I couldn’t bring myself to vote last weekend and I can only muster one name today and that’s Gawn 

I was a tad irrational - nibbler did a great job on daicos today

    Unfortunately, this was another underwhelming performance by the Dees, where too much was left to too few.  I hate trying to vote in these circumstances, but this is my crack at it:      
    6.   ANB  -  the coaches gave him one of the toughest assignments in football, and he excelled, in his usual ‘trademark’, no fuss way.  His outstanding season continues!

    5.   Gawn  -  a typical Max game, both in the ruck, and especially in the back half.  Worked his butt off all day, but he can’t do it all on his own.

    4.   JVR  -  our only forward to provide a legitimate target, and convert more often than not.  Only a kid, but based on today’s performance, he’s coming of age quickly.

    3.   Pickett  -  a ‘live wire’, both running through the centre and up forward. We always looked better when he had the ball, but his missed shots at goal at crucial times, were costly.

    2.   Rivers  -  worked tirelessly trying to hold back the ‘avalanche’, but was sometimes overwhelmed by their numbers.  Watching on TV, I thought he was trying to combine his usual running HB role, with that of Rick Lever the interceptor, which is a very big ask!

    1.  Salem  -  another who battled hard against the pace and precision of C’wood’s forward entries, and one of very few Dees who didn’t regularly fluff disposals under pressure.

    TMac probably warrants mention for his steady game under pressure.

    • 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?
