I'm going to bag Georgiou at some stage over his lack of height and kicking. I can see it coming already. But he's one I don't think I"ll bag about lack of effort or commitment. Without having a go at Saty I don't judge players attitude by the interpretation of comments made in quick conversations with him.

How can you bag someone for their lack of height?

Different sort of bag I suppose.....

Just the same as someone with a lack of speed and not too much difference to someone with a lack of hardness. Georgiou looks a good pick up as he's hard at it, makes smart decisions and looks a natural at positioning his body to mark or spoil. But he's 187cm. If he was 195cm I'd have great confidence in him long term. Not so much bag but at times I'm going to bemoan the fact he's not genuine key position height.

I'm sure dogs and hawks supporters do it with Dale Morris and Josh Gibson who are similar undersized 2nd or 3rd tall stopping defenders.

Good question DC. I am still searching for a quality artisan to carry out the job to my precise specifications.

i presume you are referring to the brazilianer rather than the sawbones

good thinking, one slip and even viagra won't help you

I imagine it might resemble the game day thread for Jonestown FC.

Who is suggesting that we will ever lose again ??!! So many pessimists here !

Or, as Hannibal put it a page or so back -- "Quintessential Demonland."

For no apparent reason i thought Georgiou was going to be another Gillies

Glad that he is the complete opposite

Hope he plays round 1

ho-hum back pocketer rejected from another club with a surname beginning with G? :D

  • 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.
