i disagree; he's no daisy but he's better than ling, bartel, or most others

i wonder what crowd this dreamtime game will get given the weather?

amazing how meth coke just keep winning despite not looking good; sure the umpire's helped but they know that they're never out of it

each to their own, but his interviews at the end of games are not even up to Ling or Richo level.  His comments add nothing (in fact, tonight he simply repeated what the main commentators said about the ball dropping short in the wet.)  Zero added value or insight.

    Actually they are bloody good compared to what they were when many on Demonland were young.  There was a time when the most reliable prediction was tomorrow the same as today.  Fast computers, better models and more input data have made a big difference.

    Gotta love the forward handball game the tigers have. Awesome to watch when up and running.

    Ling!? I'm sorry but this moron carried on last year down at the cattery after they beat us by a kick as if they had won a granny! I respected Ling as a player but as a commentator, he is a [censored].

    Richmond is just simple.

    I like McAdam, doesn't get involved with the pathetic immature banter that the likes of Taylor, Hamish and other [censored] themselves over.

    Ablett can’t keep his hands down. Nice little jab on Miles’ chin. Let’s see how this plays out.

    Miles clearly chin-butted Ablett’s fist. He should cop a week downgraded to a fine along with a written apology to Ablett.

    Intentional, medium, high is two weeks. Even if argued to be low impact, he still gets a week. 

    Surely Christian can’t deem this one as unintentional.

    I bet on the tigers to win the wooden spoon over a decade ago, had a fair bit on it as well and with about 6 rounds to go Sportsbet paid out. Tigers ended up winning a few and getting off the bottom.

    Sportsbet do it for the publicity. I’m still talking about it.

    My guess is Christian will deem it as insufficient force. Nothing to see here. 

    Next week, Ablett roundhouse kicks someone’s head off.

    Christian will say Miles was staging and practically call him a sook.

    No way did it look like 80,000 plus at the G from the TV, a Richmond mate at the game isn’t paying it either. Did they take pre sales into account?

    What's up with Ablett, it's like after the first one he's got a taste for it - he's got the bloodlust.

    Just like a dog that gets the taste for fresh blood, Gary better be put down.

    • 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?
