Join @george_on_the_outer, @binman & I as we discuss getting collared by the dogs tonight @ 8:30pm


In a role reversal dogs collar dees. 

What next - taking us for a walk?

 

On a brighter note, @binman can now officially be a co-host, as his caller status has now succumbed to the Norm Smith Curse. However are we going to appease the ghost of the Red Fox now?

 

How do we trust this team on the field guys? 2018 appears to be the aberration not the expected norm at this point in this rebuild.

Off field is looking ok though in tough times.

I'm not sure it's as simple as 2018 being the aberration. I think the game has evolved since 2018 and we haven't. On the plus side I don't think we're a bottom 4 side anymore. I just don't believe we can match it with the Top 8 sides and it's questionable whether we can match it with the teams knocking on the door of the 8. The next 3 weeks will be telling. I'm not very confident about being able to match it with the Saints. The two weeks after that will confirm for me whether we are truly not bottom 4 material.

Sssoooooo we’re a bottom 5 side?

Apologies for audio lag issues between the hosts. I think I've nailed it down to my main podcast computer. It's running as slow as dogs balls and I think this contributed to the lag between myself and the two hosts on separate computers. Thinking of either replacing this old beast or doing a clean install.

  • 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?
