Opposition hyperbole;

Perennial favourite Jack Darling as the Eagles most experienced tall didn’t deliver. Kept himself goalless, shaded almost effortlessly by Oscar Allen. 

Jayden Hunt on the other hand was amongst the Eagles best players. Performed like he had a point of prove. The way out west is paved with prolific possessions.

From the director’s chair;

Harry Petty’s move up forward may still be a work in progress, but he is not anywhere near Neitzian stature at this stage. Looks more comfortable under the Lever-May expert tutelage.

Tom MacDonald’s recharge at Casey got him sparking. The Master Chef panel at DL can now breathe easy. Tommy has 🔥’d up the barbecue and is cooking again, rather than been declared ‘cooked’. Bring out the carnivore!

Adjudication;

Get Optus Stadium’s desire to immediately empty itself of so many undesirables (West Coast supporters). But the rush to declare Bayley’s after the siren goal a point deserves a kick up the behind. So blatantly rushed, undignified and wrong. 

Broadcaster’s;

With Fox’s dreamteam of retiree power forwards. The Demon break-out after half-time must have been a relief. It was almost palpable.

Almost impossible to apply, allocate rankings or competitively indicate this week. Our team has evolved from individual praise on performance to a quality rating based upon linkages and game sustenance between 'groups' (large and small) of players in the process of decapitating an opposition comprehensively. Crowns for best on ground are pluralised in process chains across many increasingly worthy candidates, not just individual beneficiaries.

Fritsch and McDonald can consider themselves unlucky to miss out.

Interested to know what you saw as remarkable in Sparrows game to award him a vote?

I thought it was pretty much meat and three veg type stuff.

I thought Fritsch and Rivers were both great yesterday.  Tracc had a wonderful second half but I'm not sure he was best on over the whole game.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
