Surprised not to see a thread on this, but clearly AFL finals have taken precedence this week. Hopefully the AFLW side can have a big win against a pretty underwhelming GWS side to keep us comfortably inside the top 4.

Greater Western Sydney v Melbourne at Manuka Oval, Sunday September 10, 5.05pm AEST

    • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 02 vs GWS
     

    A little background:

    Melbourne's Manuka win-loss record: First game at Manuka
    GWS's Manuka win-loss record: 2-4
    Melbourne's win-loss record against GWS: 4-1 (Melbourne last played GWS in R6 2022A, a 37-point win)
    GWS's 2023 formline: 0-1 (a 5-point loss to Sydney)

    Will be interesting to see who comes in for Fitzsimon, in a classic 'mystery injury of the week' scenario!

    Very impressive performance last time out after been challenged in the first half. Now that we've blown the cobwebs off i think you'll see a slicker Dees this weekend.

    Looking forward to seeing Chaplin run out for the first time this year. Loved her attack on the footy last year.

    AFLW is a nice diversion from the finals. Will help take my mind off last night's shemozzle. 

    Dees by 35 points

    I think the biggest problem here is going off into noddy land and forgetting about footy,

    I’m expecting another powerful win to stamp our authority on the competition.  Dees by 30+ points at chilly Manuka Oval (which has MCG dimensions).  
    PS.  I need a decent win to overcome my ongoing ‘Thursday Night Blues’.

    Paxy is a big out, but I loved the last half last week. We looked so dynamic. Excited to see if we can keep that form going.

    • 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.
