    Hi Dazzle they only mentioned that everyone got through the hit out bar Harmsey. So sounds like Grundy will be ready to go if picked and I hope that he and JJ come straight into the team.!!

    HUN says Brodie did little, virtually nothing when forward. Schache even less. Harmes did his hammy. Disco went forward and did OK. Spargo the standout.

    One player who does look for a target kicking into the fifty. Something we’re crying out for.

    Roo will be suspended who else is tall and has been know to kick a goal. He is also ten times better  ruckman than Roo.

    I said it in the pre game, the podcast, everywhere. I did not want this afterthought on whether we could have used Grundy or not.

    Don't think it would have been a massive difference but geez.

    Agree

    would have nullified Cox and freed max 

     

    lost at selection again

    Freed max to do what, get 40 disposals instead of only 27?

    (BTW, Cox had 9 disposals and 2 marks ... not exactly game-winning)

    He led the AFL in this regard in '21

    We simply don't have a top line key forward to bring in next week. What Spargo is, or can be, is someone who can hit a team-mate in the forward 50 on the chest more than anyone else on our list. 

    To NOT include him would be our biggest risk.

    Probably Turner or Tommo up forward and Spargo for Laurie.

    Could you be really adventurous and play AMW?

    Get more disposals and kick goals

    cox’s incidental acts like taking two Mfc players out and allowing a pies mark and goal don’t count. Things like that

    I know Max plays his best footy when he’s the sole ruckman, but it’s a big ask for him to ruck solo for four successive games should we get to the GF.

    Grundy in means Max plays, say, 50% forward. Would certainly test both Blues and Lions(?) defenders.

    A bonus if Grundy could snag a goal or two.

    Grundy should come in and share ruck duties.
    Gawn was immense in the ruck. But now he has to sacrifice for the team to get the most out of someone else possibly at the (hopefully minor) expense of his own game.

    Can he do it? From his rhetoric, he will ask Goodwin for Grundy to play - I just hope he knows that what that means for him. 

    Those that want the Grundy Experiment to continue into next year - this is it, and it is on Max to make it work.

    Would be a big risk to try Disco forward but he is mobile and can take a grab - can see him adding more as a forward than Grundy tbh

    Wether he plays or not he will not be at the demons next year. With Roo out we need another tall and there is no one else.

    • 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?
