    Picking from a what is good for MFC viewpoint there are several interesting matches.

    If Adelaide could bet the Bombers that would be fantastic.

    As for the others depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Believing us to be clearly top 4 material ?I'm going for

    GWS

    North

    Port

    Dockers

    Eagles

    Bulldogs

    Hawks and Swans to draw

    And Storm to thrash the Broncos !!

    Not fussed who wins tonight. Don't mind either team. 

    I'd love to see Adelaide get up and beat the bummers. That would be fantastic.

    Should actually be a pretty watchable game tonight. Both teams happy to play with an offensive mindset so hopefully we see a few goals kicked.

    Would prefer a Suns win tonight.  Think it helps us more, as they will likely run out of steam in the seasons 2nd half anyway.    Dogs one of our main competitors for a spot in the 8.

    really, dogs should be a top 6 side

    they've disappointed since the surprise premiership

    sigh...i'd love a surprise premiership...

    Half Time and neither side has impressed at this point in time. 

    The other thing that’s not impressing is the rain and the predictions that it’s going to hang around the Coast for the next few days and affect our game on Sunday.

     It should also impact our team selection and I’m thinking Nathan Jones is firming for a return. T. Mac also still a chance as well.

    Weightman - 0 posies into the third.  Runs around packs like a seagull looking for a chip.

    Post that in the Weightman thread!

    Pickett all day, every day.

    I’ve really enjoyed the Suns v Dogs game. 
    English has gone from a bag full of chocolates to the boiled lollies this week. 
    I really enjoy seeing Libba back to his best, tough little nugget and just keeps bobbing up for stats and goals. 

    The ground is going to struggle with the weather on the way.

    Wow, just checked.  31 hit outs to 8.  English getting a lesson

    I'm sorry but I simply don't rate the doggies.

    They've got a gun midfield with a forward line that only works on some weeks.  When it's off they can't score at all.  Granted, the weather didn't help later in the game, but at they can be totally impotent inside 50.

    Also, anyone feel ill when Billy Gowers marked the ball with about 30 seconds left and then turned it over with a shocker of a kick.  I swear he could have been wearing a Melbourne jumper when he did that.

    100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]

    I'm getting really really really REALLY tired of the commentators fawning over Rankine!!  Even when he kicked behinds in the last, they were making it seem like it was part of a cunning plan! (did love his mark though)

    Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates

    I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly with him. He can have all the tricks in the world, but eventually he will have to tow the line for the team and he will be watching from the stands

    • 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.
