Agree, Oliver number 1 for me.

football media prefer trac, because he has the looks and is more charismatic and likeable. 
 

 

I disagree, Clarry is an awkward  but likeable soul who may not have a "public" persona that suits the media but what you get is authentic and honest. Too me that makes him likable and in some ways,  unusual.

    I firmly believe that he is honest as the day is long, loyal to the nth degree and I think he will improve his media presence with confidence. He is also humble and unassuming, and this last comment is from someone who claims to know him quite well. He is also a very driven person who sets high standards of personal integrity. I would love to meet him one day! He is definitely my favorite player! :D

    Likeable for us, not so much for opposition supporters.

    You are right PF, I was pleasantly surprised in Trac's performance in front of the camera over the last 12mths. He too exhibits all the qualities you spoke about. More kudos to JT and the recruiting team for sticking fat with the philosophy around good citizens with honesty and integrity. Nice guys don't necessarily come last and the willingness to sacrifice for the team success is essential in building the "team" we have become. Goodwin must also receive some acknowledgement for this ethos. I cannot think of a time where I have been prouder of this Club and that's not just because they have ended 57yrs of pain.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
