    Highs-
    Winning 10 on the trot to start the year even though we appeared to be running purely on Adrenaline.

    Getting to see the boys live in Alice and seeing Kozzie light the place up with 6 goals against Port.

    Our huge wins against Dockers and Lions on their home turf when we were playing for a top 4 spot.

    As mentioned by Spirit the win against Carlton and that goal by Kozzie.

    Lows-

    The three losses in a row and wondering why the wheels had finally fallen off.

    The second Collingwood loss was such a hard fought and bitter loss.

    The two finals defeats and trudging back to the car in the muddy MCG car park knowing that our boys had fought valiantly but in the end had run out of legs and that we had lost that superhuman competitive edge.

    Luke Jackson pulling the pin on our magnificent Football Club and that really hurt more than when Hogan deserted us.

    You hit every nail directly on the head. All I was thinking, you wrote. Signing a few of our big guns was a highlight for me as well.  Bring in 2023.

    Yeah, yeah, Naarm. (I’m learning to talk like an Aussie after being out of the country for 25 of the last 30 years.)

    The AFLW season and premiership was the highlight for me in 2022.

    The way they played and the spirit they played with I found really engaging.

    Absolutely spot on.

    To beat Freo and Brisbane away in such comprehensive fashion gives us hope that we can rebound back to our 2021 form in which we were almost unbeatable against the best sides.

    • 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.
