addition to the side in coming years!

    We should be chartering a plane to and from WA with Kobe Farmer on it for each session. We'll dump the Darwin game to pay for it. :laugh:

    No Schwarz no Farmer disappointed with that. I thought Farmer was supposed to go to these things?

    How old are these kids? Age bracket? 

    No idea. Article doesn't say. The girls look like they are a bit older than the boys, so we have a few years to wait yet.

    I’ve seen him playing basketball against my grandson in under 12 competition. He goes ok but it’s a different game and he has plenty of time to not only develop but chose his sport.

    • 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.
