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!

”The watch with Ben Gibson” 

 
 

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.

Only actually 34, I guess he got delisted in his mid 20s

There you have it. No more correspondence should be entered into.

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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
