I'm guessing you watched the game from The Abbey Earl?

Yes I managed to make my way up to one of the spires to watch the second half on my phone between ceremonies. Big day, what with me riding in to the Abbey the King’s Cavalry and me holding the Royal Sceptre aloft!

Hard to pick six really on a day when quite a few were below their best.

6 Gawn - steadied the ship at vital moments.

5 Brayshaw - unspectacular but worked his socks off.

4 Viney - tigerish as always in a struggling midfield.

3 Oliver - did his share of the hard yakka.

2 Bowey - gave some more illustrious names a lesson in ball distribution under pressure.

1 Chandler - purely on the ground of his outstanding goal just when it was needed.

From the Director's chair;

Daniel Turner must have run over the team mascot. Keeps getting thrown to wolves. Debut game last year's Queen's Birthday concussed by a rampaging Chubb safe. Late inclusion for this game. He gets locked in the gorilla's cage with Levi Casboult. Poor bloke must be thinking 'third time lucky', "maybe I'll get an opponent where I can successfully compete given my experience and physical abilities."

Opposition Hyperbole watch;

Gold Coast Suns have some top draft picks. Lukosius has a nice accurate long goal kick, flashes in and out of the play. Rowell scurries around the pack like hyperactive sunburnt crab, but seems lost outside his environment. Anderson moves well and certainly gets a lot of the ball without too much menace. Ben King would hardly register a blip today, except he was given free kicks which enabled him to kick two goals. Seem like a bunch of nice boys.

Adjudication;

The bounce is dead.

Broadcasters;

Dunstall and Russell pension them off.

    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
