    I just watched the last ten minutes of that quarter and the ball didn't go into our half.  It doesn't help when every kick out of defence seemed to find a Swans player.  They were all over us and should be in front.

    Half Time: Casey Demons 4.8.32 to Sydney Swans 4.5.29

    The ball hardly crossed into the Demons forward line in the second half of the quarter.

    Ground speakers playing Skyhooks “Livin in the 70’s” as I sit here feeling as if it’s just that. Spooky!

    so this game is going to finish over an hour before the main game.

    So much for curtain raisers

    what did the gap used to be?

    i remember seeing a few vfl / afl reserves games back in the late 80s and early 90s and it was never anything quite like that sort of gap between the magoos and the seniors

    Indeed. Is so quiet now, I can hear Balwyn calling.

    about 15 -20 minutes top.

    In the 80's the seconds would clap the firsts onto the field and then head up the race.

    Generally the last quarter was watched by very close to the match day crowd

    For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

    he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

    he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

    • 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.
