    As much as I despise the expansion clubs, I have to take my hat off to Gold Coast. I hate the modern terminology of a team's "brand", but you can actually see a definite system of play emerging. Can't believe I am saying this, but I actually enjoy watching them.

    Swans wearing South Melbourne guernseys. Nice touch. Just remembered that I walked past the old Brunswick Street Oval at lunchtime today and there was a junior girls game on with one side wearing the old Fitzroy guernseys.

    It's important to the future of the game that GCS have some success. All those Auskick kids up there drowning out the Ausbiff kids or Austhump (or whatever the RL equivalent is) have to have something to aspire to. They're the future.

    Dogs Swan's game does have a bit of a Retro look to it.

    The first time the dogs kicked it deep I was half expecting to see Rod Carter take a mark in the goal square.

    Yeah, that's right. He used to cop so much [censored] from opposition fans sitting behind the goals.

    Sydney having a dip here at Marvel. Played an impressive 1st qtr and are capable of winning this.

    Being at the venue, the roof should always be open on overcast mild days like today. I don’t agree with the 100% roof closed policy.

    so does that mean masks on while seated?

    No masks required at seats.

    Syndey dominating uncontested disposal and marks which is a good recipe for winning a game.

    Stewie Dew is too good of a coach not to have a clear bit of brand/dna/team values/mission statement/vision statement/actionable item/a ha moment/blue sky thinking/competitive advantage/core competencies/deep dive/key take aways and lazer focus for his team not to play well some of the time.

    Seriously good player Dawson, probably in the top 3 for kicking in the AFL.

    A great game of footy between Dogs and Swans, Swans looking really good.

    Docklands seems far less soulless with the roof open I think. Perhaps the key is to pencil in all daytime games for the 3.20pm time slot when the sun is lower in the sky to negate the so called glare problem.

    • 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.
