So this time it wasn’t necessary to conscript players from other clubs than the Demons and Magpies at their hub at Maroochydore Sports Complex. Highlights - • You can’t keep a good big man down. Max Gawn might have been nursing that injured PCL but it didn’t stop him from being one of the goal umpires. • Melbourne ran away with a convincing 39-point win scoring 12.8.80 to 6.5.41. • Suspended Alex Neal-Bullen was considered best afield playing up forward (he still has two matches to serve); • Toby Bedford was lively and did the damage on the scoreboard booting four goals; • The defence stood strong throughout the game; • Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball; • Oskar Baker’s pace shone through on the wing; • Recovering from a broken wrist Corey Wagner played well in the middle unhindered by the protective glove he wore; • Josh Wagner pushed off half-back to help around the contest; • Jayden Hunt was the carry over emergency for Melbourne in Round 12. As mentioned above, no mention made of Brown, Bennell or Hannan or any news on the four injured horsemen - Hore, Petty, Kolo and Nietzchke.

Melbourne: Christian Salem The Dees jumped out of the blocks against a poor-performing Collingwood outfit and so did Christian Salem. Salem finished the game with 22 disposals at a staggering 96 per cent efficiency, took a game-high 10 marks – all of which were uncontested – and had five rebound 50s. Salem’s free-flowing performance summed up the Dees’ 56-point victory against a poor-performing Magpies side.

I’m not sure my heart could take it.

unfortunately we wouldn't be getting anything near that. No offence to big Preussy. Love the guy but he's not got the runs on the board to command that. he was very important to us this week with both our Rucks out but I'm not sure an insurance policy gets a late first round.

No thanks. Unless we get compensated for the right amount that makes up for us needing him in a situation like this week.

Be that as it may Bruce always kicks a couple of goals on us. 2015: 1.1 & 1.0 2016: 3.0 & 2.0 2017: 1.0 & 1.1 2019: 2.0 & 4.0

Fair point.

5 missed reputation points.

For which reason?

It was intentional as I realised that there was a big difference between getting a reputation point via a laugh reaction for being funny & getting that point for saying something dumb or stupid.

I assume that is what he meant.

Interesting ...

Officially in the 8 now.

... and I tipped this. Trac and Clarrie clearing away from Maxy in his absence. Progressive 117. Christian Petracca 96. Clayton Oliver 84. Max Gawn 81. Jack Viney 69. Steven May 40. Ed Langdon 39.
