    Nine years on AFL lists is pretty impressive, even if his career didn't reach great heights. I still don't know what we were expecting from him this year.

    Selecting him over Grundy during the finals was criminal by those involved

    Grundy asked not to be selcted. He was out the door

    Sad that it didn’t work out for Josh and for us, but it didn’t. 
     

    Does that mean that FullArton will get another year (maybe he does anyway but I am unsure of his contract status)?

    Yep, he's got another year to go for his contract.

    3 AFL Clubs so clearly very close. Thank you Josh, I had high hopes we could help unlock what was needed for you to be a regular contributor. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

    No the worst mistake was not using Schacky from about 5 mins. Before 3/4 time instead of Tmac. 

    The use of the Sub rule even in the GF in 2021 was sad ( like Heppell’s goodbyes at Marvel)  and Simon has not improved in 3 years further. In fact it needs a Royal Commission!!!

    Having the all of around five gamer Laurie as the sub when Gus went down wasn't exactly a great move.

    The bloke had zero experience but chosen for a final.  Still boggles the mind.

    Not sure what Goody was thinking then.

    That was when only medical subs could be used. Harmsey tried to fake an injury to get Jordan on. Should have tried harder.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
