Such a boring match.

There is only one player on the ground with the surname Shaw. Why do the commentators always refer to him as Heath Shaw? (They don't use the other players Christian names.)

    It’s Been good listening on the radio today, (solid day in the garden), can hear the players, commentary not trying to become stars of the show. Well on the abc anyway.

    Good to see the Suns are aiming for another wooden spoon.

    We are safe from that methinks.

    GWS are good and Cats not too bad either. Very fast game.

    Hard not to see 0-2 coming up.

    Old filth habits die hard. Been happening since the plague of Shaw’s started playing for Collingwood.

    How about the crowds from Gladiator, complete with thumbs down from the spectators when they are not pleased with the umpires. Release the tigers (the real animals) from beneath the trapdoors underground! That'll teach them.

    On a similar note, I've always wanted to know what Garyablettjunior's first name is.

    Can not get over how bad the AFL website .  Just wow.  The Match Centre is so bad

    And to think of all the extra traffic they will be getting to see that mess.

    Agree.  It's not even consistent.  When I looked earlier today the  broadcast info for some matches was different in depending on which page you looked on (both had the revised start times).  Very hard to quickly get information. The site doesn't remember your chosen location or that you have turned off betting odds.

    I'm sure I've heard Brayshaw call him little Gary Ablett. Makes him sound like a five year old. ?

    There's only one Taylor on the ground. He always get identified as Harry Taylor. Why?

    Green always get called Toby Green. Has been for years. At least there's now some excuse for it ... another Green (debutante) playing for GWS tonight.

    Still a boring match.

    I thought the mail on Green Prior to the draft was that he was good but a risk as his injury would keep him out of most of this season? Oh surprise he is ready round 1.

    Are you thinking of Kemp?

    Green’s always been ready-made.

    I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

    But  we’ll agree to disagree.

    Okay now you win!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
