Watching from NZ. I’m giving this a quarter before I give up and go to bed.

Thanks! Exciting times ? Before the start of the year I thought I was going to have to manage competing joys of fatherhood and a huge year from the Dees. As it's eventuated, I've had no distractions at all with being a good Dad haha. Let's hope we get things together before the kid is old enough to pick a team (I've already bought his gear).

“Pick a team”

Sorry , there’s no picky picky though i admire your desire to help him avoid a lifejme of misery . I was singing GOF to #1 4 hours after arrival as Mum was in surgery . Hilariously , he now does a ripping Pies, Hawks, Blues medley despite insisting he’s a Dees man, meanwhile number 2, at 7 months, because I am a pragmatic fellow, is Pies with mum.

I have been surprised at the loss of hours on the bike / legs with 1 let alone 2

its mad times though , I love being a dad

    General question - whys Carey  called the “Duck”? And what’s with the black eye???

    He picked a fight with the bitumen...

     

    Na, he stacked on his face riding his bike.

     

    Assume the brace position guys. 

    This will be rough. 

    Grab the lube

    It was my understanding that it wasn't. 

    No offence to you, but it’s absurd to think that no-one in the FD reviewed that game. It’s just not realistic. There are degrees of review, but to think it wasn’t reviewed at all is crazy.


    One thing fr sure is we won’t let max get bullied off the ball this time. Expect fireworks if they try that. 

     

    Gee, Tim Smith will be feeling the pressure. Will probably get text messages at half time from Preuss, saying things like 'I hope you're enjoying borrowing my spot, just bring it back with the tank full'.

    Honestly, I go into this game with a 'nothing to lose ' attitude. The whole AFL world will be expecting us to get a whacking, and even my plan for an incrementally delusional path to later season greatness doesn't include a win tonight.

    Still, y' never know. And a win tonight would completely turn the story around, our early season horrors would be declared just that, and people would start praising our character and maturity. And of course, when you win, you can mention your injuries whenever you like.




    Petracca clearly not happy about the responsibility of taking the shot.

    Aaaand there it goes.

    Still, in 4 minutes we've outscored our entire Prelim Final first half...

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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?
