The kids in the house love it Dwayne!

How can "threads the needle" not be in the Dwayne bingo card?

His commentary is as pleasant as listening to someone dry retching

    In the snow?

    I went there with Moonshadow a few years ago  (Jack Watts was still with us) to see us flogged by GWS.

    One of the coldest/windiest days I've experienced .... anywhere.

    Brass Monkeys were calling for oxy torches.

    Good God man, it's never that cold!... but yea the coldest day I've ever experienced was an August day trip there with my dad . He said it was colder than where he worked in Northern Finland. It's 9 d c but the wind chill makes it 9 below.

    Hogan may not be a great set shot but his contested markings still pretty good. And after he crashes a pack open is good at following up, collecting the pill and finding a teamate quickly.

    We could really use him now.

    Sits back and calls for the ball to be delivered most of the time & most of the time from behind.

    If it falls into his 'preferred' drop zone he looks great and occasionally a million $$

    When it doesn't ...well.

    And it often doesn't, which then sees him sooking for it a la Richo.

    The diff is of course that Richo had a massive tank and worked his opponents over by running them allover the park and capitalising on the fall out.  Nick Reiwoldt the same.  If Hogan had that work ethic/attitude he'd probably be a diff kettle of fish.

    A free for holding the ball without being tackled?  Did I miss a new rule?

    Sounds like GWS are getting some traction in Canberra. I just heard six people start a Giants chant when they got within 35 points of Brisbane.

    So Neale picks the ball up and blind turns away from potential tackles, but then runs straight into a tackler.

    Had prior.... 4 umps.

    That's immediately HTB right there...blow the whistle.

    But nup..... im gonna give Neale all the time in the world to get out of this tackle even though he's already had more than sufficient prior.

    So what happens.... tackler spins him around as Neale's trying to escape tackle and Neale ends up on the turf with one arm pinged.

    After all that the umpire finally makes the call..... dangerous tackle!

    So whose fault is the end result?

    It's the umpire for not calling HTB immediately Neale spun away from his opponents and straight into that tackle.

    Ditector of Umpiring &/or AFL need to fix this blight on the game & pronto.

    • 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.
