    Heeney will come back to the field once he attracts some defensive attention. Most clubs have let him run free as he has been less damaging and not living up to his potential. Still a very good player, but we have seen this type of form in the past where it ends up dropping away.

    I like the coaches award. Most accurate award in my books. AFLPA MVP is garbage. Brownlow is worse.

    It’s interesting that of the top 25 we are only represented by 2 players. Over the past few seasons we have been well over-represented. This year I think it’s reflective of a more evenly distributed team effort.

    Agree with your assessment of most accurate. AFLPA MVP is a worthless popularity contest, Brownlow is a biased AF midfielders award.

    Its seems as though most sides have only 2 club representatives at this stage. Getting 3-4 players on the leaderboard is more the exception than the norm, although Oliver, Viney and May are likely to be only one solid game from coming onto the board.

    I reckon Jackson will be his only challenger. although that said, when D'Arcy is fit again Jackson will likely be moved forward.

    I think Clarry will come home with a tailwind, feel like we’ll end with 3 in the top 15

    my wife and son saw him at the local cannings

    they had the same reaction - "he's HUGE"

    disappointingly, they reported that george in his arms looks like a normal sized child for his age...disappointing

    Max was relatively normal sized until a significant growth spurt in his later teens.  Don't give up on young George just yet 😃

    Do they know how old George is? 
    He appears the same size as Lever’s son who is a good two years older. 
    That kid is gonna be a giant. Fear not.

    I reckon that might be closer to it as how could both coaches not vote for Max

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
