Carlton beat us in the 2023 semi.

North beat in the 1998 prelim.

Hawthorn beat us in the 1988 GF.

But we beat them all when it counted in this monumental 2018 tournament.

    Three years later, we took the big one out for the men and a year later, for the women.

    Time for some more …

    Few fresh-faced there! Look at Baker's mop!

    Bring it back.

    Not as stupid as it sounds. The mistake was to introduce it first at the elite level with absolutely weird promotion.

    Rugby 7's and touch football (NRL) are good examples of game adaptations. Futsal and indoor cricket are other instances.

    Build from a community/school base is the way to start IMO

    Gil: Ok, AFLX.. how are we going to promote this?

    intern: First, we need two dudes in women’s bathers from the 1950’s but with the chest area cut out. And then, we get one of the dudes to stand on the head of the other guy and get him to squat down.

    At the time everyone was making it a joke, well how did we go that year, I always thought it was a positive title to win, and showed that this team is a really good team.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
