AA ruckman.

Don't give me that Brodie Grundy crap.  Though I dont mind if they stick him on the bench.

    If only we could take advantage of Gawn's hit-outs to advantage. Last week was deplorable in that regard.

    Ryder is a good ruck too. His season stats would look better but for injury.

    Good teams bounce back.

    Good players respond positively to criticism.

    Big game next week.

    Games having another good year. We just need to make sure we make the most of his dominance around the ball.

    I expect him to be AA ruck this year, tracking really well is big Maxy!

    His dominance has been obvious.  The umpires treatment of him in favour of Grundy on Monday was a big part of why we struggled.

    1st, Grundy initiated a lot of grappling, with the free typically paid against Gawn (Grundy 5 frees for, 1 against, Gawn 1 free for, 4 against).

    2nd, regularly the umpires "threw the ball up quick" even though Gawn (our ruck) was the last to get up from the pack i.e. they were throwing the ball up before Gawn had stood up which meant he was at a disadvantage positionally.

     

    Personally, I believe these two issues contributed to Collingwoods dominance at first possession and clearances.

    That and they were tackling our inside mids before they got to the ball.

    Deserves AA, but TBH so does Grundy. Would be comfortable with both being selected.

    If we don't make the finals, though, I doubt Gawn will make it.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
