everyone keeps talking about gawn for the brownlow but sorry folks he is only on about 12 votes according to my calculation, Hogan 11 and clarry 10. Mitchell will be streaking the field, excluding the suspended and injured Fyfe. 

Righto, guess that's that then.

    Sat with the in laws today for wife's bday and had to listen to an exposition on how Grundie is better than Max. Fortunately wife's uncle has a brain and is a Demon and we both laughed .

    i thought it was rather outrageous they enjoyed my expansive deck on a glorious winter's day whilst lobbing such ridiculous statements at me. The conversation quietened somewhat as the Pies weagles game progressed

    One should always retain a select offcut of Merbau for such occasions. One whack across back of head normally suffices ;)

    I understand.. my wife and 99% of her family are filth...a b-i-l ...worse...ex filth player...(I reserve a bit of 90x45 for him ;) )

    It’s laughable to suggest that anyone is a better RUCKMAN than Gawn right now. Sure there are more effective talls, there are ruckman who get more touches and kick more goals, but nobody is better at rucking. The stats prove it. He has more hit outs to advantage per game than anyone, and that is after all the primary job of a ruckman.

    Fritsch is brilliant. There was a moment in the 3rd or 4th where Fritsch was tackled and you could see that he had to re-adjust his kicking within it, because he knew he'd kick it nowhere if he threw it on the boot. Re-adjusted to kick it perfectly away from the tackle to a teammate. He took his time too, knew he had time in the tackle. Clearly with Fritsch, he understands that missing the teammate is a worst case scenario and he's trained his disposal as priority. Hit the man with a pass or don't bother.

    Fritsch is a real footballer 'John'...so good to watch him play & he's going to get a whole lot better.

    As for the game, I reckon that was a pretty convincing win after coming back from Darwin which has always been a tough ask in the past.

    We were shite for so long that my belief is the “Darwin effect” was just an excuse for us not being able to win following week.

    I thought Fritsch showed a bit down back. Couple of decent marks and laser passes out of defensive 50. Could be handy.

    He "shows a bit" wherever he plays. He has great composure and 'calmness' as well as excellent skills and awareness, but his versatility is becoming perhaps his greatest asset to the team.

    It is true, my magnanimity  even in the face of such shocking abuses of my hospitality and flagrant disregard for polite behaviour, knows no bounds.

    But then, matrimonial harmony is best underpinned by unending patience in the face of such abject disregard for the facts at hand - a condition not unknown amongst Collingwood supporters.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
