Early days, but the debutants don't look out of place. 

Liking Jeffo's second efforts.

    I’m going early but Lindsay is going to be a superstar for the Dees.

    And his firsts. I see all the hype now.

    Thanks #Pickettfence.

    Love the jeers for a Gawn free. Shame they miss so many in the ruck. Keefe is undersized and holding in every duel

    Petty so much more comfortable and effective on the backline.

    Disposal Efficiency. The stat that has haunted us for years still ever-present.

    It’s only one quarter but Jeffo has a lot more presence than what was being advertised. Looks good.

    A bit rusty but not terrible. Take away their goal from Langdons 30m kick backwards that missed the target, we would be in front.

    Oliver's attitude and body language are so hugely improved vs last year. He just looks ready to tear a game apart.

    Onto more important issues. New padded seats to Trident level 2, very nice (and no chewy stuck underneath) but where are the cup holders? Seriously MCG, WTF 😀

    The difference between the two teams is that they can reliably find and hit targets. We can't.

    Great quarter of footy. Loving our new forward philosophy of long bombs only when all other options are closed off. New kids looking good. Both teams squandering easy goal opportunities. Our backs as brilliant as ever. 

    We have to stop their easy possessions when it comes off a pack, and their spread way from that.

    Our pressure, run and intensity on song.

    Yeah is there scope to put these back on?

     

    GWS are a good side. I think we’re going ok, should be in front. Oliver looks sharp, and interested. Gawn a beast, Petracca hasn’t lost a step, and Lindsay looks impressive.

    • 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.
