    Just listening to Jade Rawlings on SEN, and he mentioned the new recruits who’ll be stepping out for Casey on Sunday. If I heard correctly Tom Sparrow’s name wasn’t one of them, suggesting he’ll play against Port. 

    Or Twig had a moment of forgetfulness...

    I'd say it's an oversight.  From what I've seen Sparrow is a mile off.

    What a silly comparison. 

    Maybe too difficult for you to understand.

    Risk mitigation is very complex and a risk assessment that doesn’t work out, doesn’t mean the decision was wrong. 

    Lots of people thought Brayshaw should not have played again and he has since come 3rd in the Brownlow. The club assessed the risk and decided it would be safe for him to play on. At this stage it looks a wise decision.

    If he copped a freak knock to the head that ended his career people like you would look at the outcome and decide we got it wrong rather than the process which we seem to have got right.

    Absolutely agree dl4e

    Will crumb and has goal sense !

    Then again, Lewis has great goal sense too, and is a great, canny snapper at the big ones. Ten minutes in the deep forward may refresh these skills

    Corey Wagner set to make his debut for Melbourne on Saturday. Was de-listed by North then spent a year in the VFL and making coffees on Swan St.

    Corey wagner to debut

    I don't mind this, Has some flaws, but hits packs front and centre at pace. Did it 4/5 times in the Casey/Brisbane game. He fumbled a couple of times but getting that timing right is a rare skill. We've missed having someone with that skill since Garlett was dropped last year

    Awesome to see Corey getting a go.

    how good is it too see boys come from the VFL into the big time. We’ve got Fritsch, Wagner, Hore, Keilty as an emergency, Hibberd originally VFL as well. Good stuff.

    Really interested to see whether Salem is on the wing in actuality. Would love to see but I do not see a perfect replacement.

    And once again, a huge vote of confidence for Hunt, or what he brings is seen as so important and different to what we have in the team that he is given every opportunity.

    Billy Stretch is on the outer - career under threat 

    Agree Chook.....doesn't seem to be one of Goodwin's fav's & hard to improve & develop when the coach won't back ya.

    Don't reckon Billy's had a good block of games since Roosey left, although I may be wrong.

    Probably because he unfortunately just doesn’t look quite an afl-level midfielder, which is really the only position he can play

    Seems to have lost confidence especially with his disposal. It won’t help not even being an emergency and Corey Wagner being picked ahead of him. I feel sorry for him because apparently he is a super-professional trainer and a really good person.

    Good to see Marty Hore will debut on Saturday. Met him at the Family day. A very personable young man, and handsome too. His photographs don't do him justice. I'm predicting he will become a fan favourite very soon. (Hope he plays well!)

    If our recent VFL recruits in Hannan and Fritsch are any indication, I'm excited to see what Hore and Wags 2.0 can provide to the team.  

    Congratulations to them both!

    • 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?
