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.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
