You can't play viney and Tyson in same side, with viney out Tyson fits in the side perfectly, Mitch just does not get the ball, with Jeff and spargo in the side Mitch unbalances the side, Tyson has to play in the guts, he has been played on the outside he is no good on the outside. He will play well this game, need his experience  in the guts with viney out.

    Tyson invites pressure on the inside as he doesn't have the bullocking break away ability of a Viney.  Viney is a few rungs above Tyson in this regard.  I would even argue that Tracc & Harmes are starting to show better traits in this area also.

    I would rather stick with Clarry, Brayshaw, Tracc & Harmes and go with an outside winger / HF.

    Kent is the best option for this role when in form vs Hannan / Tyson.  Is also more accurate at goal and on average kicks more goals per match than either of those two (when he gets on the park, which is rare).

    Having said that I dont think any of these 3 are long term keepers (Kent a slim possibility of eveything goes right from here).

    • 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?
