Agree. Spread nowhere near that at Casey Fields.

That was a disappointing quarter from Casey and they will need to lift if they want to win this.

Collingwood leads 7.3.45 to Casey 4.6.30

You at the game BRFE ?

Yes. I'm here. Trac not as much ball that quarter 5 or so touches great third effort led to a massive tackle. ANB very good that quarter just accumulates and creates play. Weeds not helped by the forward delivery but he seriously attacks the ball in the air. Pies just seem to link better than we do and hit kicks forward of 50. 


Trenners is playing in the centre and looks to be running really well. Just did a strong sprint to a contest and kept pace with opponent. 

 

Only saw the first half, but pleasingly Roosy was here for first quarter and a bit and would have seen the early show put on by two players - one Petracca and the other Mason Cox.

If Gawn shines and the Dees win today, then the Cox decision to keep him out will go down as one of the worst in history.

As to Petracca, I'm looking forward to Sunday night against Richmond to watch his debut - both he and Vince are definite inclusions. Surprisingly he played mainly on the ball today - i thought he'd be used more as a forward, but it seems they want to get him fitter quicker.

Billy was 23rd man today so did not play but his buddy Neal-Bullen was very prominent as was Michie and Grimes worked his way into it.

But when you are watching a lower standard you really notice the players with extra skills and for mine it was CP5, closely followed by the power left foot of Mitchell White. One piece of play where he switched to Petracca who hit a target (I think Weeds) and then ran down collected the handpass and then hammered the ball home was AFL level at the highest.

Garland and Terlich and Hutchins were also good down back, but the Pies did well counter attacking - hence we were trailing.

Weeds moved well but had a tough match up with Frost and others to beat.

But mark it down now - Petracca to debut next week.


Mark and goal to Weeds. Got it right that time. 

How do you like them apples, Pies?

That's three quarter time and Casey's quarter. They lead 9.8.62 to 9.5.59.

Grimes 20 touches and 2 goals....how has his disposal been?

Rutherford is playing, Jaffer-Williams must be the emergency

This would make me a very happy camper as I am travelling over for the Richmond match from Adelaide to introduce my 7 year old lad to OUR home of football 

 

Trac just showed his superior strength and determination. An absolute bull at a contest with repeat tackling efforts.

Mitch White goal in the run after a throw in. 

Then Trac - himself goal from mark and set shot.

Stick it up em boys!

Goal Petracca.


Scorps running away with it

  • 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?
