Thanks DLand that is a great read.

    Was steak knives in the Hogan/May trade, but if he stays fit I think he’ll prove to be a really valuable player for us. We are crying out for highly skilled running types like him, so hopefully he can realize his potential and become the player he promised to be early in his career. Second in the BnF ahead of May, Lynch, Dixon, Martin etc shows the talent and output was there. I’d love him to settle on a wing, but think he may replace Lewis at halfback.

    Really hope he can become a great player for the MFC!  Gotta feel for these kids who have the talent to make it, but who then struggle to get on the park due to protracted periods of injury and/or illness!  Just hope his bad patch is now well & truly behind him.

    (Kinda nice touch that his first game with us will see him on the same ground as his brother!)

    I'd argue, that was the media's perspective (and perhaps some supporters) ...there is no way this FD would waste a spot on dead wood (JKH excluded :( )

    HaHa, and with May.  Lets hope we all can get a win for one another.

    Good story.  Does he wear a helmet?

    Two Ks, JK & KK, playing tomorrow.  Hate to be calling the play when they're both on the ground!

    Is he Jewish,  'RN' ?

    what did people think of his first game ?

    I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. Thought he was an outside player ? but seemed to lack pace to me. and intensity.

    Like most, looks like a guy who's just underdone. Lack of pace was very evident & physically he looks very weak / undeveloped.

    These first 4 to 6 weeks will be very slow guys. Already looking forward to the second half of the season... got a feeling we'll hit the back half hard!

    Took particular interest in this part of the article prior to the game and my immediate thought was why is he playing this week? I'll reserve judgment for now but wasn't much to get excited about from the weekends performance.

     

    ' I was kept out of the team in round one, 2016, but managed to convince the coaching staff to clear me for a return the following week.

    In hindsight, I probably rushed myself back too early and could have done with a few more weeks in the NEAFL to help me build my match fitness and conditioning, as well as my confidence as I still wasn’t playing to the standard I knew I was capable of.'

    well I actually hope that's the case here, as he looked slow and underdone.

    • 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?
