    Hoping Viney and Harmes are right to play. Our depth is good, but Dunstan and Melksham are a step down and we need our best up and running to take on Freo. Freo are the best defensive side in the comp this year, so we’ll have our work cut out for us.

    Goody said Harmes would be out 2-3 weeks.

    Harmes was 2-3 apparently. Melk a lock for #200.

    I thought Dunstan was pretty good defensively but sloppy with the ball.

    Not sold on that mate.

    7 touches, 1 tackle. Kicked a nice goal, but was invisible pretty much otherwise.

    Can’t speak for Werridee but I just assumed he was out given he was subbed off. If they mentioned once on the broadcast why Langdon went off, I certainly didn’t hear it.

    That was my impression?

    They said it was ribs, but no elaboration as to the severity.

    Some classic Melk marking contests that resulted in easy marks to North too.

    Harmes out and doubts over Viney, Langdon. Hopefully they’re back.

    None of Melk, Bedford or Dunstan impressed in any way.

    Doubt Salem will be ready. 

    Left field options would be Turner, Deak Smith, Rosman at half back with Gus to the wing. Baker on the wing. Or Andy Moniz-Wakefield.

    Personally I’d really consider a look at Deakyn Smith down back and move Gus back to the wing.

    Yeah I might be wrong with Langdon he may play. Surely Milkshake gets to 200 match winning goal. Thought he was better than Dunstan who is a butcher.

    I agree with the bold bit. He doesn’t anticipate where the teammate will be when his disposal arrives. Consequently his handballs end up behind his teammate. Elementary mistake.

    No thanks Smith doesn't get enough of the ball yet.

    Langdon goes out, Dunstan goes out.

    Bedford in, Viney in.

    Haven't seen any of the game yet because of work but the afl app lists McDonald as 'out' implying a game ending injury. Is that correct and if so anyone know what injury?

    Guessing - But looked like he possibly sprained his ankle twice. Not 100% sure if the same leg, or even if he just twinged the  existing injury the  second time. Reckon he'll be right to go, played out the game.

    He was ok just strapped and got on with it. Same with Petty who looked really sore but played the game out.


    Dunstan out for Viney. We don’t need Dunstan if Viney is right to go as even if Langdon is out Dunstan gives us nothing on the wing.

    Out. Dunstan  

    In. Viney

    ?? Langdon.  We need more run. Consider Baker to bring in 

    3/ 

    ?? Melksham?? Probably stays in to get 200 as Harmes unlikely to be fit and available 

     

    And … Salem hopefully back soon - probably for Swans game

    If we need more run we will use Bedford.

    • 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?
