On the live trade period telecast, i expect to see the usual tacky stuff.

* Countdown timer.

* Footage of club officials running down corridors with papers in hand.

* Same officials on their phones with finger in opposite ear, with furrowed brows.

* Increasingly excited commentary towards period end.

* Interviews with various club officials talking about how they got their "target" (And how much work went on behind the scenes)

* Gill doing something..... ANYTHING to be on TV and help out Fox because $$

 

What i dont expect to hear...... 

*Anyone admit most of the "last minute" trades were actually decided days earlier, but held back per AFL "suggestions" (because Fox $$)

 

What have i missed?

    If Jesse was less introverted I would have expected him to be paraded out in a Freo jumper but I doubt he'd be up for that. Maybe some Freo socks.

    A bunch of middle aged white blokes trying to pretend that what they are doing is more important than curing cancer and ending world wars, whilst displaying their non-existent personalities.

    They don't help her by making her regurgitate the [censored] said on Twitter. She is ex-MFC so worthy of some pleasantries.

    That doesn't help either.

    List managers punching on, lifting chairs above their heads. 

    We need far more of that

    • 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.
