    Can we please avoid the early injury.

    We have already had the pre game injury.

    Might give watching this one a miss to be honest…I go to every game live in Vic but for whatever reason just get too stressed out off the TV

    That might be partly due to the way they video it these days.  There are numerous close shots where you only see the ball and maybe 2 players. The ball heads out of shot and you have no idea if it is a brilliant pass to a team mate or a disaster or whatever.  This heghtens the tension and I'm sure it is deliberate by Fox/7 for that reason. Certainy is not of interest to those who want to follow the game.

    Not really... he's been pretty poor this year post injury.

    Had it not been for Salem's injury I would have dropped him for AMW.

    God I’d love an upset in this. Fox are giving us no chance.

    I’ve taken us on the line to get within 34pts plus all of May Viney and Rivers for 20 posessions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 😂

    And WCW, as an ex Melbournite who cycled rain hail and shine from Sandy to work in Richmond every day, who has been living not far south of the Gabba in the Northern Rivers since 2011, the nights are cold. I’ve a neck warmer on, 3 layers and keep muttering about underfloor insulation for our house risen on poles. I’m in thermal fleece tops on the bike at present! Brrrrrrr

    It's a big lions love in on Fox pregame show. Jonathon Brown , al Lynch. Ashcroft is back. Talking top 4 🤮 love to knock these p ricks off

    Agreed, big part of our structure downback. Especially as we are playing 4 KPDs in the back. We will miss him.

    I think it’s genius selection plan - tall defence to more than combat their strength.

    With a flood defence cover for ground ball.

    Lots of space for Kossie to play huge.

    Can’t wait !

    The boys appear to be 'ON' tonight.

    Zero expectations so nothing to lose.

    Just loosen the schackles a little Simon and aside from basic defensive structures behind the ball, no + ones early FCS and manic pressure when we don't have the pill.... let the boys play footy mate.

    We just might get close and even pull off a miracle win subject to the above.

    My prediction Is the Lions will score 5+ goals in q1 3-4 in the first 10 mins and that’ll be the game they won’t let us get closer than that margin. Can’t see a blow out.

    Unbelievable. I had to check and make sure that we were actually playing the lions tonight.

    I’m kind of pumped.

    Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?!

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    • 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.
