All spot on for me aside from mayyyyyybe this one being a little harsh. Not the most skilled, but on a day where we had no real intensity I thought he was the one player going full speed for the ball and full intent into tackles for the full 4 quarters. Not a player I rate very highly overall, but I've actually really liked the pressure and effort he's brought every time he's played. 7 tackles, 5 marks, 6 score involvements (despite playing all over the ground) and 24 pressure acts I reckon is not a bad return given where he sits on the list and how the rest of the team performed, including the co-captains leading him.

Spot on LN. At least he has a red hot go.

Joeboy just got back from north’s 102 point loss to Geelong in the VFL.

Apparently Tyson was - prolific but wasteful.

[censored] me. I’m glad I’m in North Queensland and only had Rugby to to concern myself with

i used to reckon rugby and soccer were [censored] but after following Melbourne for about 60 years I’m having a rethink

Plenty taking up the mantle ?‍♂️


I reckon "Oscar : Limited but tried" nearly amounts to a BOG

Baker : basics before party tricks

Wagner : Had redhot go. ( Potentially a Small defender (when Nev retires ) or a small fwd .....now  !!!

Petty : Looked likely a lot.

Dunkley::  extremely promising kid.

Viney : If you get the ball you do not get to take it home.

May : Nothing 15x 2km time trials will not fix.

  • 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.
