I am reliably advised that St Kilda's Brad Hill and Brad Crouch have broken the AFL record for most disposals by players called 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, 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 round 5 1991. And, St Kilda 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). 

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

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

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

     We would surely own that record already.  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 with the result the same as in Roman times.

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

    What's the record for more than one Christian winning the Brownlow in any given year?

    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: 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.
