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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
