I won't tell you who's bog either.

Not the dark lord himself? Good grief.

    Not much to write home about based on the first half.

    Fitzpatrick and Dawes are solid marks up front, Sellar and Davis good down back, but the latter is a shockingly poor kick. Clisby okay running off half back.

    Blease is too quick for VFL players but has no right side, and Davey is too good for this level.

    Big concern is Toumpas. Has no intensity whatsoever. Big bum and short stocky legs, and certainly doesn't have much pace from what I've seen today.

    What? But others in this thread have said that his kicking is a lot better?

    14 shots to 7 against Port, KC? Are they missing sitters or is it the wind?

    They're blazing away a bit but have Port's measure although the Borough seem a bit undermanned. Shane Valenti usually kills Casey but he's not out there today.

    Can't agree with the above assessment of Jimmy Toumpas. Along with Magner, who's probably BOG here, Toumpas is dominating.

    There's also a bloke over at Port Adelaide called Hartlett who probably fitted the above description of Jimmy T but is now considered to be moving towards elite midfielder status.

    Thanks KC, I trust your judgment.

    I think most are just scared after the Morton and Gysberts fall out. At least give him a year before you begin to jump ships - much less than many gave Morton or Watts.

    God will you give the kid a break for god sakes it's his second (or third) VFL game and he has fifteen touches to half time. He's not a 100 game player being demoted and not getting a kick. Some people just need to relax.

    Hartlett has never been as timid as Toumpas. It was injuries that held him back, not intensity.

    In saying that some great defensive work from Toumpas just now on the half back flank, resulting in a forward movement that saw a goal kicked by Bonaddio.

    Why would you want GWS to win? It would only make us look more pathetic. If there are two teams that we should hate most it is GWS and GC for they weakened the drafts when we have been near the bottom and they are the teams that will destroy any chances of us winning a flag in 10 years.

    Do you think he's done enough to earn a recall for Gold Coast at the G next week?

    Crazy day here with ABC going temporarily off the air and two undefeated AFL teams struggling. Could be a good omen for the Dees tomorrow.

    ... oops, Bombers coming back just as those peptides start sinking in (I know, I'm scurrilous).

    Add that to the fact that Coburg are wearing Essendon jumpers and Essendon are wearing their own clash jumper...

    Leading Possessions Magner 19 Toumpas Davis Sellar 15

    Sellar! We're getting to have half a dozen of these guys. Too good (or just very good) at VFL level, but not able to bring it to the big league.

    Good to see Toumpas getting his mojo working. Great for his confidence.

    Magner shoe-in for the Liston, even if he gets promoted mid-year. Another 3-vote game?

    Retract your comments about Blease because you sound like a fool. He is a freak on both sides of his body. His left is as good as his right.

    dawes and fitz the dominant Big men on the ground some great contested marks

  • Quote

    Why is running around to try to get on his left all the time then?

    He just laid a brilliant run down tackle.

    D Rod with a goal, 63-41 now.

    Fitzpatrick has a real presence as a forward.

    Blease laying some great tackles, really pleasing to see.

    It is good to see because this time last week he looked exhausted.

    Scorps by 23 points. They seem to have settled a bit and are weathering the storm. It helps to have some big blokes who can take contested grabs like Dawes and Fitzpatrick.

    I don't know but he's a natural right footer.

    • 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?
