This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

I'm nervous

except for the last 6 years against them.

    Who is the sub?

    I want them all to play

    Hawks aren’t as terrible as a lot of people think and Mitchell is a smart coach who will do everything to disrupt our game…:that said you’d expect class to win out in the end and us to get home by 25-35 points

    Some trivial posting.

    I noticed that the spider cam was not at the Colly Saints game.

    At our last G game, the techs game out at half-time to adjust it.

    Read somewhere that the broadcast vision was fuzzy.

    Maybe the ball that hit it in a previous game, has caused problems. 

    Spider may be down again.

    May to shut down Lewis. they don’t have many tall threats after that

    midfield is developing but young

    backline average. 

    we would need to have an off day to lose this

    Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him?

    I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

    I hope lever performs better today. He's been a bit lack lustre the first few games.

    who are we thinking for the sub? out of the 5 below it’s a tough call  

    1. WINDSOR
    2. HORE
    3. Oliver
    4. Petty
    5. T Mac

     

    I reckon Windsor if the sub has to be from the “Thursday night selected“ bench.

    Otherwise Sparrow.

    That's a big bet on Petty's fitness.

    Not sure if I like it. Could bite us.

    Like this a lot. Stretch the Hawks with attacking talls, was alway unlikely we’d need TMac and Hore as tall backs. Plus keeps Windsor’s speed on the park.

    Sitting next to a hawks fan on the tram . He says his Hawks WERE terrible last week.

    Go dees

    Great man to bring in ... sitting on the bench, watching and learning the opposition weaknesses, relieving Petty after a first hit-out, doing his thang to the Hawks' forwards, some merit in the ideas ...

    • 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.
