Yep...

Rivers - Riv is back


Brayshaws 44% disposal efficiency wasn't overly classy...and I say this as #1 ticket holder to the Gus fan club

Best this year

Hey, hang on.. I thought I was the number one ticket holder of that prestigious establishment! I demand a duel at dawn!!

But like you, I could not give him votes for his game last night - his disposal was poor.Ā

As long as he is kickingit our way I am happy

It looked to me like Max was putting his arms up to mark the ball but not really trying to grab it.As if he is tired of being thumped in the contest week in week out

I love him but have nightmares about his left foot šŸ˜‚

Melbourne Demon’s answer to Andrew Redmayne. I could watch this on replay ALL day!Ā 


It's pretty unlucky to not really have any frontline midfielders who are great kicks..Ā  Brayshaw hasn't exactly raised the standard there, efficiency is probably his biggest weakness.

If our kicking skills in the middle were just a little better we would absolutely dominate teams.Ā  Jealous of the Hawthorn and Brisbane midfields in their special eras, they were hard as nails but nearly all fantastic kicks too.

He was carrying a minor injury apparently.Ā  There was some thought that he might have been a late out.Ā  He seemed to mark ok once the game went on but his mobility was definitely not at its usual standard. Fortunately Jackson stepped up and played one of his better games for the year.

Joeboy - very good analysisĀ 

Dees - into top 4Ā 

Dees - get double chanceĀ 

Oliver - real Brownlow chanceĀ 

Viney - UFC a possibilityĀ 

Goodwin - some new tacticsĀ 

May - more creative kickins

Hibbo - great defensive gameĀ 

Kozzzy - some amazing goalsĀ 

andĀ 

Zorko - you fuc&((&@n [censored]Ā

It does not matter ,getting it/making sure the other mob do notĀ  is the first step, the rest is icing on the cake !!

Is there a league wide stat for the player who kicks the ball out on the full the most often?

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

  • 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?
