The delivery to Weideman was horrible for the most part. He played well

Hore was good too.

McDonald is clearly injured. 

 

A very rare winter's journey deep south last weekend attending our first big freeze. So here is our three word dispassionate analysis. Cheer up joeboy!

Jones - lost a yard

Viney - bust or crash

Gawn - captain by performance

Oliver - proliferate with ball

Brayshaw - greater match involvement

Hore - dwarf versus giant

May -  better late than ...

Lever - commendable return game 

Fritsch - ying and yang

Salem - uncharacteristic turnover king 

Frost - out for count

Hibberd - recovery ward escapee 

Baker - learning the ropes

Harmes - committed team man

Petracca - can impose himself

Hannan - greater connectivity required 

Weideman - stood his ground

Spargo - tackling efforts improved  

Garlett - enigma within enigma

Hunt - fluffed easier shot

T. McDonald - scoreboard pressure needed

Wagner - underrated, unappreciated soldier

Kicking coach - kick up khyber!

Collingwood supporters - surprisingly well mannered

Tom had the boots off quicker than ever on Monday. Given the likely nature of the injury I'm not sure if it's one they can operate on or if it's just one he has to manage, but if an operation is required I really hope the club sends him off for it now. The season is over for us, and it will be incredibly short sighted if we run the players into the ground in a desperate attempt to milk everything we can out of it and end up in the same boat preparation wise next year.

  • 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.
