    Bizzarely, the 2021-retired Tom Scully is still in the HFC website team photos, evidently carrying the number 'Blank'

    Hope Jeremy Howe enjoys our march up the ladder while Collingwood are on the verge of complete collapse.

    It was accidental, so it's ok. Doesn't it make you want to spew, though?

    I feel we play our aged for to long to the detriment of youth, don’t be surprised if Chandler and Bedford are delisted eventually

    Martin rested vs the Suns.

    For all the horrible list management decisions we made around the Bailey/ Neeld era, most of the players we willingly let go never played well elsewhere. Martin was the exception - I never understood why we let him walk at the time, and it looks like an even worse decision in hindsight. He's been a seriously underrated player for a long time.

    If Sheed misses that goal he’s a premiership player.

    A lot of people are quick to jump on Collingwood (which is fair enough) but they were very good and really should have won a flag.

    I'm never going to begrudge a player for moving to the club they supported as a kid. Even if it is Collingwood.

    (Hope Christian Petracca never reads this though).

    Good on him. Hope he can get his life and career back on track. Still just 26 I believe.

    We play them again at the G later this year, hopefully he plays, the Dees fans give him and big cheer, and of course the Dees get the W!

    Not sure where to post this. GWS v Footscray currently live on Fox and Jesse is running around.

    Better than no footy at all on a Thursday night. He’s looking ok, here’s hoping he gets some luck and makes it back successfully.

    Lucky enough to be on a table with him at a fundraiser for retired players 3 years ago. We had a fabulous night and Guy was very easy to talk to. I cannot remember the company he works for but he is well known through country Victoria as he sells farm machinery. From memory he has 2 girls who play footy but haven't been picked up to date. He is very tight with Rod Grinter and they are a major force behind the past players support network. I was very privileged to talk to him about the Bali bombing and it's affects on the players who were there.

    I don't know if he is aware Demonland exists and now I wish I had asked.

    • 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.
