Gus = Gun. 

From the AFL site:

The Demons kicked eight goals to three in the third quarter on the back of a stellar effort from Max Gawn and Angus Brayshaw. Gawn won seven hit-outs to advantage in the third term, whilst Brayshaw won 12 disposals, three clearances and three inside 50s.

    Tmac has been the anti Plugger tonight. Clunking them but not converting.

     

    Midfield is the place for Brayshaw, no more [censored] around with positions

    Oliver's composure is crazy. I would have shat myself and either got caught holding the ball or else hoofed it to the opposition.

    Sorry 

     

    someone gots to say it 

     

     

    Isn’t it amazing how a team full of players who don’t deserve a game because they are VFL standard 

    are now completely in control 

    Maybe they’ve all had what BC had at half time in that GF 

    Keeping the dogs scoreless in this last quarter is good practice. 

    Success hurts, but it’s worth it


    We’ve won this with 4 good players. 

    Geelong defenders will be laughing at this comical [censored].

    Nice tackle from JKH. Not sure I want him in next week. I'd prefer Bugg or (If he comes up) our Captain in Viney.

    In what strange world does a team lead by over 40 points but so down in free kicks?

    JKH is showing something in this last quarter. I hate it when players wait to the last quarter to show something though.

    JKH going into junk time tackles

     

    Frost has been excellent getting the ball, but his kicking... sheesh

    Max been amazing tonight.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
