Was wearing special protection, I noted?

    I thought he looked hampered in the first half, and then played one of the best last quarters you’ll ever see from an inside mid.

    I’ll back him in, even with one hand.

    It was really obvious at times before and after the game last night how much he was favouring the hand. Didn’t shake right hand after game, avoided using the hand in warm ups. Hopefully he gets through Thursday ok.

    I would rest him this week if there is any real problem - and it seems that there is. The Adelaide mids are not threatening. He is too valuable to risk.

    I would say that in order to get the tick of approval to wear the hand guard, he would need scans to show the AFL he needs it. And of course they would need to check that playing with the injury is not going to cause further or permanent damage, and it’s just about pain management. 
     

    We absolutely need him against Brisbane, so I would make that game a priority and give him a rest against Adelaide if it’s a case of one or the other.

    I propose the collection to be auctioned off at the Best and Fairest. Quite an artistic piece, really. Turn them into a photobook; each one with match details and a highlight photo on the opposite page of the magic hands at play.

    Can they get a premiership cup into one of those scanners?

    With a short break, I’d consider giving him a week off and prepare him for Brisbane. We have good depth, Sparrow and Salem could cover his midfield time. Kossie also an option with AMW to come in for his debut.

    If it’s not getting worse then he’s still better than whoever would come in to replace.

    Yes i agree with this... bring Sparrow & Kozzy's CBAs up.  Maybe bring in Moniz to take some of the Kozzy forward minutes and to give him a taste at the top level.

    I wrote in the post match thread he's my favourite demon ever but i wanted him subbed off because he was only clearly playing with one hand until he just did what he does in the last quater.

    He wasn't right.

    I reckon if we subbed olhim off we would have lost.

    I hope he's ok.

    Maybe rest him against the Crows

    He was not quite right against Port but still dominated in the last quarter. Not sure we would have won without him. 

    Can't take the Crows lightly. When do we ever have an easy game against them at AO? They'll be getting the blowtorch treatment all this week so will come out fighting. It's going to be a tough game.

    Clarry has to and will play.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
