Went from 87.7% to 116.2%. Thanks Suns.

So it's not all doom an gloom. Could come in handy later in the season.

    Just imagine what it could have been if we didn't hit the post 6 times and we got that goal at the end of the 1st quarter

    And if we had actually played well.

    As I said in other threads , we play Gc twice while teams who have drawn only once, % is vital

    I thought we played ok all considered. Sure the 3rd wasn't the best and at times frustrating, but 90 points....could have been 110 point but for the posters and Frawley's opponents lucky snap, but you'd take that sort of win....interstate and all.... .

    I was so disappointed with today really nice to get a win and by 90 yep, but really who else will we beat playing like we did? Port? Brisbane? not many others

    We just bombed it long to big bodies who are big coz they were playing kids, i liked what i saw from a few people such as trenners, bail, tapscott coming on, morton ect but just didnt think we were clinic in anything we did

    I thought it interesting when the commentators mentioned how it is usually unimportant when you have a draw but this year, with all the draws, it will come into play in a big way. StK, Carl, Ess, Syd and us could all be fighting for the one spot*.

    *Apols to Richmond but you are just crap.

    It depends, if the spot is 9th Richmond are always in the running :)

    What could prove to be the difference between Melbourne either playing finals or just missing out may be the return match against Gold Coast at the G in about round 21.

    The Suns have their Second bye in round 8 or 9 so with their players'physical and mental fatigue couple with injuries, an on song Melbourne could and should post a 20 goal plus victory.

    If they are serious about taking the next step then they really have to start destrying sides when they're in the position to do so, rather than cruising to unimpressive six goal wins

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
