    We will win this and change the tragectory of the season.

    Small grounds suit us, until we adapt to the 6-6-6  rule. We were better on smaller grounds last year before the AFL changed the rules and unfairly lessened our recruitment strategy of competitive beasts.

    Lose it and its light out for 2019.   We aren't coming back from 0-4 especially with our tough draw.

    I'm with you. If this was at the G It would be a certain loss,  but I have a feeling the SCG will suit us due to lack of open space. They are only slightly quicker than us if at all so pace won't destroy us like Essendon did.

    We'll win this.

    Smaller ground, one day extra break.

    McVeigh a big loss. Hayward as well, makes them need to go to Buddy more.

    Let the system go... just play and enjoy.

    Went looking for the odds with betting agencies absolutely staggered to see most have the odds around the mark or Swans $1.75 to Dees $2.10.

    I was hoping for some $3 plus value on us. My feelings before each game has come to fruition this year but I’m confident of a win this week... Maybe more hoping because I’ll be up there

    Yep, even more predictable than it already is.

    See Carlton last week.

    I'm not sure any ground particularly suits us especially a smaller ground against very quick opposition.

    Just imagine ( painful as it is ) just how quickly Sydney can go coast to coast on their beloved turf ( non-lawn, paddock ) ??

    From extended kickins..quick flick to Buddy... goodnight Irene.

    This is a monumental blood bath in the making.Fun days ahead.

    Not sure why folks think SCG is a 'small ground':  155m L x 136m W. 

    As a reminder:  Round 2, 2019 @ gmha:  170m L x 115m W.  We lost by 80 points.

    It is the wider grounds that trouble us because opp spread wide and stretch our defences on the outside.  SCG has more room for this play than gmha had.  If we can't win on a ground that is 115m wide I can't see it happening on one that is 20m wider.

    I think we will win this one on the smaller ground, but then lose to St Kilda at the G next week.

    I think I am correct in saying that Buddy hasn’t played in a loosing team against Melbourne. Time to break another Hoodoo DEES ?

    • 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.
