Brayshaw must have snorted a line, had 5 energy drinks, drank 3 cups of coffee and had a Boost drink. He is chirping along like a chipmunk.

May all your dreams come true.

If anyone wants to clip this magic moment and let us all lip-read her epic 'thank you', it is just after 3:38:00 on the Kayo broadcast.

Seriously, I nominate it for video of the week.  absolute   magnificent

Jack Viney best on field, Brett Rosebury must feel ripped off.

Positives - Viney immense, Oliver influential, Van Rooyen silencing the doubters, Chandler on the rise, Lever making key intercepts, Gawn/Grundy combination grinding the Tigers down, great team effort in the last quarter, huge crowd.

Negatives - vulnerable against speedy counter-attacks, a bit lucky the under-strength Tigers missed a few very gettable shots at goal, Steven May again below his best.

Verdict - a gritty win, and in the end that's all that counts.

As far as backline goes, we look way more steady with the 3 talls down back with Petty freeing up one of May/Lever to intercept.

Agree, Petty has to go back. Hopefully JVR can build confidence after that last Q and be our prime target up forward

Good win,  sometimes you need to grind it out.  I usually hate umpire bashing because I try take my Red and Blue glasses off but it is hard.  But after scrolling through twitter I wasn't alone in thinking it was horrible and sided with Rich.

Still some stuff to work out, Petty up fwd is done, only an in game move now.

Our back flankers and pockets need to sort out who is going for the tackle or smother, they and May are all sitting back to get the easy kick.

Gawn/Grundy can get back to it

And Ben Brown is needed to start in that side, can be subbed if not affecting the game, but with Gawn and Grundy he is a threat. More than Melksham anyways

I know we won and it was more gritty than pretty football but what the eff, how shocking were the umpires !! 
They were a disgrace.  My mate who barracks for Richmond did not disagree. Using his words ‘we had a few dubious ones go our way’.

Anyhow, got the four points, one week at a time etc, etc.

25 points down would have to be the biggest lead we’ve pegged back since the Geelong round 23 2022 game?

Thats a relief. We gave up many similar leads last season.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
