Danger is really if OBrien dominates the ruck.  I was expecting a 7-8 goal win but with Weid and Mitch Brown in the ruck (god help us), I’ll settle for a win.

    I just want to see high energy levels and good work ethic from Weed and Mitch Brown today

    If we win, we're definitely in the premiership window, and if we don't we don't deserve to be...*

    And if it does go our way the post match entertainment is only a few steps away too 😉

    Yes, most certainly. Very easy to celebrate in this town. 
    “Lady Drinks” can add up very quickly so you need to keep a close eye on the reciepts!!

    The only thing that concerns me is the inside info Burgess has on our player stengths/weakeness, game structures etc. 

    Crows will be all out to get a fast start.  We will need to be alert early for new tactics, after all they surprised us with a winning game plan last year, without Burgess. 

    If we can get the fast start, kick straight and take the crowd noise out we will be well on our way.

    Had hoped this would be a % booster and we win by the 6-8 goals.  Now thinking a win of 3-4 goals, even without a recognised ruckman.  A game to bank the 4 points and move on.

    Yep, I'm happy to keep our percentage as healthy as it is and bank the 4 points.

    Where is everyone else going to watch the match? If anywhere. I'm going to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    I’ll be watching in a beautiful hilltop town called Belvès, in the Dordogne, France. Go Demons!

    Oh, I’m sure I’ll see the game. The question is… from where? Front row on flogger/Giant Fritta head duty, or from the local lockup (D & D). I’m loud and proud as it is. + alcohol = “security!”

    😁

    I’ll be watching at Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club. It hasn’t stopped raining since we arrived and it’s bloody freezing as well. GO DEES!

    I'll be hoping it's front row.

    AFL web site is useless. No late changes so Jackson is playing. 

    Twitter Fox Footy is saying Jackson replaced by M Brown

     

    Sholl and Tomlinson are the medi subs

    Melbourne Instagram confirmed no Jackson. Brown in and Tomlinson sub.

    I’d have that in reverse given Mitch Browns last 2 games. But I hope he shows more intensity today or at least some intensity!!

    • 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.
