Frosty had an excellent bit of play on the HB Flank. Sold a bit of candy and drilled a pass to a teammate on the wing. Other than that haven't noticed him too much

    Our centre clearance team has at times has been Salem, VDB, Trenners and ruck Spence or King.  They won the clearances convincingly that qtr.  

    I thought Scorps would struggle this week with the loss of both ANB and Newton, but the ins of VDB and Salo seem to have more than made up for it so far. One of ANBs strengths this year has been his 4 qtr endurance. Guess we are yet to see if the replacements are up to his standard on that score.

    Grimes had also been in a lot of the clearance work, incl at throw ins. He continues to have really good form when on the ball. Doesn't excite with cleanness or polish, but there is not question he is often effective. His experience really seems to be showing through, and he looks to be really determined. He is definitely not cruising.

    Half time, and time for the catering report.

    Egg and bacon roll once again did not disappoint, despite the fact I was waiting all day for it. 

    Wrote up the 'match of the round' one year for a couple of leagues bjDee. It was only two games in that I started to review the egg and bacon rolls, almost to the expense of the matches themselves. You can tell a lot about a club by the standard of it's egg and bacon rolls. Glad to hear Casey's are up there.

    That was the pass to Dawes leading to a goal. He dropped a sitter switch pass across the backline. Then quickly recovered, ran around opponent, took off and put a good 10m clearance on his opponent in a hurry before a nice kick to Dawes' marking advantage.

    Joel Smith #79 did a couple of things that quarter that were very impressive.  He is very quick. One to keep an eye on.

    Agree. He has suddenly blossomed this game.

    Box Hill have had the hood over Casey for a number of years too. This would be a huge win if they can get up.

    I beg your pardon?

    Salem went down on far side of ground.  Might have been a leg injury?  Walked off unaided with trainers, not limping. Has been taken into rooms with Physio.

    Salem off accompanied by medicos and straight up the race bit sure what issue was

    Terlo set shot. Straight out. Kick from 50. Drifted right for a behind.

    End to end goal for BH.

    The backs in this game press right up to the half fwd line, hence Terlo'o opportunity to mark and score. But it hurts on the rebound.

    • 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?
