What a dam shame we got Meth Coke before they left home...

When was the last time we played West Coast at the G?

Fixture indeed.

    About a minute before Jeremy Howe’s injury, I was just saying how much we could do with him at Melbourne and how he was far superior to anyone we have in our defence, then ... 

    True Jack but let's never forget Howe walked on us. Or at least he and his manager made it impossible for him to stay.

    Starting to look like Charlie Dixon is the standout tall forward of the season, and by a significant margin.

    Although, horrifyingly, Ben King might be his main rival at present.

    Come on T.Mac, come on Weid, there's a loose All-Australian spot up for grabs for any tall forward who actually kicks goals this year!

    i would love to put that to the Prez next Wednesday, that must be front and centre in his mind. 
    WE have to change... a lot

    Let's remember we tried to get rid of him a year before to GWS.

    We are above west coast on the ladder and played two less games. 
     

    Let that sink in. ?

    I just realised that today's games are like some kind of special championship event featuring all the teams where the only thing I care about is the particularly disliked teams losing!

    I checked the season guide and sure enough, the AFL have this marked in as 'shaudenfreude round'.

    Ports drafting the last few years has been top notch.  They have some serious young talent.

     

    Reckon Rivers, Kozzie and Jackson are our “nailed it at the draft table“ year

    Saints running hard both ways and good disposal.

    What a difference it makes!

    Theyre also not having 3 players getting sucked into tackling one opponent.

    Go saints.

    I'm glad I saw your comment, because I'd written it off and just flicked it on in time to catch the Butler and Bolton goals and for the first time this season outside watching Demons a game is holding my attention!

    And they took Duursma,  who would have looked good in RednBlue.

    We're not so bad... if Tim Membrey can jag 3 against the reigning premiers...

    It is hard to pick a winner this season. These shorter quarters are stuffing things up nicely. I don't think we will do any good out of them. We trained well over summer but the fast handballing skills are not there. We would do much better with a normal game time. Hope I am wrong.

    • 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.
