Criticism of Harmes' game, after fronting for Casey in abysmal conditions, says a whole lot more about the critic than it does about Harmes!

    Howes is clean with his pick ups and moves beautifully. He will be a ripper when he gets strong enough to play AFL. 

    Ditto. I think Howes will be a very good addition with another pre season

    I think you might find that modern methods of training and preparation of players has advanced in the past decade or so. He will be rested and ready for Friday night’s game if required.

    Well if our AFL MC are looking to go with a second tall forward next week, Weid was the one to put his hand up in tough conditions today.

    I didn't see today's game, but I don't think Goody will so quickly forgive Weid for his last AFL outing. If he is picked, he must be the forward leading up to the wing, and BBB must stay deeper.

    Maybe just bring Weid in for Brown and keep the current set up. Brown isn’t offering much with his one arm in the air mark attempts and running under the ball all the time. At least Weid has more potential atm

    His skills just don’t suit our game style. He isn’t a bad footy player, he just isn’t a pack busting, contested marking forward that we need/want him to be. 

    He would be serviceable at a number of clubs that have faster ball movement.

    Ah Now Billy let me tell you something, Dazzle Davey is one of the most Astute, if not the most astute poster on Demonland. He knows the game and is always on the money. Show some respect young man!

    Won’t play no matter what the conditions were today Mr. Leg. His only chance of a game for the remainder of this year is if we lose both ruckman.

    BBB, Joel Smith, Melksham and Kozzi - with a resting ruckman - time for some real synergy with Tracca at the ready shallow forward and midfield.

    Absolutely NO, NO, NO! Weid leaves us short a key player in every contest - and does not make the contest a mobile one. Prefers to be brushed aside for a free kick or peripheral spectator positionl

    Significantly, in my opinion. Goody has mentioned previously mentioned that he will be under continuous management for the rest of his career.

    • 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.
