    I’m happy to admit I’m on the Giants train and will pleased if they snag this years flag. 
     

    Their game is so good to watch - wish it was red and blue guernseys. 

    With you 100%.

    Also, Hogan was "ill disciplined" but we're about to recruit McAdam and recruited Hunger lol

    I know we got good value for all of them but gee whiz, you can't ignore the common denominator of forwards wanting to leave.

    and Hogan smashed it at Freo didn’t he?

    the kid wasn’t right and wanted to leave. 

    zero blame on the club

    Port are lucky to only be 6 goals down.

    Yes, Giants are on a Demons scoring streak, keeping Port in the game, just about.

    There's a lot of criticism about Goodwin but I don't think anyone here is crazy enough to think he should be sacked.

    Hinkley definitely shouldn't have lasted as soon as he has.

    I’ve been iffy on Goodwin for a while. I think the club needs really clear hurdles for any extension beyond the current one. 
     

    I think we start with some fresh voices underneath him though and see what happens 

    Can’t afford to wait too long unless one is confident of finding the next Oliver and tracc

    GWS is one class above PA. In my view, I consider Pies, PA, and Syd to be on a similar level, while Melb, Carlton and Bris are better than them. GWS should beat the Pies comfortably next week, and the umpires won't be able to help the Pies much. I wouldn't be surprised if GWS won the Premiership.

    I know Goody maybe feeling it right now but this is a summary of Hinkleys finals record with Port:

    2014 - 10-1 and two games clear on top of the ladder after Round 12, didn't even make top 4.
    2020 - On top of the ladder literally every round of the home and away season, lost home prelim.
    2021 - Lost home prelim by 71 points against injury hit fifth placed team who went on to get smacked by 12 goals in the Grand Final.
    2023 - Three games clear in the top 2 with seven rounds to go. Won't even make a prelim.

    • 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.
