need a jones out there now ,brayshaw can go home

 

Now if only there were someone who could tell the players how they might respond to the Hawks. 
 

i know.  We need a coach!  
 

we’ll see if we’ve got one

That was well worked, even if we almost stuffed it up.

Big ten minutes coming up.  Who is going to stand up and turn the momentum back our way?

Brayshaw is just a bog average football player. Slow by hand and brain, sloppy by foot, just a real liability. I'd package up a pick to send with him if that meant a team would take him and his contract off our hands.

Very lazy at times and just doesn't have the ugency or fitness level to play at this level for more than a quarter or so.  Has cost us so many goals over the journey.

Has his moments but too few and far between and murders too many of his non-pressured disposals by foot.

Trade at year's end while there's still value for mine.  We need an inside / outside mid with class who can finish.

    • 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?
