Ever noticed how the commentators always call Easton Wood by both his names, never just "Wood"?

It's as if there's a player out there called "Easternwood".

I always used to wonder what Garyablettjunior's first name was

 

 

Mr Eddiebetts is another in that exclusive club

    Good to see a nice wet weather slog. The winner will be knackered.

    Isn’t that just up the road from Colinwood?

    100% jaded…I was going to type that but assumed it went without saying.

    My brain is finding it so difficult to comprehend Oliver’s last two games. He is the best player in the comp and the best player I’ve ever seen in an MFC jumper…admittedly I’ve only been supporting our great club since 87 so didn’t see much of Flower

    Different beasts.

    Meaningless anecdote, my Phys-Ed teacher in Auckland in late 70’s was Easton’s dad, Phil. He was the Australian triple jump champ at the time (followed his love to NZ). He was never called Mr. Wood, just Philwood. True thing.

    Oh right. I used to call him "the little (something else)". Thank you for the correction!

    All the free kicks have been there, the last one a bit iffy. He is playing in front or first to the ball in the wet. Of course he will get free kicks. Dumb defence of a small forward by the Bombers.

    Weightman gets about 2 or 3 goals from frees a match. Has had 3 from frees today. 

    He’s had 5 free kicks, 4 goals from them, and I reckon he vaguely deserved one of them.

    The Dogs 5 goals from 7 are free kicks. 4 of those to Weightman.

     

    You have to be kidding. Pathetic umpiring.

    The difference in this game is free kicks. The commentary team is finally coming hard at the umpires about it.

    It’s been ridiculous.

    2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    cody weightman - three four frees, three four goals

    And he’s even more unlikeable after Eddie was explaining that he is a family friend…Eddie being the ever self indulgent [censored]

  • Quote

    Essendon should bring up the umpiring post game regardless of consequence. The bulldogs are being handed this. Frees in front of goal. Frees going one way and not the other. I hate both teams and don’t have a dog in this fight but I am very over the umpiring handing the dogs opportunity week after week.

    partly on Essendon for their inability to convert too.

  • Quote

    That Weightman free kick for in the back on the boundary is just about the softest free I have ever seen. To pay that on the boundary in the wet in a final after the ball was disposed (i.e., the push didn't even affect the kick) is disgraceful.

    I'm glad we didn't have to play in Tassy. 

    Can’t rule it out though. A few cases in Perth …….

    I can see Weightman becoming one of the most hated players in the league

    Yes though in fairness he didn’t even stage for that last gift

    Port are going to destroy either of these two teams or Brisbane.

    Never has a Grand Final spot been more assured.

    Brisbane are not a bad side. Came up against a juggernaut last night.

    The wet’s made this a bit of a mullet wrestle.

    • 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?
