    I'm up on the Gold Coast and I'm off to see the Scorpions play Gold Coast at Southport tomorrow.

    It's going to be tough missing the Dees game at Etihad but the warm weather and the fact that I can tape the game which is shown live here is some consolation.

    I've done a little bit of detective work and am pretty sure that Jared Rivers is a designated emergency for the AFL game at Etihad.

    It appears that he didn't fly up with the Casey players this afternoon because at around 5pm on Twitter he announced:

    "Just hitting up the movies with the boys."

    A few of the "boys" (including Nathan Jones and Ricky Petterd) went to see Iron Man 2. After viewing that pap they should be ready to kill tomorrow.

    My guess is that Jake Spencer will also remain in Melbourne as an emergency for the North game and, if not required, will play in the ruck on Sunday for the Casey 2's where he was also selected.

    I don't know whether the VFL rules limit teams to 12 AFL listed players against Gold Coast but if they do then Rohan Bail could also miss out.

    Still, it will be a good opportunity to view how Jack Watts is travelling!

    It's a beautiful day on the Gold Coast with the temperature expected to reach the high 20's.

    I haven't seen the ground before but, with conditions like these, I would expect the roof will definitely be off :) !

    My spies tell me that Rohan Bail is up here but he may not have recovered from his quad injury. I think it's likely that the Scorps will go in with 12 Demons in the team as per the starting 18 minus Rivers.

    I can see Daniel Bell out there but no sign of Bail, Rivers or Spencer.

    Also saw Jeff White out there with the Gold Coast team. He's the ruck coach.

    The GC is a tall side

    So did Watts kick a goal or not?

    Just got home from the game. For the first time in forty years parked the car beside the boundary fence, and watched the game from the comfort of the front seat. Was able to greet each Casey goal with a long blast of the horn. Great fun! (Pity about the ABC commentary of the Melb match to put a real downer on the day!)

    Was my first VFL match, so can't comment too much on the quality of the game. But, the scores were pretty close all day, and the two teams seemed to have a pretty even tussle of it.

    Have to say wasn't actually overwhelmed by the performances of most of the Melb players. Must admit was hard for my old eyes to pick up a lot of the play on far side of the ground. But from what I did see:

    Miller -- Apart from a couple of excellent goals, thought he was ordinary at this level,

    Newton -- About the same as Miller,

    Watts -- Really didn't do much, either.

    Maric -- couple of nice things, but nothing to get excited about,

    Jetta -- Rarely sighted. Couple of good chases, but almost seemed disinterested on occasions,

    Gysberts -- Did a few nice things, but again nothing startling,

    Cheney -- did some nice things, and was solid in defence,

    Strauss -- as per Cheney,

    Johnson -- again, nothing spectacular,

    Hughes -- thought he was just about the best of the Melb listed players. Did some really good things.

    Healey -- didn't see much of him.

    Bell -- Hardly sighted.

    McNamara -- did a few nice things.

    Spoke to Casey runner before the game. He said Bail is still struggling with a real bad corkie, so unable to play.

    So, from my point of view, a good, workan-like performance from the team to run out winners by about a goal. But, alas, didn't really see any performances where any of the Melb players stood up and demanded a place in the Melb side next week. But, I can stand corrected!

    Also, was great to meet Whispering Jack at half time and have a good chat. Didn't realise he was Andy's old man!

    Anyway, think I'll now watch just the third quarter of the Melb match...!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
