That is the sort of mark every person dreams of taking when you play kick to kick with your mates at the park.

Textbook. Awesome.

Just love the split second of hangtime once the mark was taken.

Oxygen sapping at that height!

There are many things about this mark that remind me of Shaun Smith's at the GABBA.

For starters they are both number 29 and they were both taken on their skipper's head.

Such a good mark.

It seemed effortless. He just glided in to the air - it was more of a forwards-upwards floating motion rather than Robbo's heavy-looking straight-up jumps.

Truly awesome.

If this is what Newton can produce in just his 4th game, it looks like we have a decade of highlights in front of us!

Staker was holding his opponent & visa versa, the ball was just about passed him, he stuck out the mitt and took it as cleanly as a whistle, whilst pretty much being parallel to the ground.

Was a great mark as well, but doesn't have the WOW factor of a true speccie. Juice got that one down pat easily.

Definitely the angle on this thread...

I saw it happen at the ground, from just about EXACTLY the same angle as the camera shot we've seen replayed throughout the week. I remember thinking "if this wasn't such a crappy match, and awful time to be a dees supporter I might be more bouyant.

But watching it again and again... it just plain doesn't get any better than that. We over-use the word special, but in this case that's EXACTLY what it was. He even kicked the goal.

The only thing denying it from being perfect was the fact that he was attempting to take it with his hands, which you love to see, but he ended up missing it and taking it on the chest. Not the absolute perfect execution but near enough to it, and technique-wise you can't fault the placement of a single muscle fiber.

My mates and I were all prepared for a 60 point loss, so that highlight was worth the price of admission. I'd missed his first few games of footy because of work committments, and was afraid I'd miss his first bag of 4 or more. I'm just so pleased that after backing him in all year I rocked up and he didn't let me down.

Congratulations Juice... You're well on the way to making hoardes of demons fans (all 17 of them) fall in love with you. Keep working the way you're working and you'll start to hear crowds applauding you en masse, and people cheering your name...

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the kind of player who is capable of the kind of skills that bring people to MFC matches that don't even barrack for the red and blue.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b
