Amazing how many media ‘experts’ were talking up a Richmond renaissance in the preseason. Even after we belted them in a practice game, you had Whately carding on about it being like racehorse training and that Richmond were holding back and letting their stable mate show their hand. Complete nonsense 

I haven't watched 360 since all that rubbish Whately and Robbo were foaming on about and that Dusty might be back to his best. It really sounded like they were paid to say it.

    I see Luke Jackson had a good game last week in the the most 'off broadway' of games you could possibly get (GC Suns at Norwood during business hours)

    Let's see how the contested marking beast goes tonight on the biggest stage of all - Friday night footy!

    A loss to the Dogs tonight would be perfect.

    With games coming against Brisbane (gabba), Hawks, Swans (SCG), Geelong and then us they could potentially be 3-8 after 11 rounds and season over.

    Love this death ride.

    It's time for the Western Bulldogs to rocket back up the free-kick ladder. May the umpires miss every one of Libba's throws!

    C'mon doggies!

    Not sure what GC saw in Mac Andrew to draft him so high.

    I wonder if we would have taken him if he got through to our first pick.

    Instead of JVR? Or different draft?

    I think in any draft 'Gonzo'...I must admit to not seeing much of him at all but he looks highly speculative.

    GC have that many picks I guess they can afford that risk but...I don't know.

    I think we would have taken him, and developed him a hell of a lot better than GC ever will.

    He would have spent 2 years at Casey, and learning from Gawn and he would end up a good player.

    GC is the wrong place for him

    We apparently have his brother in our Academy squad.

    Expecting a new rule that bans any brother of a player who was in MFC Academy and is playing at another club, from going to the MFC.

    Sounds legit.

    No doubt that GC is absolutely the worst place for him to develop. I've got no idea how good he's going to be or if he can play but he's got some good tools and raw material to work with. Would have loved him as a Casey project.

    He looked good though. Easily his best game for them.

    How sustainable is it for them to rely on Jackson kicking from 50?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
