They did this with Easton Wood. They never called him ‘Wood,’ It was always ‘Easton Wood.’

generally players with 3 or 4 letter surnames

Dow to Wood to Dale

Sounds somehow better to add the first name when you have a short surname

    The media’s focus this week should shift from Bevo to Lyon. 

    Sign Bevo up for another 4 years!

    Super coach

    I might pop over to the Saints bigfooty post match thread (shortly). Nothing like a bit of schadenfreude. 

    Did anyone else read the 'highlights' of Justice Lee's judgment in the Lehrmann defamation case? I recommend it. I especially loved the line "After escaping the lion's den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat." Comic gold.

    Is anyone else still actually watching the match?

    Saints weren’t ‘off’ either, they’ve just been mauled.

    I thought the H’uns front page was apt.

    R’pist and a loser.

    Bulldogs with +76 marks.  Has to be some sort of record?

    The Dees podcast all over the impact of the five day break. Saints were really lethargic reinforces why Dee’s were so flat. Five day break really warp the competition.

    True.

    What’s interesting is 3-letter surnames seem to be the ones that commentators don’t feel the need to include their first names. Eg: Cox, Ash, Yeo, Day.

    Unrelated: it’s gonna be a looooong six days. 😁

    @binman I was convinced that the saints had a bye next week after watching this performance.

    Saints are pretenders, a pretty B grade list overall. Dogs had the heat on all week, were gonna come out firing, glad I backed them (and didn't make the mistake of flipping last minute like I did last week when I initially backed the Bombers 🤬)

    Dogs aren't going anywhere either mind you, two really vanilla teams who put on a snooze fest. Compromising the fixture with 5 day breaks so we can put on games like this no one wants to watch?

    Which jones was that.  There are two out there but only one Williams.

    Commentator just called Bailey Williams. 

    There's only one player on the ground with that surname.

    Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

    Media last fortnight - Wilson and Cornes, 'Bevo's lost the players'. & 'Lyon the super coach'

    Dogs, 'Hold my Beer'.

    Have always thought these two snipers play the man and not the ball. 

    Really glad the Dogs pulled together. I have no great love of the team, but always felt the coach was a stand up guy and cops a few low blows.

    And Sam Darcy is going to give Jackson a run for his money in the hybrid ruck stakes, amazingly well composed young man.

    Yep the Saints had 3 games in 11 days while we had 3 in 13.

    For Melbourne supporters solely or mostly blaming our recent schedule for our loss to Brisbane, then I think it’s more than fair that those same supporters absolutely excuse St Kilda’s performance last night.

    Was the second 5 day break for the Saints this season. They couldn’t keep up with the Dogs after only 5 minutes. 
    Rowan Marshall was absolutely gassed, only had 11 possessions and he’s been averaging 20.

    Agree. The whole attack on Bevo was way over the top. On statistics alone,  Bevo has been the the most successful Dogs coach in 140 years of football. That team needs to be given a kick up the proverbial and Bevo has done that with Daniel, McCrae, Dale and others. He is an innovator but also a players coach. Cornes, Wilson and Barrett all did hatchet jobs this week. Shameful. He's a good Melbourne man and best mates with Jason Taylor so he's alright with me!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
