I want to start enjoying this thread again.

Freo’s start to the season was a false economy.

They’re a top 8 side that was masquerading as a bottom 4 side.

I can see them replacing Adelaide in the top 8 come seasons end.

    They're really not either...

    Their start was a false economy as is their current form.

    They've beaten bottom or banged up teams.

    They sit somewhere around 9 to 12...anything lower is a bonus for us.

    I suggest we kill 2 birds with the one stone this weekend.

    improve our top 4 chances and improve our chances of a high draft pick.

    Just win this game Dees

    Shouldnt throw rocks in glass houses. Forget about the silly draft picks, we have a season to play out.

    Could be death riding demons if they screw up over the next 4 weeks.  No guarantee we'll even make the 8 .

    We'll know soon enough. We have very few injuries far less than other clubs. Even Port had three key players out .

    Port were missing talls on a wet night. They were probably better without them...so I disagree re "key" We were down Sparrow and Petty...perhaps Brown ( unsure of his status now) We also has Oliver injured in the game and Pertracca at half rat power for the whole game. Plus Fritta on altered training now for months. So...we've def had our fair share of injuries and suspensions in 23. Come Sat we'll be down Oliver and Hunter and unsure of what Trac can do. these are pretty big outs.

    I got an idea. Take a shovel and start shovelling soil over this thread.

    You are wasting your energy.

    We can only blame Goodwins lack of control of a list that should be fighting for top 2 week in and week out. We are our worst enemy.

    Close the stupid thread. 

    They were a 15 win season last year that were 20 points off a prelim.

    As if they were ever going to finish in the bottom 6 this year.

    And credit to Luke Jackson for defeating the much ‘vaunted’ Gawn/Grundy on his own.

    Currently picks 15 (2022), 12 and 30 for Jackson after he beat Gawn and Grundy today.

    Peter Bell would be very pleased with himself

    Adelaide win tomorrow and it's back to thank you Peter Bell for a top 10 pick. 🤣

    • 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.
