Saw the story. Humans are amazing creatures, eh?

So vulnerable, and so resilient.

That story really got to me for some reason.

    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but what an inspirational story from one of our Casey boys.

    Kyle Matthews Fights Back To Star

    Now THAT's what I call ticker ...

    Absolutely, I've said this before, we should rookie him!

    He IS THE sort you want around our club and really deserves at least One AFL Game in his life !!!

    He may turn out to be Much much more than that anyway. He's an inspiration to have around any AFL draftee, & club...

    I would love to see some of that sort of spirit around the club. Perhaps it would show some of the more talented less committed how it should be done.

    Yes, a great story and inspirational

    And he wasn't Captain of the Scorps before the assault for nothing either

    Nice story but where's the editor?

    Kyle turns into someone called "Williams" in the middle of the story.

    Annoying.

    Agree, the title could do with a bit of a makeover too.

    I would give him a rookie spot, but I am a romantic.

    Good luck to him but drafting him off the back of a handful of games after that is insanity.

    Hooray for romance and sentiment but there's precious little place for it in this game.

    Yeah, but he might add something to the team as a desperado ball-magnet small forward/mid. We have more than enough "silk" in the midfield, but he would add a heap of in-and-under never-say-die grunt to the mix, which is what we need more of.

    Romance drives Passion, & Passion drives hard work & maximum Effort.

    Maybe at his best, but he's played one senior match in two seasons. No slight on him at all but the profile of him in the paper shows he's still doing it bloody tough.

    Yep. I think his comeback is a great story - I really mean that - but I don't think we should draft him this year.

    • 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?
