Wet weather!

Glad Bowey is in, and Salem. So important not to give turnovers in their forward half.

It will be a territory game, push it forward and fight. 

We have a good balance of young, mature, fast, gut running and powerful players.

Love to see Langdon rip it up and Pickett involved for 4 quarters. 

Plenty of room for BBB to operate, with Fritta leading to smart areas. 

C'mon Dees play as clean as possible and get some goal accuracy. A good start and we are in the box seat.

Would love to see us show up for a fight,  be ruthless and play for each other, team first stuff .

Go Dees.

    Eagles are going to come out breathing fire.  Hope the boys are switched on from the first minute. Hit them hard early and I  believe they will fold.

    West Coast's odds on Sportsbet have considerably shortened.

    60 cent turn around since Tom was ruled out.

    Bring finals pressure and we win. Simple as that.

    Ask me with about 20 seconds left in the last.

    Melksham is the interesting one - offers a lot if he puts in the required effort. Unfortunately a big if. We now have a reasonable collection of good ball users and an in form tall forward. It should be a Winn ing mix as long as the attitude is good

    Milkshake should be running around like a man possessed tonight. Do you want a chance at a flag?? Just chase and pressure and you’ll be in finals

    Nope.

     

    Unless it helps us make top 2, then yes.

    Will we have crowds at Geelong for our round 23 clash with regional Victoria coming out of lockdown? Interesting.

    Chris Scott just said he wants crowds this coming weekend.

    Nervous and got an uneasy feeling about this.

    Hoping last week wasn't a flash in the pan stuff from Jackson. 

    Harmes needs to show why he deserves to be named starting mid over Viney.

    Gawn going up against one of the premier ruckman in the league. Huge challange. 

    Defence critical tonight..

    More so than a loss, yes. 😁

    Will we score enough without Tmac?

    Not raining yet by the looks of it.

    Strangely I have a good feeling.

    Eagles will throw everything at us but I think our onballers will be the difference.

    Langdon to be back in career best and kozzie to have a night out.

    • 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?
