I'm looking forward to this game. I assume BBB will be playing along with Harrison Petty. I'm particularly keen to see how JVR plays given he was a late out last week.  I don't think the side has been named as yet.

    Hope BBB is iced after two quarters.

    Why would you ice him after 2 quarters? He won't have played for 2 weeks and Melbourne don't play again until Next Saturday. The Melbourne approach beginning with Darren Burgess and continuing with Selwyn Griffith is all about playing through niggles and encouraging resilience.

    Can we safely assume that #56's nickname is "Mr."

    And #69 reads to me like he's absent without leave ("AWOL").

    As an aside, isn't it great that our Senior players wear their MFC jumper number when playing in the Casey side? It really annoyed me when they didn't .I assumed it symptomatic of the old arrangement which showed that integration between the MFC and Casey Scorpions wasn't smooth sailing.

    Still waiting to hear just why he missed last week

    and waiting to hear about the nature of Brown's injury.  Apparently something behind play (predictably covered up by the second rate excuse for a comp, the VFL) - some have said king hit, other say ribs?

    Yes, Brown and Goonan both out and it’s all quiet as to what happened to Mitch Brown. Another out from the Round 3 side is Jake Melksham.

    It wasn't a king hit, but it was behind the play and not called for

    Has Ellison played back previously, I only remember him last year as a promising forward. If he has, has he shown much?

    Was a little bit surprised to see Howes named as an emergency for Thursdays game. Be interested to see how he goes on Saturday and if he can really put his name up in the coming weeks.

    Been quietly impressed with Laurie so far as a mid/half forward. Think he's got the ability to crack a debut sooner rather than later.

    Looking forward to watching this via the afl website. I grew up in ‘Willie’ in the sixties and Saturday afternoons were either spent with dad at the G watching Melbourne or with schoolmates following the Seagulls in the VFA. I was even part of their cheer squad at one point, complete with yellow and blue streamers. Character building - that biting cold wind off the sea and Willie always seeming to lose - but incredibly happy days when I look back.

    Certainly should be easy for a strong Demons team tomorrow.

    Yes young ‘Wuol’ best keep this swept under the rug. According to a recent report in the local rag an associate of Mac Andrew. Given an earlier ‘sniper’ draft bid at the northern AFL franchise ‘club’ academy.

    Still never heard if the bloke who was involved in the Mitch Brown incident was cited

    Which begs the question: why is Moniz-Wakefield wearing 29 for Casey? What would happen if Hunt was playing too?

    • 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.
