The hoodoo, ladies and gentlemen, is over.  Just soak that in for a moment.

The one thing I think we can be proud of with this win was, when the game was on the line in the last term, our leaders stood up.  Lewis was terrific, not just with the goal he kicked but with his ability to identify that we needed to slow it down and take the right option.  Jones just kept running and running and running and drove us forward.  Gawny was also immense.

And we had others stand up for us as well.  Hogan was excellent.  Salem was terrific in the gut with 8 clearances.  Bugg with 4 was a revelation, while Kent totally justified his selection with 3 goals and some great work across half forward.  Vince was another who stood up, while Oliver fought through the tag to snag two at the end.

Really, you could list most of the players (can't forget Wagner either who played his best game for the club), but when our backs were against the wall after coughing up 4 goals, we absolutely smashed them.  It was great to watch.

Hoodoo done and dusted.  Enjoy every minute of it, then on to the Hawks next weekend!

18 goals to 9 after that awful start.

33 scoring shots to 21, +21 inside 50s, +35 CPs, +10 centre clearances.

Actual leadership in the fourth.

18 goals but only 1 kicked by Hogan.

Kent returning and looking like an AFL player (consistency is the next step). Bugg kicking 4.1.

Surely we can be pleased with this.

Gawn was just incredible. Incredible everywhere. One of his best ever games. 

Loved the chains of composure with some of our younger players. 

Jones was great, good captains game. 

Hogan 2nd BOG for me behind Gawn. 

Can’t believe the ball went straight off Bugg’s boot a whole 4 times. 

Love  tubby Kent, welcome back. 

Frost v Hunt selection was the correct one. 

May North [censored] off and never beat us again.

Good win after coughing up a 4 goal head start (again).

Special mention to Wagner who was great.

And also Bugg, who I thought was lucky to stay in the team.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
