Interesting, Spargo comes across as being more mature than what I'd imagined. Though they all do. There's obviously a pattern to the drafting etc. the past few years. Todd Viney's influence?

    The Dynasty will be determined about how hungry they are. Nice signs here. Maybe still a little hungover and husky, but nice signs. Go Dees.

    Silly, silly little Crow fans, bit off more than they could chew. What's round and gold that hangs around Jake Lever's neck? A piece of footballing history that's what.😂😂😂

    Where are you now Texas? Needs to learn how to keep his big trap shut the boy.

    Fair suck of the sav. Tex made Robbo's top 50 list, so it's all square heading into 2022.

    "That last quarter was incredible"

    Ken oath it was! 9 goals to 1 ... over a match that's 36 to 4 and is 186 territory. Over a quality opponent and in a grand final!

    And it was the Melbourne Football Club that did it!

    GO DEMONS!!!

    That's strange the crap did not end after his second season, as we have been a much better side then them since he left them.

    Gee Gus really stepped up in the Gf.

    Has been solid all year but doesn't really  rip games apart like others. Turned it up three sixty degrees in the big one. Put his body on the line time after time. Miraculously moved from standing next to Bowie when Bowie kicked it and then turned up at the end of it to mark.

    Hasnt been great at goal kicking but nailed this one to put us back in front.

    Gus sounded like he'd had a few cigars 😁

    This may sound crazy , but is Spargs a potential captain? I think so.He is articulate and intelligent.And a premiership player.

    Great stuff!

     

    I love these little interviews.

     

    Very pleasing to hear that James Jordon is hungry for more success and looking forward to getting back to Pre-Season training for Season 2022!

    Words that are unfolding for me as these Tales unfold are quietness, humility, respect, wonder, embrace. What have others got?

    Maybe it's the 57 years - we'll see how they are after next year's premiership😉 - but I can't help thinking these boys stand apart for the character of their reflection, from the other teams who have been able to reflect on a premiership.

    Sometimes players and supporters forget the band of trainers who go to every game, getting very little reward for their efforts.

    The arrive well before the game and stay well after the game and do the training sessions.

    When I was at the club the players trained around 5pm to 7pm but we where there at 4pm to 8:30pm 2 days a week and match days we would start with the reserves and senior so we attended at 10am to 6:30pm.

    These people should be remember even though they did not kick a goal or handpass to a player but the show does not go on without them.

    Maturity beyond their years, selflessness, solidarity. There’s not a single big head amongst them.

    • 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.

    • 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.
