struck me as mechanistic and robotic... same as they play... i think the players have overdosed on 'system', 'structure' and sermonising.


You haven't had to much to drink,if you can remain parralel without assistance.

I only drink to be sociable

Football is an easy game made hard by the players

"What matters most is not that we do our best, but that what needs to be done gets done." - Churchill.

Basically - I don't give a sh!t if you trained and played all your life in the VFL. We need an inside mid at AFL level, and you are our best chance. Get in there and make it happen.

"Dont do that Garry."-Ablett sr before knocking Lyon out.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there.

"It's as dark out there as the Black Hole of Dakota."

I love an inspirational quote... I have got a 500 page book full of them. However, there is only one quote that I have ever actually hand-written and pinned to my wall so I can see it each day:

Jim Stynes:

"If you can let go of that fear in life... then you can do anything. It allows you to really let go and chase the things that you really want to do in your life, and live out the life that you were born to live"

I heard him say that on his DVD, and wrote it down over a year ago. It is still on my wall to this day, and it will stay on my wall. Best quote I've ever heard, and one that actually has had a lasting effect on me.


This is a quote from Teddy Roosevelt and a favourite of mine. I often think of this when certain journalists decide to give a particular young player of ours a constant trial by media!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

  • 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.
