I'd be shocked if the dog's DON'T try anything they can to stop Max. I agree with Leigh Matthews on SEN Saying if Max Gawn wins the Norm Smith, nothing the dogs do will matter, and i'd extend that to, if Max plays well, it's lights out for the dogs

    Don't know what the current bumping rule is not because they've changed it so often but originally you couldn't lay a bump unless the ball was within 5 metres 

    The won’t necessarily need bump him, just get in his way so he can’t run directly contest to contest. Have to think if it was that easy to stop Gawn everyone would do it, max already cops plenty of late hits every week he’s matured as a player and can play through it now

    That's what Libba proposed a few days ago. I hope the umpires read it because it is a free to block someone trying to get to a contest.

    Any WA Demonlanders need a ticket? My cousin in Queensland has one in the hopes that he would be able to go. Long story short he is selling it for face value. $456 (includes the handling fee). He is not looking to make money off it. He would prefer it go to a Demon. PM me your interest and I will get it for you.

    Be positive @Jaded

     

    As soon as the earthquake hit I knew we would win. The only insane thing left to experience in 2021 is a Melbourne premiership. In the bag guys.

    Disagree. Max could be BOG and we still lose. Need more than Max to play well. We could win with Max having an average game too.

    Not a big deal or omen, but Roco tipping Dees and Finey tipping Dogs on Footyology is a great sign. Finey is a hopeless tipper, and Roco is a measured and smart tipper. He knew the Dogs would win last week. Must be 20 ahead this year. Anyway, Go dees.

    My son drew this for my Father’s Day and I found it again today while looking for something else, which I think is a good omen. 
     

    I will take any good omen at this stage.

    Sorry if this has been covered...

    Does anyone know if Steven May trained fully?

    I'm getting nervous, worried that we're keeping up appearances, and no scans is a bad sign...

    Judging by some of the socials GYM our main session was completed a short time ago. 7 sport about to give us some news.

    News said he trained and is fit to play. 
    I highly doubt the media wouldn’t be all over it if he was not fully training or looked hampered. 
    He is a bigger chance to play than Keath I would say.

    If Spargo missed after twisting his ankle it would have to be the worst twisted ankle in the history of recorded medical science. 
    I once twisted my ankle wearing 9cm heels going down stairs and after a few shots I managed to dance on it for 6 hours.
    To be fair I would absolutely need a week off these days if I did anything for 6 hours straight that doesn’t involve lying down, but you know those were peak fitness days.

    I was only comparing them with one another, not in general. Would anyone in the media be in the upper echelons of 590k? And on a consistent basis year by year?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
