Casbolt usually can't hit the side of a barn but against us kicks then from the boundary. 

He has kicked more from that spot than he has missed.

 

Blowing my own ‘travel trumpet’ by reporting in from Lefkada Island in the Ionian Sea (think Rosebud on Steroids).

Ordinary day yesterday: money clip with €70 cleverly lifted from pocket on crowded Athens train. 6:30 am here. Dees win needed so I can get another hour of sleep.

    Umpiring is atrocious and getting worse.

    Backline horrendous today. Defensively we are atrocious. We pay the opposition no respect. 

    Our inside structure up the line is a shambles...too many on the skinny side cost us that goal.  Still amature after 2.5 seasons under Goody

     

    Did they say May went off.

    Poor Mary

    Is Preuss a horrible ruckman or am I just used to seeing Gawn?


    Carlton plays confident albeit chaotic football. They are playing well above their weight. Evidently, we are playing well below ours. Carlton will get a run on. They look dangerous every time they go forward. Still think we're set for a 8-10 goal loss. Nothing in that quarter convinced me otherwise.

    Horrible compared to Gawn

    Stupid autocorrect. 

    Mary doesn’t deserve to be called names. She’s not why we are so bad!

    Kreuzer's round the ground play is keeping them in this not to mention our atrocious forward play.

    Theyre amazing what they try over there. I can tell you some stories. Take care out there.

    14 frees handed out that quarter. This is why AFL struggles getting interest in other countries on the game, no one knows wtf is going on.

    I should apply yo be the forwards coach.

    All u have to do is run towards the ball if u get there go for it (the morr fliers the better) no matter how many players are there. Then all stand around and repeat.

    That should have been an 8 goal quarter and almost game over.

    Weideman is not even the shadow of an AFL forward

    • 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?
