Clearly we’re the richest team in the land

    Why not? Give him every chance to play. He is obviously very close 

    He is the best defender in the Competition

    "Why fly him up then?"

    May will be in the coaches box again.

    Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped.

    Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

    Grundy is the main man tonight. Lot of teams have to get used to him in the forward line.

    Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

     

    By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

    Given you’re at the game, I’ve got the pork belly on for you.

    You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

    Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

    Every coach would plan for and around May. Him not playing will change their plans.

    They were never going to risk him. I thought it was laughable that they’ll let our third most important player, aged 30, only have a week off with a calf strain. 
    If we win tonight I also don’t think they’ll risk him next week. It’s a very very long season.

    Don’t agree. 

    He will play when he is ready, whether we win this week or not, whether we’re flying or struggling. 

    For one, next week he can hold Buddy goalless for a third straight match.

    I wonder if they looked back on that final to see what Brisbane did and what we did wrong.

    Also wonder if they had a look to see what port did right to thrash them last week

    Don't worry folks. Tommo is an able replacement. Our system will hold firm.

    Goody spoke of that during the week.

    I mean of course they won’t risk him if he isn’t right. But I think if we win and he is right to go they might still choose to give him one more week just to be extra extra cautious.

    Such a nice feeling knowing we’ve got Tommo as a replacement.

    The club’s depth is going to pay dividends come finals.

    When May is ready to go, he will play.

    Next week Lance is going to play..

    I’m nervous. Not going to lie. 
    Brisbane are a hell of a lot better than they showed last week. They are also a much much better team than the Dogs.

    If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter.

    • 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.
