Dean Kent just limped off at Saints training and likely to miss this week and maybe more.

So, who will play first - Kent or AVB?

    I am neither here nor there with Richo - I am wondering what the powers that be, see as the value that he would bring, and for what role?

    Would rather try and get Balmey back.  Success seems to follow wherever the old statesman goes.  Love his " say alot but give nothing" banter with the usual press injury questions also!

    I think Goody's been copping it more for the "after match" pressor responses EG.  Not sure he even deals with the standard injury stuff during the week.  In fact i can't recall who does down there.

    You certainly haven't seen / heard any of that the from myself.  The whole pressor scenario is a complete sham/circus with pretty much the same inane questions every week.  Don't really care how Goody handles them.   What he's doing/saying within the four walls is all that matters IMV.

    Personally I don’t see the appeal. Goody doesn’t know how to set up and play at the ‘G. We need a coach who has come from a successful club who’s home ground was the same as ours.

    Richo had no issue playing the G when he met us.

    Won 3 of 4 meetings at the G.

    Yeah - let's get Malthouse. Could be a director of coaches?

    20 or so people who contribute to the Herald Sun were asked at the start of this season who would make the top 8. Malthouse was the only person who didn’t tip Melbourne to finish in the 8. He was lambasted at the time. Maybe he’s not a crazy old coot.

    As someone said he is very much the alpha male and I cant see him fitting in and supporting - he would want to be the dominant force. Pass.

    Ha! Madhouse hates us. Had always have us outside the 8.

    Regardless, he's a crazy old coot

    It's not about having any claim to fame on the G...nor having won a bit of silverware. It's really about having a footy brain and a normal brain that knows when to do what. I for one wouldnt judge anyone per se just  because of a StKilda association. There is no stranger fish than the StKFC. But he seems a reasoned and experienced football mind that seems capable of bending like a tree. We've got to many rock -types currently.

    Hell...he has our lot sussed.

    I saw him over summer down the surf coast with his missus. He was cracking it because pedestrians were walking on the wrong side of the footpath.

    I saw him in the city the other day. He was yelling at a young yahoo on one of those new fangled scootery thingos.

    Malthouse was probably telling the tree how poplar he is.

    • 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.
