He is a big out but they've got plenty more to replace him.

    They can just choose from their plethora of first round picks to replace him. Won't have the same impact, but is easily cover-able by them compared to the rest of the comp.

    Exactly. They have insane depth and talent.

    Still reaping the rewards of the ridiculous concessions the AFL game them.  Sad part is they haven't even peaked yet.

    Most talented midfield in the league. They’ve got plenty of coverage available for him, though he’s a gun.

    GWS Giants

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
     Matt Flynn  Knee  TBC
     Tommy Sheridan   Calf  3-4 weeks
     Tim Taranto   Shoulder  4-5 months
     Callan Ward   Knee  4-6 weeks
    Updated: Tuesday, March 3

    Early prognosis

    Taranto will have reconstructive surgery this week and won't be seen until at least July in a massive blow for the Giants. Ward will miss probably the first month of the home and away season as he makes his way back from his ACL, while Sheridan's troublesome calf issues continue to hobble him. - Adam Curley

    Means one of Green, Ash, Hateley, Caldwell etc will get a game. Ridiculous depth.

    GWS are my tip for the flag. Nothing crazy about that.  We have two very tough games to start 2020. We could be 0-2 but don’t panic if we are. Eagles and Giants will probably be top 4 this year.

    Early prognosis

    All eyes will be on star defender Williams ahead of the Geelong clash, after he missed the Marsh Community Series. He's been training and should be fit to play, the Giants will just need to decide if he needs some more work on the track to make sure he's ready for full games at match intensity. - Adam Curley

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
