Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

    Looking forward to it. Train in from the SE suburbs has a fair few fans on it. Hope the crowd is strong. Go dees!

    And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

    No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

    An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

    What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

    Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

    Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

    Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

    McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

    Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

    Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

    Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

    Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

    Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

    Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

    Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

    I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

    The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

    Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

    Laurie the sub.

    Turner starting.

    Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

    Good luck young fella!

    • 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?
