Hore will want to bounce back this week after being tagged out of the game last week. Mackin has been in sensational form.

HF: Mithen, Harris, Bannan

F: Pisano, Zanker

With Purcell, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to beat North.

    Lost Birch, Gay, West, Sherriff in trades out.
    Went young in the draft.  
    With     Purcell, Aimee Mackin, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to “compete this year”.  That’s 9 out of the best 21 team from 2023.

    Gall deserves a spray from the coach at quarter time for that selfishness

    Composure, non-existent. Just calm down a little

    we've fought well after a poor start. nothing wrong with our heart and endeavour. just need to take a breath and make better decisions

    Shades of last week so far: opposition's link, run and carry, and being beaten in the air, particularly across half forward. Endeavour up again, too, though.

    rubbish free kick. i assume a dangerous tackle but it was nothing of the sort.

    I have no doubt that in most games the bounce of the ball will favour one team, but today we've been killed.

    shelley heath cracking in as usual, paxy seeing a fair bit of it. the team have tried

    but North are a cut above. its an uphill struggle from here.

    Looked a fair way off them that quarter. Ball movement too stagnant (mostly due to skill), and not strong enough in the contest.

    North look good.

    This, unfortunately.

    Also, not realising the lesson Mick said was learnt from last week - too many drawn into the contest leaving nothing outside, in contrast to North.

    • 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.
