Starting to really like Turner forward. Good level of mongrel, has the best agility of our usual tall forwards. He and JVR are a good combo to build upon.

Turner’s best asset as a forward will be/is his mobility.

    Salem has no quickness on his feet.

    Liability defensively.

    How distant his 2021 form looks today.

    I think he's been played through injury and been hampered this year, like many of our players.

    Has time and space and just burns the disposals 

     

    Turner has a bit of agro about him too. And I love how Van Rooyen insists on running through people after he takes a mark.

    Jesus Riv

     

    Rivers is a momentum killer 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Players that I am concerned about moving forward - Salem, Petty and Bowey, not sure Billings is a 'competitive beast' either but id like to see more of that disposal.

    Howes good, Rivers thinking about Mad Monday already. Lift your game Trent, lazy football.

    Rivers has got to get those dinky flashy kicks out of his game.

    Rivers is mentally in Bali already.

    Or a WA club

     

    Riv needs to find something because he ain’t playing midfield with that type of disposal. That was a handball everyday of the week.

    Our disposal is comedically bad. 

    there is a river in our momentum

    Looks totally disinterested 

    Wtf happened to that enthusiasm moving into the guts...?

     

    Zero tackles from Nibbler.. Hmm that’s unusual. Perhaps preserving himself for his next club.

    • 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?
