Every finals campaign, someone cements themselves in footy folklore. Who will it be in 2023?

My guess is Gus for the mighty Dees. He was pivotal in the 21 Grand Final and I recon he is building to something special. 
 
Who from the Dees or the other 7 clubs is going to produce a September master class?

    Rivers, with Salem to find some touch.

    JVR to enter folklore with a kick after the siren to seal the win. Preferably from directly in front of Bay M8.

    Judd McVee to become immortalised like Shane Ellen.

    Trac or Fritsch will go berserk this finals series, and Rivers is now settled in his role and in ripping form. So those three at least.

    Remember to tell Max to choose the right side of the field when he wins the coin toss

    Petracca will step up again. He was looking very determined and dominant in the second half against the Swans. He’s a weapon. It’s like a switch flicked and he was like righto the real stuff starts now, similar to Dusty firing up in finals in years past. 

    Might be another Norm Smith coming his way!

    They'd have to rename the Dom Sheed pocket to the JVR pocket 😉

    Rivers will make people stand up and take notice. He has increasingly been slicing through traffic at top speed coming out of D50 and it’ll stand out.

    Viney for his pure will to win. I think his sublime GF performance gets overlooked, but he was integral.

    Also McVee to get plaudits for doing a job on some big name players.

    • 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?
