*sigh* 

Sadly, entirely true. 

But we have 2 of the top 5 best contested players in the comp in the same midfield, just need the outside polish to finish off the good work.

    What stood out most of all with Xavier was his vision and ultra quick release.  Amazing for a first gamer

    And that's not the sort of thing you do and then not do.  We've got a lot to look forward to with this lad

    Windsor and this bloke off half back will pay big dividends after they have played 50 games together.

    Your 50 games late it’s now they start to pay dividends more to come but both won’t be hb flankers all their careers.

    Having so many fwds ranked as they are in Chandler, Roo, Fritta and Jeffo not great. Well I give Jeffo more points and he scored twice as many goals as the other three combined.

    Windsor is just so polished. A delight to watch. And cool under pressure. 

    No matter where he gets the ball, it's like he's seeing things slow like that scene in the Matrix.

    About time we took a gippsland lad

    I was kind of hoping we took the gippsland trio of tauru, Lindsay and mentha , 2 out of three ain't bad 

    We should try and get our hands on more gippsland players like C serong, B humphries , Z duursma, T Papley, J Newcomb

    Lindsay looks like a great pick up and I’m feeling good about my sneaky wager I e got on him for the Rising Star award 

    But let’s just stick to best available rather than focusing on Gippsland only 😀

    I know the discussion around trading our first pick to the Bombers will come up, but even if it is a high pick I’m still comfortable with it. I genuinely believe he’s been the best performed draftee so far the first two rounds. He’s a gun player and probably could’ve been a top 5 pick in a normal draft year.

    And if Kalani White is any good, we'll get him for a second rounder...

    That’s why he should play in the CENTRE While he won’t solve ALL the problems his pace and kicking and skills will help the connectivity with the forward line,

    I was sold on him very early in the game after he'd put on 2 very clever shepherds to clear a path for a teammate. How many others do we have with those smarts?

    The rest of his game was a bonus, an enormous bonus.

    I agree , maybe he could teach a few of his teamates because it seems to me like they are not doing enough to protect the ball carrier.

    It’s a testament to him that he looked our most composed and skilful player on the weekend while also having the highest pressure rating

    Unfortunately it’s also equally as damning that our 10+ year veterans don’t seem to have the skill and polish of a two gamer 

    Anyway, he’s going to be an absolute gun for us, so who cares that the Bombers have our first round pick!

    agreed he does look a top 5 pick. Classy but Ive also been surprised by his toughness in the clinches. ultra competitive when the ball is in dispute.

    It's actually embarrassing to some of our senior players that he looks one of the most composed on the ground for us at the moment...

    Tx 58er. Although do you think he is strong enough and has the right body type to succeed as a classic in and under ball getter?

    I see him more as a wing type player.

    • 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?
