    There must be a huge buzz around the club having both teams playing finals this weekend.

    Heard rumours Hibbo looks sore and isn't training with the group.  Hoping to hear some reports on that!

    If he is running laps that would suggest he should be right to go on Friday, abeit not quite 100%.

    Nope.

    The guys that are playing at Casey are down one end, Bernie and Jeffy with this group. JKH training with the main squad which is interesting and training well too!

    Main squad doing a full ground drill which on the point of the flank and worked up the ground to the leading forward. This consists of spreading out wide hard then hitting the lead up forward .

    Its very blustery so the skills are a bit up and down which im not worried about.

    Petracca is the deep lead up forward who then alternates with Weideman.

    Ball movement is quick and play on at all costs.

    Gussy, Jones, Viney and Lewis see looking class above.

    Hibberd is partial to a bit of soreness, so it’s probably just general management. Fingers crossed. While losing him wouldn’t be ideal, half-back also happens to be where we’re best equipped to cover anyway with the likes of J.Smith and Hunt primed and ready. It wouldn’t be a game changer.

    Great to hear Bernie’s firing. If he’s ready it’s hard to see him getting selected in the firsts, but Casey have a huge PF this week and having him in would help enormously.

    I'm sure viney just let him pass so that they didn't create a blackhole

    I don't think there was ever an issue with Max's calf. The strapping you can see on his calf is to hold a shin guard on for his ruck work, not for his calf. I think this is something the commentators may not have realised Friday night and is being misunderstood...........touch wood.

    • 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.
