Trac was huge.Ā  My only issue with him is that he keeps looking to dish rather than taking the instinctive shot.Ā  His goal-scoring instincts have been trained out of him.Ā

His yips will get sorted out, but his contested work is as good as anyone in our team.Ā  As I said last week, he makes scores happen (for us, not them).Ā 


Frost - made an impact

I know Frost is far from popular on here but you can't deny the impact he had on this game. He was valuable and was there when we needed someone to step up and do something.

Salem - a f-ing gun

We might be seeing his best footy this season. Very good by foot and hard as nails.

Good call. Ā I'd rather him ping from 50 than lower the eyes. Ā He doesn't have touch.

Melbourne won't let him go with this instinct until Hocking brings super-goals in @ 2021.

Stretch - play tabletennis twitchy

Petracca - Stretch with muscles

Lewis - wig or dye?

Weren't many better

Clarry, Salem, Jones, Melk, McDonald were all better. I'd love it if he delivered on his potential but he doesn't do enough. He's never struck me as a deep thinker but It looks likeĀ he's over-thinking his footy, almost trying too hard.Ā 


T Mac - welcome to 2019

nice of you to join usĀ 

Frost - Reliable in defence

Petracca - Practice goal kicking!

Marty - Watch me Trac

TMac - Beat the clock

Game - Magic 18 seconds

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

  • 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.
