    I sometimes get a kind of gastro reaction to certain smells, like badly burnt toast or that acrid black smoke that comes if low smoke-point oils go into a too-hot wok. Like clockwork, three separate urgent trips to the bathroom in the space of 20-30 minutes, and then everything fine again.

    Anyhoo.

    Just thought I'd help take people's mind off this game.

    That is some quality comedy.

    Coffee for me every time LG. I have to know where the nearest WC is before I buy one if I'm out somewhere.

    If it’s a choice between LJ coming back or keeping Kozzie, the choice is an extremely easy one for mine.

    For all of his talent, Luke rarely influences games.

    Watch LJ's footwork during the miracle minute compared to his footwork now. Chalk and cheese.

    I'm glad Freo are getting thumped. Fast becoming one of my least liked clubs.

    This will be St Kilda's high water mark of the season.

    The traditional Vietnamese drip coffee is sphinctal anxiety in a cup for me.

    Which is unfortunate given my now copious connections to Vietnam and the fact that the circumstances where choices are limited that way are also the moments where emergency WC (Bathroom, not Eagles) access is not reliable.

    Freo have spent the whole of tonight looking like their most immediate concern is indeed the nearest bathroom.

    The top 8 really is open for any team which gets some consistency in their game.

    He was horrific tonight night. It was way over the top for a player known to have games like this. His best and worst are miles apart.

    We can all be bemused by the Shockers tonight. They got unequivocally dacked.

    They still managed one thing we haven't all season.

    Kick 3 goals in the last...

    Let that sink in.

    We really have to do better.

    Saints playing an impressive version of the gamestyle Goody is trying to instill in us.

    We play the Saints twice on way home, huge games to come.

    I dread to think how boring those games will be

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
