Surely the word "chaos" whether used as "chaos ball" or "chaos game" wins the prize for the AFL's cliche of the year.

Having said that, this is not a bad article (apart from the ridiculous hyperbole of claiming Richmond's success came about "through sheer willpower" and the accidental error of claiming we peppered the Geelong goal in the second quarter).

    Good article. This approach is working wonders for us and for it to work you need to be working your butt off 100% of the game. Any less just doesn't cut it.

    Chaos theory actually relates to there being order in chaos not disorder.

    Ahh, the old probabalistic approach. Quantum football and all that.

    Time to make some Hawthorn wave-functions collapse.

    Interesting that ANB is statistically one of the best pressure forwards in the AFL this year for those that question his importance to the side...

    Some old fashioned kinetic energy delivered by Viney, VDB and Nev will do the trick.

    They'd need to hit much harder than Juice ever did.

    Anna was in the rooms after the game on Friday. Appeared a couple of times during Roaming Brian.

     when I first started watching footy as a kid I always thought the game was decided by chaos theory.

    “ ......Neal-Bullen is rated ‘elite’ for pressure, as is tall forward Tom McDonald, with first-year small forward Charlie Spargo ‘above average.’ ....”

    Anyone seriously feel that Garrett will replace Spartacus?

    It's sad this is the case. It was only last year he was lauded for his forward pressure. What the hell went wrong?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
