    Good start to the day. Choice of seats at this stage. Don't be fooled by the blue sky, it's bread monkeys here in the wind. 

     

    I know in modern footy that being tough is putting your head over the ball and going when it's your turn. But you need mongrel in finals. Who provides the protection and does the damage for us?  I like Kent for name-related reasons, and TMac is a hard man.  We've got plenty of talent and no squibs. But who are GWS afraid of?

    Such a meh change. JKH has shown zero at senior level, would have liked Bugg in ahead of him. Bugg for all of his issues has shown his best at senior level is well ahead of JKHs. (Hopefully no-one sooks up at a view on what we have seen from JK).

    [censored] a duck. [censored] change. Injuries are just pissing me off so much this season  

    JHK is just such a nothing addition.

    I'm a late out, so will be part of the TV audience.

    I have a feeling. It started in my nethers ( a sure sign of veracity) and is evolving. Because I can't be there, I reckon Melbourne will have a mighty win today. 

    This momentum will then carry us into a glorious victory in the Elim final.

    I will have to rejig the nethers before subsequent predictions. 

    BBO - late out (nethers)

    Bugg would've only added 1 Goal 3 Behinds and 1 Out on full

    Prefer JKH for his defensive run

    Hannan was great last week.  Hopefully just a 1 week injury.

    Just need JKH to not be a liability and we should be ok.

    Big shout out to the MFC for embracing and rewarding their members this week. My 8-year old won the ‘Junior Mascot experience’ for today’s game. She’ll be running out with the boys, through the banner! Asked who she’d like to run out with (they get a choice), she said without hesitation, “Clarry, and if not him, Max.” She knows her footy! Great reward for a dedicated young Demon.

    So no-one else doing the lap of honour? Surely someone else had nothing better to do on weekends and went to every single home game! ?

    Massive chance for JKH to miraculously get a spot in a finals side after looking gone all year. Let's back him in!

    Would have been good for Hannan to have another run before finals and add to last weeks effort. 

    JKH to break the corralling stat record. 

    Edited by Ethan Tremblay

    Perfect chance go's begging to see what Bugg could produce late in the season.

    JKH provides defensive run? Oh well he's in let's hope he plays out of his skin.

    • 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.
