I've heard MFC's interest has simmered due to his tribunal cultural issues 

Yes MFC should come out and say this behaviour doesn’t sit well with “our culture” 😀

    I know all of the arguments, I just don't agree that torso bumps that result in an unforeseen concussion should be penalised.

    I accept I hold a minority view.

    I know what you mean but the boundaries have shifted. 
    It’s the same as saying about a sling, tackle, ”I didn’t tackle him high. He hit his head on the ground.”

    These days that sort of contact causing a concussion just cannot be classified as unforeseen.

    Straight to the tribunal, but it has been deemed as careless rather than intentional.

    The horse has probably bolted on this one, but what an addition he could've been to our club.

    60 meter spear passes from half back, or threading the needle with inside 50 targets. Exactly the attributes we're crying out for.

    I don't think the horse has bolted but could be wrong.

    Funny, when Melbourne where the set destination, it was 2 first round picks based on Cal's Gettable podcast. Now that we are out of the picture and the Blues maybe a destination, its just 1 first round pick @ 12.

    I wouldn't completely rule this out yet.

    I’ve seen the clip a couple times and it just looks like a really good hard bump with no head high contact (there might have been but I can’t see any).

    Yeah I can’t make up my mind on the incident. I like Houston, just saw he copped 5 weeks.

    Yeah I’m the same. A concussed player and ‘duty of care’ guarantees he’s gone even though it’s just looks to be a well executed hard bump.
     

    Oh wow, I thought they would have given him 4 so there’s a chance he could make the Granny. Maybe that will be the case after the appeal.

    5 weeks is pretty standard for that type of action. There was no need to bump, he chose to and the player was knocked out.

    0 weeks for Maynard.

    I see what they did there.

    Ahhhh it was graded as high contact so looks like he did make contact with the head.

    This year is very different to the past 19 before it. Webster got 7 or 8 for his bump.

    Sam Powell Pepper got 4 earlier in the year and his wasn’t as bad as this one.

    • 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?
