Jake Lever points the finger against Hawthorn on Friday night.

"See that? Right there! He threw it!"

"Yeah .... so what?  In rugby you can do that."

"This is Aussie Rules, you dumb ***!!"

"Oh right ... feet only ... but you can head it. So ... is that guy the goalie?"

    Lever was awesome. Cool calm and measured. hes back to his 2017 all Australian form if he keeps his form up.

    While May was rusty with some of his disposal, it's so good to have a big monster down back who can take the big forwards. He will be vital for is in terms of leadership down if he stays fit.

    Some of Lever's disposal was awry as well. Let's look at the final result instead of nitpicking every nuance. In the old days you went to the footy and enjoyed the spectacle as a visceral once only performance. These days every time a player scratches his head band or puts a finger in one nasal aperture and lets boogs fly from the other it's not only on camera but on replay then for years on You Tube afterwards. It's an imperfect game...

    Lever and May together down back

    Petracca in the middle and Fritsch forward

    Langdon and Tomlinson on the wings

    Jones forward, Lockhart back, a rejuvenated Viney and Melksham and Kozzie lurking in the pocket

    There is actually a lot of significant differences to last years side.

    Same thing. The fact that he was in the initial squad alone is an amazing achievement and shows what he's capable of.

    Jeffy Garlett was in that squad too from memory.

    And so he should have been: he played great games for us.

    Also from memory, he did kick 40+ goals as a small forward that season.

    I'm sure it's already been said elsewhere, but how good was it seeing him run right through Wingard

    The kick in from May to Gawn from the goal square, which immediately led to Langdon sprinting down the wing and then delivering it to Fristch, who converted skillfully on his left, was great to watch - but, on so many levels, it also represented the significant difference between this season and last.

    That so many industry observers and commentators (most notably The Roar) fail to recognise these differences surprises me. Injuries permitting, we should definitely be in the mix this year. And a critical factor in this will be the May and Lever partnership - both of whom I’m hoping will be in the AA conversation by the end of this season.

    I reckon they’ll both prove themselves to be fantastic recruits for this club.

    I think 'balance' is the key to the 2020 team with most of the side now able to play in positions they are now suited to

    It’s Leigh Fisher in the pic. If that’s his grasp on the rules it might explain the fairly premature end to his playing career!

    Ha ha Yeah that may be getting a little carried away but good to see 'Tickets' & May show some solid form nevertheless.....Just hope they both stay injury free as that will be a major factor in our success.

    • 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?
