Welcome to the big leagues. 

An excellent education for the young guy provided Dustbin doesn’t do too much damage

Interesting to hear comments on structure

Sounds as though they are resting Gawn/Grundy up forward rather than on the bench.

How is the Brown and the resting ruckman working out. Last season Gawn was excellent early season at protecting Brown's run for the mark

Brown all at sea - like Sampson after his haircut.

    I am unsure how much effort the Tiges are potting up at times, but our system between wing and inside F50 is looking as good as it has ever in Goodwin's time as coach.

    Nibbler, Sparrow, Harmes and Spargo are all showing serious gut running.  

    Surely the Tiges are not this rubbish?

    Our backline is epic.

    You know what I've noticed today. We aren't just bombing it in our forward line or into the pocket. We are lowering the eyes & passing it lace out to a leading forward.

    Slamming players into the turf after a mark in a practice game. Lovely Richmond 🙄

    Gawn’s goal kicking is a genuine 20/80 😂

    Honestly you never know what's going to happen when Gawn goes for goal. I just see it as a bonus when he kicks them

    How many shots between gawn and Grundy? Have to be 10 nearly

     


    Richmond are potential ‘Premiership Contenders’ according to Gerard Healy. I think he has said that at least 3 times on Foxtel during this match. What is he smoking? 🤣

    Definitely more measured with the ball movement. 

    What's with all the repeat posts?

    Good to see we have allowed Richmond to have two membership vans at our home game, at our home facility. No signage for us. But hey, none of that matters apparently 

    There’s a demon shop next to the Richmond shop?

    lines here are massive tho, lots of cash left on the table for beer and food sales 


    How was that a Gawn 3rd goal? I though spargo kicked it into the post?

    I  quite often get repeat posts in a game day thread but today is another level.

    Still when you're winning I quite like reading things 2 or 3 times

    anyone catch Van Rooyen’s game earlier? Couldn’t have been any worse than BBB so far..?

    If Fritta is out, why wouldn't they play him?

    • 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?
