Note:  The majority of the Docker's players are rookies (sub 50 games) giving the Demons a significant (in theory) on field advantage (5 less rookies), all things being equal.

A must win.

Some speed back in with Spargo and Jeffy..

Frosty HAS to have an impact.

If we dont win this one, prepare for the pitchforks.
 

And if we start this game with Viney tagging Neale I will spew.

    Bitter has risen in Katherine 

    I shall end my perilous outback odyssey in Darwin this afternoon and make a grand entrance at the football this evening 

    I expect the team to be inspired by my presence and thrash those Westralians soundly!

    Bitterspeak could not have spoken more EMPHATICALLY !!

    Well said Uncle!!

    I will miss the bulk of the game. My wife has organised dinner out with an old friend of hers (who, frankly I don't really like ) How can wives be so thoughtless ? My next wife might be better on that score. 

    Cheezus just just give her a pleasant reminder of why she married you, excuse yourself with groin soreness and stay home!!

    Cant be that hard to do!??

    I think the correct expression is 'spew up'.

    Bugga. Mid-flight mid-game. Hopefully Dbv airport by half time (when we're trailing by 18 points).

    • 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.
