What's in a name?

I am reliably advised thatĀ St Kilda's Brad Hill and Brad Crouch have broken the AFL record for most disposals by players calledĀ Brad for a team in an individual game - they both had 26 disposals last weekend combining for 52 in total. This breaks the previous record of 50 held by our Brad Green (32) and Brad Miller (18) in round 13 2004.

As additional useless information,Ā the record by two players with the same name is held by Collingwood's Tony Shaw (50) and Tony Francis (30) who combined for 80 disposals in roundĀ 5 1991. And,Ā St KildaĀ holds the record for most disposals by one first name for a team in the same game with 151 held by six Jacks in Rd 16 2017 being Billings (19), Lonie (18), Newnes (25), Sinclair (28), Steele (28) and Steven (33).Ā 

I don't know about you, but this is the essential content I come toĀ Demonland for.

    You'd think we might have a few shots at most disposals by two players named ChristianĀ

    Christian Petracca 36 + Christian Salem 23 = 59 last weekend.

    Ā We would surely own that record already.Ā  Even in the most recent game they had 59 combined.

    Michael Christian picked up a stat too when he fined Jetts.

    On the contrary, he'll be the leader of every stat possible for people called Gryan. Probably forever.

    For a club like ours, that seems incongruent who we are.?
    I'd be more content if we had set the record for most possessions by two players called Damien.?

    In the 1980s vs Collingwood we had Lyon opposed to Christian withĀ the result the same as in Roman times.

    With a combined 77 possessions, our two Christian's got very close to the record of 80Ā held by two players with the same first name.

    Dunno. No Pagans have won it. Plenty of heathens have.

    This could be the year for the Christians to set a new personal best.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
