I blame (in no particular order):

- The surface of Gosch’s Paddock

- The training staff 

- Jesse’s boots.

You forgot:

- the camp

- going to the AFLPA instead of the coaching team

- Jack Watts

- Norm Smith curse

- Jack Watts

- Dom Tyson

- Oscar McDonald 

- Jack Watts


It's his gait. I have been saying for a very long time.

He walks and runs like a pregnant cow.

He is bandy legged as well.

He must be putting a lot of pressure on other parts of his body because of it.

Trade him.

No send him to the Richmond doctor.

seriously we have seen the flaws In playing players with foot injuries. Put him out for the rest of this year it is not as though we are going to make finals let alone do anything. 

We need him fit and firing in the first game of 2019, 2018 is already a bust.

You could add:

- Nath Jones' leadership

- ANB

- Goodwin not being the right guy

Don't care what anyone thinks if he is out of the side it's a bad loss.

You forgot James Harmes' post-game interview. Definitely a major factor in Jesse's foot issues.


I do find this potential injury interesting. Some have been saying he's been injured in the leg department for weeks, how come no scans beforehand? It's also interesting that his injuries seem fine when playing lesser teams like GC the week before and he moved around freely.

Exactly.

He looks a million bucks when we're beating up on GC and Brisbane.

He looked injured to me last week at training. But I would have said it was a sore back. They were doing some sprints and he was well back and taking very short strides.

But before hanging the medical department at the club I also thought Harmes looked like he had sore groins or hips. Harmesy was great on the weekend. Buddy doesn't train all week but gets up for the games. They say a lot of players are carrying stuff towards the end of the season. I don't know how it works.

I would also add that Gawn looked fine jogging around the boundary and I'm sure the way Melk and Hibberd trained if Sunday was a final they both would have played. I don't think its fair to slander the medics coz it can be a pretty inexact science. Whos to say if Bernie had of played in the ones and Hunt in the twos both players would still be fine. Sliding doors.

My back hurts even when I hear the word "sprint"

  • 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?
