Saints almost bottled it then found some heart, good on 'em.

    This is more than any of us could’ve dreamed of. With every loss they suffer, the Maynard incident gets a little less painful.

    THANK YOU FOOTY GODS!!!

    Why to Collingwood get an away game at their 'home' ground when Saints' home is Docklands??

    Apparently (well according to Eddie) it’s because when The AFL wanted to renegotiate the MCG contract to allow prelim finals to be held interstate, the MCG requested as compensation that it get the top drawing crowds during the home and away season.  Eddie did a deal at that point to guarantee 15 games for Collingwood at the MCG.

    Came up in my YouTube feed this week, some podcast with Eddie and Bartel if you want to watch it.  But I’d recommend listening to the Demonland podcast twice if you have time :.)

    It’ll never get less painful until, in 3 years time, I watch Steven May in his last game pre retirement, a grand final mind you, run from FB all the way to FF, to do an Entrecôte special on Maynard as the final siren blows and we walk away with a 100 point victory

    How sweet it is.

    Now the question is are the Saints good or the Pies really that bad?

    Is McRae the right guy?

    • 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.
