Spoke to Max’s family member this morning. She said he was unusually quiet but very much in the zone and very focused. Hope his team mates are there with him.

Go Dees ❤️?

    Wow.

     

    Can see at least 20 plus dees supporters at station.

     

    We are out in full force tonight!!

    I’m on a train full of Dees supporters. Everyone is upbeat and chatty. It’s a nice change.

    I don't know what to say.

    I don't know what to do.

    I have no insights, no analysis, no words of wit.

    Nothing.

    Not nervous, but full of anxious energy. A shower then off to the G.

    Will get nervous if the game continues to be close the longer it gets. But [censored] it, optimism here, looking forward to attending my first Dees final in 12 years.

    Will be there in full voice tonight. Hope for an overwhelming Dees crowd, and an argument or 2 with [censored] supporters!

    A benefit of being on the Sandringham line. Im carrying a spare scarf for a Carlton supporter that sill be watching the game with me and another mate. A condition of supplying extra ticket was that they wear a Melbourne scarf and face paint. 

    Lots of anxious energy, need a drink.

    Anyone outside the G, how busy are we looking?

     

    Wondering if there's time for a few quick pints ?

    Morrison, Findlay and Chamberlain the umpires tonight.

    Gus's mate is a plus, ?, but more importantly no bald pr!ck tonight

    Just got into the members now. Massive turnout which isnt a surprise.  Jones, brayshaw and salem came out for a walk and everyone turned around and cheered.

    i'm surprised about how lacking in nerves i am

    just genuinely excited

    As I

    Ive no idea what the outcome will really be but I SUSPECT we'll win and it'll be well deserved.

    I think we'll have a real crack at this  as youd think...but some teams get the yips and do rabbit impressions.

    Absolutely game on tonight. The boys are hungry...but they have some calmer heads directing the team energy.

    Quite , and quietly, confident we'll avenge our own Demons.

    A Friday night in Alice, always a lot of shouting from the drunks in Todd river, well tonight I reckon I am going to put them to shame, I pity anyone wanting to go to sleep living within a 100m radius

    Just warned the neighbours!

    Apparently even if we lose tonight, we are still in with a shot. At least according to Slobbo we are.

    • 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?
