How come when you play on a Monday there seems to be no timeframe for naming a team? Given the games' tomorrow I thought they would have had to announce a team by late yesterday... 

It’s [censored]. It’s probably just so that Pathetic lames TV station 7 can name it at the news.

    Clarrie clearly had other things on his mind. I asked him how are you and he said, “starving!” 😁

    Speaking of a painful end, I just sat in a puddle on a bench. Not drops of water… an actual puddle. And now my ‘end’ is threatening to join the Let’s Deprive Her Of All Feeling list. The things one does for one’s Club 😑

    How’s the hair holding up WCW?

    Bloody hell it looks cold! I’m at the airport about to fly down, I haven’t packed for the conditions…..

    Here’s how cold it is… I’m 100% a winter person and I’m soooo cold right now. And that’s with the appropriate clothing. So, in short… you’re screwed.

    No it’s to give Goody enough time to reinforce his house with 6in steel cladding in readiness for when he names McAdam and Petty. 🙄

    Meanwhile it's the first sunny day in Sydney in almost two weeks!  Perfect weather to *checks notes* ...be stuck inside packing to move houses

    Is moving house your hobby or something? You seem to do it every five minutes. Here’s an idea: next time you move house… move back to Melbz. 😃

    Disco was in a particularly good mood today. Very buoyant and happy. Idk if that has anything to do with selections though, but it was nice to see.

    Ah, I was just in the area, had I known training was on I would have dropped past.

    I suspect it's in JvR, Howes, Billings and Laurie.

    Out: Hunter, Tomlinson, McAdam and Woewodin (may have missed him in the training video).

    I'd be surprised if those doing the captains run are burning down to Casey fields for a game.

    Hunter is a definite out, maybe JvR for Hunter only.

    Au contraire, given I'm not the organising type!  But the rental market in Syd was so bad I only got a 6 mth lease.  Now I'm moving to a forever* home which should put a stop to all this silliness!  Still going to be near the SCG though 😁  it's just not the weekend if you don't hear the stadium sirens!

    *at least until I eventually move back to Melb

    Think I spotted Howes, Turner, Billings, Laurie and K Brown in those videos. Maybe k Brown as carry over emergency?

    Special thanks to @WalkingCivilWar

    Thanks once again WCW for your generous offerings.

    I wonder if that means that none of these will be at Casey with multiple hold over emergencies?  And, of course, yet another bloody bye next week so some poor buggers will not get a gig for 3 weeks or so.  Not good enough this as a "support" or "development" competition.

    WCW - can you recall seeing any of last week's team (other than Hunter) NOT there?

    Did any of the apparent extras seem to dash for a car to head to Casey?

    While I was taking this pic Salo said, “There she is.” Idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 😅

    Maysi looks like he’s holding his left hammy😧.

    Then again half our team looks to have an injury looking gait. Maybe it’s to confuse the opposition.

    i reckon if we bring another tall in we need to drop one. we’d be too tall against the pies

    I reckon It will be:

    Out: Hunter, McAdam, Tomlinson

    In: Laurie, JvR, Howes

    Tomlinson had a shocker last week and the Pies have a very short forward line so I think Howes will come in for him.

    Anyone but Laurie, please. Has shown nothing and doesn't look at all like a player who would rise on a stage like King's Birthday.

    Have similar feelings about Howes, had some shaky moments in bigger games while he was in the team.

    Unfortunately we don't really have any other options. Billings is just as bad as Laurie.

    Thanks WCW greatly appreciated, it looks very wet and cold at Gosh’s great effort on your part.😁

    Give Howes a chance he's only a kid and he's also done some good things he just needs experience.

    The smile's hard to read, W. I'd err on the side of caution, nice boy that Christian is, notwithstanding.

    • 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.
