I particulary like this little whack from Wilson.

"Last time Kennett tried to become an AFL statesman, he called on the competition to toughen up its illicit drugs policy. Kennett declared a zero tolerance regime at his own club, but he seems to have stopped talking about that now."

    Good article.

    Does anyone think that Caro's article concerning Melbourne whilst critical are more often than not constructive? In comparison to the roos last year where she really got stuck into them, she's seems a bit more relaxed.

    caro is great when it comes to the politics of football... she usually has pretty good sources, and breaks a lot of stories... this story is a good example...

    however she's no good when it comes to the actual game itself, what happens on the field... doesn't analyse the game well at all...

    Agree with that.

    I don't think much of her, or any of the other so-called 'experts' down at the Age, though. They are all so hyper-critical and negative and try to make it out as though they are telling it like it is. There is telling it like it is, and then there is being a bunch of cynical pr**ks.

    At present I'm happy to take any ablative armour we can scrounge, however.

    And the board needs an injection of wealth. Too many current directors cannot even afford to take a table at the 150th dinner.

    From memory I heard PG - MMM played some of the pre-game speech this afternoon - state that the Board have ~10 tables between them.

    • 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?
