when you dominate a quarter and a half and only kick 4.10 it's going to come back and bite you.

    Mcpherson a nice specky in the pack and kicks truly.  Three in a row for the Doggys now.

    Hibb with 20 disposals putting his hand up for the job on Paps this week

    I love Hibbo. He only knows one way. Straight through.

    For who though Chook?

    Dunstan is more likely for Harmes.  Getting a fair bit of it so far.  Needs to clean up the disposal somewhat

    Melksham. Can’t see why Jordon couldn’t replace Harmes either. Also Hibberd for McVee - going well at Casey. Schache for Max.

    Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.

    Jordon has been quality and  should replace Harmes.

    Hibberd had got a lot of ball sweeping but I am not convinced anymore on him defensively. McVee would be very stiff to not play round 3 being Cameron took one mark and kicked 2 goals on a night when our backs were massively under the pump.  

    Schache has not hurt his chances but interesting that JVR seems to have been preferred to relieve in the ruck behind Bell. Whether to play Schache, JVR or both is still up for grabs based on their second half output.

    Jordon completely dominating in the midfield. Direct replacement for Harmes thanks.

    Hibbo still got it. You'd think he'd come in for McVee who I actually thought battled well. Another senior head down back won't hurt.

    Schache the dominant forward so far. Has already taken 5 marks in the first half and unlucky not to have a couple of goals on board.

    Special mention to Bailey Laurie. Looks complete different player to what he was last year. Class, poise and distributing well.

    Rough end of the half losing some centre clearances and getting beat by some good efforts by the Dogs forwards.

    JJ’s been impressive with his ability to cover the ground and contested work in important contests. Whether he’s truly an inside mid just yet is another question but he’s certainly pushing for a spot and they can move wingers and find room for him. He’s kept it simple.

    Dunstan’s been Dunstan.

    Hibbo’s had some good moments, he’s certainly still a star at this level.

    Howes flashes brilliance just needs to get more playing at half back. K Turner has more work to do on his kicking than I thought previously but he’s very willing 

    Scache’s been the best of the key forwards taking marks and drawing free kicks. JVR’s best has been enticing but he’s made a few unusual errors with his kicking. Has been involved though which is good.

    I’ve really liked the game of Max Gregory aka Fake Bowey.

    Hannan having a pretty mad third term.  Him & Mcpherson bringing the Dogs back into it.

    Holding call against the Doggys in the Square sees JVR get his first to get one back

    • 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?
