No Gawn and Viney makes it hard. Ugly loss coming up. Those two have done so much work for us this season

North have proven that they can't win a game without Cunnington. Jackson and Brayshaw will be able to cover them.

    Add Jackson to that he has to play the game of his life.

    I hope we don't burn him out too.

    Hopefully we won't see the clips of Gus sitting despondently on the bench for long periods.

    Weid and LJ to take advantage of Gus's delivery into the forward 50.

    Has to be Sparg's last chance with Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt capable of taking his place.

    Last chance garbage, should Never have been picked in front of Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt

    Are we serious??

    I notice that Preuss was named as an emergency, does that mean he’s in Adelaide as well? If so he must feel coming to Melbourne was a wait of time.

    Agree on pretty much all of them, but Bennell is being managed. I’d easily have Hunt in over Spargo.

    Love to see a sprint race between Gus, Tomlinson, Tmac and Jones. 

    Possibly the slowest team that has played for the MFC since Big Carl, Ray Biffen, Spud Dullard and Gary baker (sorry Gary) lined up together. And i reckon those four would beat the others home!

    Good grief i have been waiting all evening for this

    Spargo and T mac Selection equals committee  lost plot

    Tmac is not right cant run cant catch cant turn cant kick  the game has passed him by 

    Spargo is vertically challenged with zero footy smarts

    Why employ Preuss if not for this scenario

    Tmac has played and shown nothing. Preuss at least may really want to play and perform against his old club

    Only thing I'll say on this, is that Hunt has been given a crack this year and, for the most part, done little with it.

    Time to give Charlie a crack and see if he can do better.

    I dunno what the point is in having Preuss if we don't play him for this exact scenario.

    Have a feeling he will play instead of Tom Mac. Hunt must really be on the outer if he is behind Spargo, who is small, slow, a short kick and can’t mark, the opposite of Hunt.

    Like all DL'ers I have NFI what the FD see in Charlie.

    27 games averaging less than one goal and one goal assist per game.

    Spargo was good in 2018 after a commendable debut. He was rubbish in 2019 along with the rest of them. Glad he’s getting another crack.

    Spargo has always been rubbish, has just been carried in a good team in 2018

    Incorrect.

    He showed plenty in 2018, which is why he was part of the side in 2018 for most of the year.

    As ET rightly points out above, he stunk it up in 2019 but so did many others.

    Deserves another crack this week.

    Spargo is easily the worst selection of the year. Tommy isn't much better but when on song he can at least play forward, Spargo can't play anywhere.

    Developing.

    To me, he deserves a run at it.  Hunt got his chance and did little with it.  Bennell has been hot and cold.  Time to give Charlie a game or two and see if he can cement a spot in the side going forward.  He's shown he is capable of doing it.

    • 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.
