We must leave no stones unturned if we are to to achieve this including asking IMO Hawkins, Isaac Smith, Sam Reid and Jack Ginnivan if any or either are keen to join us on the ride. If you don't ask you don't get!!

Yes, we do need to strengthen our list but I'm not sure any of these players are a realistic option to do it.

Tommy Hawkins is only one step behind TMac & BBB, and this step is quite likely to be in 2024. We don't need another crippled KPF.

Isaac has retired...he made it pretty clear that the country lifestyle & Cats coaching philosophy was a big part of him playing on there. Sure, ask the question but I don't think he sees city life in his future plans.

Sam Reid is an interesting call. I really rate Sam as a player & a fit Sam Reid would be a huge asset. He would have been for Sydney in the 2022 GF & that's the problem. You very rarely get a fit Sam Reid.

As for Ginnivan, I just don't think he's very good. He is a very lucky premiership player who offered nothing on the big stage. A fit Adams would have played ahead of him.

I rarely see you question anything. Or even engage in any sort of robust footy discussion. You just seem like the happy-go-lucky Melbourne supporter ala Rhino who sits there face-palming comments they don't like. 

How boring. 

I really hope you are one of the supporters that Kate Roffey mentioned in her brilliant speech. You know the one that has a membership (because the quicker we become a big club then we don’t have to travel to Geelong etc )…the one who is an obnoxious supporter (but not Collingwood obnoxious) but makes a big  noise at a game so that maybe we get the 50/50 free kick or is it just easier to hide behind a moniker & make quite dismissive comments about our club in general . Steven May spoke the absolute truth..he didn’t whinge..he didn’t sook ..we are a better team. Doesn’t always mean things fall your way. Of interest was the comments made by Roffey ..Goodwin..Gawn to name a few about “umpiring decisions”..amazed you haven’t jumped on that yet

  • 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?
