    Makes a few people who posted to drop him on the changes thread look a bit silly to say the least...

    Great first game back.

    The split looks like:

    • 5/5 McDonald
    • 4/3 Mills
    • 4/2 Oliver
    • 3/0 May
    • 2/0 Harmes
    • 1/0 Hickey
    • 1/0 Salem

    So both coaches gave votes to McDonald, Mills and Oliver.

    No agreement on May, Harmes, HIckey and Salem.

    If we drop Tom McDonald and James Harmes surely that makes it easier for Gawn, Oliver and Salem to get more votes, and win the award.

    Maxy is due for an absolute blinder. 

    Was  hard on Sat eve  with the ball being so slippery. He dropped a few he'd normally swallow whole.

    Almost as silly as those you suggested Mcdonald plays back.

    I'm a bit surprised that Luke Parker didn't get a vote.  He seemed to bob up with annoying frequency, particularly around those much discussed centre clearances.

    edit:  I just checked his stats to see if it was just my imagination, and he had 32 disposals, 4 marks, 5 tackles and 7 clearances.  That's a good day's work by any standard.

    It really was a good return for Harmes; he battled hard and kept working away at it all despite a loss of form and a few errors. His use of the body in close and in screens was terrific. His ball usage was sloppy at times and at other times, effective. His ability to run and link is a real asset to our game, and it will improve as he, too, adjusts to the new footballing mantras about him.

    Yes, good first game back for Harmes, but he does owe the club.

    You really have to hand it to him. Amazing mental toughness and application to get his body and game back to 2018 level. Put up for trade last year too.

    No-one saw this coming.  As his confidence grows, he could really dominate

    Him and Fritsch on track to get 40-50 goals this season

    Indeed. Dont kniw what game they watched.

    He made a few poor decisions but for tge most part played a ripper even outside the fact it was his first gamr for the season.

    Will be even better with a few games in him.

    So many players are reaching their true potential because of our new winning culture.

    Amazing that 2 of our forwards have gained 10/10 in consecutive weeks and 4 players in the top 12. Shows that there is not an over reliance on 1 or 2 stars.

    Correct.  Only way the votes could have gone

    • 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?
