Excellent Cale Morton interview with Ben Gibson, well worth a look/listen: I saw it on YouTube. Fascinating insight into the down years a decade or more ago. Morton certainly comes across as a pretty smart bloke!

    Cale was also on the Sunday footy show (I think) a few weeks ago and came across really well then as well. Been in a very good paddock by the looks and seems like a smart young man.

    Good listen. I thought Gibby was going to ask him point blank if it was true that Gawn spewed on Tom Scully in China but they didn’t go into a lot of detail on that front..

    Gawn has probably qualified for an autobiography when he retires, and I'm hanging out for big vom revelations.

    Yeah finally managed to put on a bit of weight which is nice. Another preseason and he'll be ready to roll.

    Surely a job for Demonblog publishing.. 

    it just struck me how if you’d asked 1000 people in 2010 which of Max & Scully would be the 6x all Australian, 2x B&F winner, premiership-winning captain of an AFL club and which one would be none of those things approximately 0 of those people would’ve picked Max. Absolutely absurd how things turned around.

    If Max is up it we can go minimum 500 pages.

    And Dusty would have been handy before $cully or Trengove, who even at his fittest still looked a tad slow. The Dusty and Max draft would have been epic.

    There hasn't been a footy biography for real sickos since The Red Fox. Time to go again.

    We had 4 picks within the first 20 and six overall at that draft. Max was taken as our fifth pick behind Scully, Trengove, Gisberts and Tapscott. Imagine if you had a crystal ball and we had selected:
    Martin, Cunnington, Fyfe, Gawn (of course), Duncan and picked up Dylan Grimes with pick #1 in the pre-season draft.  We'd have won six premierships with that list, although in second thoughts we probably would have debuted them all on Queens Birthday and scarred them for life.

    They would have been Melbournised and delisted within 3 years

    I’d say take my money now but you’re gonna need to wait til he retires to get all the good gear, hopefully 2030ish

    The only thing Scully had going for him was his elite fitness, was never going to be a great player, Dustin Martin was always a better player then Scully, but back then how you ran was put far to high as a  Quilty

    D****d Autocorrect!

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
