Hawthorn reserves player Brett Lovett played well for a few years at the Dees

Easily the most underrated player to go around for the Dees in the last 50 years.

    I think its a good sensible move. Need some depth and experience to replace what we have lost in jordan and harmes. Haven't really addressed our obvious key fwrd needs but im sure they tried.  I think the grundy experiement really has cost us a year in terms of geting in the ears of a key fwrd, either last trade period or this one. Dont think we wont still try and move up the draft board

    Essentially we swapped Billings for Harmes, he offers better kicking skills which I dont mind.

    His brother Glenn was a gun mid. Not sure how good Robert was.

    Pretty sure we played all three Elliots in the same side more than once.

    People likening this to when we got Hunter, feels more to me like when we got Melksham. I wasn't thrilled at all at the time but look what we got.

    Well we didn’t use the pick from the Dogs - we used our own, but I get your drift. 

    Let’s hope he/we can get that body right.

    Young? He's 28!

    Anyway, let's see if he can at least get on the park. He seems to have broken every part of his body over the past decade.

    James Frawley played 100 games and won a flag with Hawthorn.

    I still think he played most of his best footy with us though

    Robert was good & had a couple of great years for us. Was picked for the state side while he was with us.

    Im in my 40's, I would love to be 28 again!

    I dont mind it, we need a mid/fwd with ball skills.

    A premiership season with spargs and Billo leading the afl for goal assists is going to be so enjoyable

    Didn’t realise Dave Misson was Head of Football at St Kilda – is that not out of his wheelhouse a little for a ‘fitness’ guy? (Happy to be corrected)

    • 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.
