    Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before.

    Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them.

    West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six.

    Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see.

    Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. 

    We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close.

    So true. I wonder if a new Captain will be announced next week?

    Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. 

    I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well 

    I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership

    There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game.

    No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it.

    They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one.

    Must ruffle some feathers.

    If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it.

    Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over.

    One day they are not going to come back.

    I hope it's this one...

    I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list.

    Will barracking the Giants home today and I actually think they will win. Certainly don't deserve to be $3.30 outsiders, closer to a 50/50 game I would've thought.

    I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly.

    I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh.

    • 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.
