LOVE that...

Gawn...

is coming to power, and could very well be the number one Ruckman by seasons end (touch wood). Sadly Goldstein beats him in terms of around the ground marking, tackling, goal kicking etc. but as a ruckman in the purist form, Gawn is currently number 1. 

Viney...

 is getting the recognition that Nathan Jones should have got the past 6 years. Absolute beast and now adored/admired by the likes of Robbo, Healey etc. Not saying i love them and value their opinions, but they do have a fair influence in the AFL media. 

Watts...

please, please, please keep it up for the rest of the season/career. If anyone deserves to truly make it, it is you. MUST play well on the big stage on Sunday night. The whole of Australia will be watching due to the public holiday. IF he has arrived, that will be the stage to do it on.

Jones wasn't nearly as damaging in his fourth year. Jones has always attacked the footy/contest but his disposal/decision making was questionable. Jones game went to a new level under Roos/Stone.

Jones had an uncharacteristically high number of turnovers, especially by hand. He was very good otherwise.

Jones is apart of the very few in the AFL these days that can comfortably and dangerously use his opposite side.

I couldn't believe when he missed that set shot, he's normally insanely accurate in front of goal.

whenever Nate jones has a set shot i tend to put it down as a goal the moment i see the mark, not bad when you can have an off day and still play as well as he did.

Jones used to get caught a lot trying to barge his way through, he now thinks his way through situations/congestion. 

 

On on a side note : Bring on Cotchin and the rabble that is the RFC.

And Brayshaw (who is more or less ambidextrous) 
and Bernie (will always love that left foot bomb of a goal against geelong last year).

I like that we have a few of them now

Interestingly Viney gets 10 coaches votes and is on the bench, Gawn gets none and is the ruckman. Simply an observation.

Lacks Wagner.

That would have been a great boost of confidence for him, making the team of the week in only his second game. Statistically, Hartley had a pretty average game, but I didn't see how he played. Interesting choice?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
