so may back by round 7, then?

Gee I tend to agree, Pert didn’t sell me with a lot of confidence around him playing round 1 or 2 or 3 etc

    i like to think that round 7 is still early...ish into the season

    plus it gives him a solid (4-)6 weeks into the season to 'get his loads up'

    All sounds pretty good, really still dont understand why we belong to the greatest stadium in the world, yet we cant occupy it as our club. Im sure theres reasons, but all just bureaucratic. Seems it would be a hell of a lot easier than building ovals into hills or construction over railway lines?  Occupy the G.

    What I took out of it,

     

    5.35    Admin, home base, and social club and we are very close to that.

     

    6.33  second phase of that, progressing really well, within walking distance of the MCG

     

    10.19     Bennell half a dozen games

    10.28     May    1st game or shortly after

     

    Will I live another 4 years with this stress.

     Pert would make a great Politician !!

     

    Still think 2020  will be great    Go Dees

    I thought Pert was open and forthright.  He knows that he and the Board will be held accountable for what is (and isn't) delivered.  He also acknowledged the significant challenges ahead.  I was left with the impression that our Club will leave 'no stone un-turned to climb the top of the mountain', and I'm heartened by what he had to say.  And yes, I know actions speak louder than words ........ and so does Pert, and he said so.

    With regards to playing finals and winning premierships,  sounds like the same predictions Pert made at Collingwood

    Northern end? Isn’t the City end? And hasn’t it been noted on here that Pies members hate it?

    Yes the optimal answer would be admin, entertainment and indoor training facilities within the MCG stadium and ability to train on the MCG at least twice per week and we have Gosch’s as a back up.

    Interesting that he mentioned Bennell at half dozen games being the hope this year, I think it's what most on here had imagined anyway but clearly he and the board have been briefed on what the fitness staff hope from Harley this year. Imagine if those games come from round 17-18 onwards and we are in finals/top 4 contention, it'd be like getting a brand new player at the end of the year.

    HB could well play 1 Quarter a game

    or 5 minute bursts of the bench

    2-3 goals/assists he is well worth it

    Because it is not big enough to hold all the admin and coaching staff in the one area today.....and there is this thing called cricket which uses the ground for 6 months of the year...

    well then OD inject some reality into the club’s talk of a new admin/training hub within walking distance of the Gee. Where is that going to be? The mind boggles, there aren’t too many options I can think of especially with the Jolimont NIMBY’s so active in the area.

    I don't expect him to play at all,  until at least mid season, at any level.

    It is not a small procedure that he has undergone.  It will totally change everything about is leg muscles, and how his strength is applied for running or tackling.

    And no doubt effect his posture and possibly running gait.

    Deep Down i think he will struggle to play at all. 
    But i would be training him to be a full time Burst player if he makes it. 
    if those few games are in September then he could be very useful indeed.

    • 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.
