    Great decision to bring milkshake back, he is playing great footy.!!!

     

    Melksham should have been dropped when he was (actually a lot earlier) but even I, one of his most vocal critics could see he was the type of player we needed back in the team.

    He’s making our forward line look a lot more dangerous.

    Any chance we can finish with more goals than behinds? Hasn’t happened since the Brisbane win.

    Oh and Melksham stays. I can’t think of anyone at the  club that would’ve snapped that goal deep in the pocket on the wrong side for most players.

    And people didn’t think Ben Brown should play in our best side. Lolx100

    In fairness, didn't is past tense and for a while he wasn't.

    But, as with Melks and ANB, all taken back tonight.

    Fritta had better PHFO though.  Especially if TMcD is fit next week.

    Melk like I've said on many occasions gives our forward line a different dimension he is a live wire who can do the freakish.

    Fritta having a very quiet night.

    Great third quarter. 

    That being said, the wind is howling down that end.

    Tighten up and play this out boys!

    Just asking - why is that worthy of comment?

    They look nothing alike. 

    Great quarter. Melksham justifying his place in the team with some handy crumbing goals. 

    Gawn doing some nice things in the ruck and Neal-Bullen doing some good thngs to. 

    Come on dees bring it home!!!

    I would say that Jackson has done well tonight. I would let him have a solid run NicNat. He can outleap him now, just needs to make sure his taps hit the target. Will struggle body on body at the throw ins.

    No doubt. That’s not why it’s a ridiculous comment. Gawn was huge that quarter.

    Umpiring was probably more on our favour that quarter.

    Great quarter with the wind. Exaclty what we needs from some of the players who’s spot in the side not locked in.

    Hate to see us put the cue in the rack and slow it down here but it’s what we have been doing all year.

    • 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?
