We had one particular poster label Jesse as pathetic and a disgrace for a month yet Goody sounds very happy with his form up to last week.

    Jugding by what goody said about Viney, we may not see him until the first week of the finals. 

    He will not be risked in Perth on that hard deck. I think wise heads will keep him clear of the GWS game.

    As for Hibbo It looks like a return for the West Coast game.

    Goodwin on whether Oliver or Gawn is having a better season:  "If you ask Max, he would say he is contributing to Clayton's season.  If you ask Clayton, he'd say he's making Max look good."  ?

    In all seriousness, we are so blessed to have them both as Demons.  They clearly have huge inate talent, and have worked their butts off to get to this level, and the Club itself deserves a great deal of credit for developing them to become stars of the competition.  Fingers crossed, they will be part of a premiership team sooner rather than later.

    Agree! It was obviously a tongue in cheek line from Goodwin but both statements are probably actually true. The Gawn-Oliver team is greater than the sum of its parts so to speak.

    I agree. I've got some money on Maxxy, but I think Clarry might take some of those crucial votes.

    Is it possible that a wooden spooner could provide the Brownlow winner? Would be farcical if that happens.

    Though i would prefer Cripps to win it over 'plays for touches' Mitchell.

    I can’t recall, but how were the Dees traveling when Woey won the Brownlow?

    i used to be so happy for Robert Harvey, when he went back to back -  GAB jrn - also did it at gold coast - it can happen - and I kind of hope it does happen again. Just not this year - for max.

    • PREVIEW: 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
