Not saying it will happen, but on SEN today Dermie suggested trying Tomlinson forward. He was part time coach at GWS when Tommo played there.

    That’s pretty much what the FD I saying to the team…

    Because if they blaze away, Weitering will be BOG.

    Gawn to also rest at FF

    Well, maybe, but the ‘idea’ of that is better the ‘reality’ of that.

    I would prefer Lauren Pearce in the ruck before T-Mac 

    I would have Daisy Pearce in ruck over T-Mac.

    It definitely is. Unless we want to see more hangtime entries this week.

    I thought Grundy was valued at our club??? Those words will haunt Goodwin & could go down as the biggest flop of a trade & only Melbourne could manufacture this! Can’t help injuries but if Gawn is on one leg who will be out back up ruck???

    Tommo in is a bit baffling to me.  Could he play fwd and sit on Weitering?

    Tigers won a premiership with a wingman as a backup ruck.

    I thought he’d be a moral for this week. 
    Someone here mentioned his attitude wasn’t that great post demotion, maybe that alongside the rumoured Sydney deal has something to do with it

    Hibberd sub for mine.

    Jesse Motlop. He'd be in the 22 for suspended Martin.

    All this selection palaver neglects consideration of one thing

    Viney to spend the first quarter committing football acts and wipe out their whole team .

    • 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.
