    Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

    Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
     

    Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
     

    Get a grip people. 

    Let's discuss Max more in depth.

    Do you think he's got the speed and stamina require for the current style of footy?

    Unless you make him a more permanent piece in our fwd line, don't see him being good come next year. He's been a great ruckman and thanks for your service but we need to move forward.

    Sad thing is we haven't got anyone good to bring in.

    Goody never makes strong statements & drops players that need to be dropped

    Losing is not the issue it the lack of effort by senior players and the lack of talent on those coming through. This is no light on the horizon stuff. Absolutely no positives at all

    No. He's still a very good player. Trouble is he's had to carry everything by himself for eons.

    The club admitted as much when it recruited Grundy.

    Did it bother replacing him ?

    Na. Just didn't care.

    9 goal belting by north. I’m dreading the Geelong game

    Speed? He’s never been fast but somehow managed to be the GOAT and a 7x AA selection…

    Stamina? Absolutely. He’s still a warrior. 
     

    Are you sure you’ve been watching the same Max Gawn that everyone else has for the past decade?

    of all the rubbish from this team today our greatest club champion of all time is the guy you’re ready to kick to the curb???

    Far too many broken tackles today.

    More inside 50s and losing by 10 goals is something. 

    Rivers must be pulling his hair out. Working so hard to find an option. No one leading or moving at all. Finally finds an option and delivers accurately under pressure. The player he kicks to bombs long or turns it over.

    Not as much as Clarry


    Jeez, that trash today Collingwood is beating us in stats for the game!IMG_6323.jpeg.a7f5b8123438ec365b8f0cf3bee578b5.jpeg

     

    Midfield absolutely pantsed today, poor stoppage set up, need to honey pot then getting burnt in transition.

    Gawn well beaten

    Viney 3 times blazed into f50 straight down Combens throat, handballs not hitting targets, kicking over teammates in the open.

    If you want to be a laughing stock you sack the coach in Rd 2

    Stay strong regroup and back your players, to turn the basics around

    Our problem is that we won't move forward, like with Goodwin.

    That includes the playing list, as hard the decision may be.

    • 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?
