the Bont is clearly the best most complete player in the league. 

Apologies to Clarry and Trac. Diacos is a gun but not top 3 yet

    I agree in terms of completeness and an ability to dominate midfield and forward

    Trac isn’t bad either tho and he has one thing Bont doesn’t have, which is a Norm Smith

    Congratulations, they’ll beat a bottom 4 side. Why are they even in this position against them?

    Whatever happens today the Hawks won’t be easy to beat for the rest of the season.

    This game is why the MCG is one of the great stadiums in the world. The atmosphere is electric.

    We are very lucky to have the G.

    The surprising form of Hawks and WCE should be a warning to us NOT to be in anyway complacent tomorrow - though, granted, Kangaroos are not birds of prey.

    I'm glad Max hasn't been tested.

    His Brownlow favouritism must be taking a nose dive now with Bonts game last night and the fact that he hasn’t polled a vote in the last month.

    According to the umpires he’s polled 20 votes in the last month. One per touch 🙄

    Good to see Hawks showing their wares. We won’t be taking them lightly in a couple of weeks.

    A good team starts strongly, can hold the lead; once behind, able to give a quick response; or come from a long way back to win a game in an empty stadium, like we did in Rd 23 in 2021. Collinwood is very much questionable in my opinion.

    • 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?
