Never mind Dogs Lions and Swans. The Suns will beat them next weekend.

    Their next 16 games are mostly against top 4 contenders or teams that played finals last year.

    I can't see them winning more than 3 or 4 of those. Maybe 5 best case scenario.

    I wonder if my theory now has some merit.

    It was that other players are unhappy about team mates being traded to fit LJ in and jealousy at his contract.

    This death riding has already been a lot of fun. A top 5 pick in a super draft seems genuinely attainable. The Jackson trade, combined with the Grundy acquisition could become an amazing move, if it isn’t already

    Crows will give Carlton their first proper test of the year next weekend. I'll be tipping the Crows.

    Freo reek of Melbourne 2019. Long season ahead for them.

    This deathride is going all the way. 

     

    That I thought at the end of their 2022 season

    Say we get pick 5 from Freo, is there a chance we actually trade up to get pick 1?

    I am assuming we could stack pick 5, pick 23 and our own second round pick?

    Great result, didn’t watch the game. Is the player we are linked to Henry? He is copping an absolute Pasting on their big footy board.

    We have our own first rounder as well, we are in a very good position.

    Yes it is, and I only watched the 4th quarter & I agree, he didn’t look great

    He was very poor ball in hand. Butchered all his possies.

    No chance Hawks are giving up pick 1.

    You wouldnt want to be a football personality in Perth. Coach Longmuir is now copping it.  Heats off Jacko for a few weeks..Maybe. 

    Who would want to live in that environment. Longmuir wont read the papers tomorrow he might choke on the chocolate egg.

    The only way we will get pick #1 is if Freo finish last. That is highly unlikely.

    They're in such a fish bowl that I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Freo coach this year. As long as they don't go after Yze.

    Not highly unlikely. Definitely possible. They play Hawks twice. On current form, the Hawks win those games

    But they won’t. They’re tanking hard.

    People in the future will look at 2023 in their history book and ask "Why did the Dees receive Priority Picks after winning the flag?"

    Our 2023 draft picks based on last year's finishing positions are: 

    Melbourne 13, 14, 32, 33, 88

    I'd be ecstatic if that turned into 1, 18, 19, 38 & ? On Fremantle's revealed form those picks 13 & 32 are going to be a lot higher. I hadn't quite appreciated how easy a draw Fremantle had early. I assume that as they finished 6th their remaining draw is pretty tough. Which 6 teams do they play twice?

    • 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?
