The Xerri v Nankervis ruck battle was decent.  Nank definitely the Tigers best and Xerri continued his good form.  Xerri took the chocolates in AFL fantasy but Nank won supercoach.  Was a good old fashioned 80's style ruck battle. Some of Nank's touch in the last quarter was exceptional.  Xerri is the heir apparent to Max.  He can take a decent grab.

    Fun fact: Rory Laird’s parents sat with us in the cheer squad last night (really lovely couple). His mum is and always has been a passionate Demons diehard. Right now they’re at Mordor watching their son play in what’ll likely be a loss. Not a good footy weekend for the Lairds. 😢

    Thilthorpe is a beast. Causing real problems for the Cats.

    Players getting penalised for attacking the ball by being deemed holding the ball, can’t stand it. Hate AFL HQ for what they have done this year.

    that HTB against Fogarty was ridiculous. what was he supposed to do?

    He has improved out of sight. Going to be a star.

    Media say anything about him playing, without any punishment at all, for at the least, being out at 3.00 am at a nightclub last week, drinking and maybe doing more and ending up unresponsive, taken by ambulance to hospital?

    Can imagine the coverage if it was a lesser club. Absolute silence from a totally beholden media.

    All this adulation for Pendles makes me feel crook.

    Blues could end the round in 8th with a loss. They were second a couple of weeks ago, crazy.

    I really wish the AFL would make Carlton wear some poxy alternative jumper against Collingwood.

    preference is a pies win. They're unlikely to play finals and a loss will keep carlton out of the top 4

    Aside from beating North this will be 5 losses for Sydney on the trot

    fkking joke

    just a hiccup for the good Geelong boy

    Cats will regret their weak and unsupportive approach to Tyson’s situation. they care about winning, that’s all

    • 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.
