They'll be 15th, end of the round. But that's still a step up from 17th.

aHaHaHa, history in the making.

I'm just glad we got through unscathed as where still finding our Rhythum, to this stage.

We're waiting for the next few players to wake up and decide it's them thats going to lead', from the front. I'm waiting to see who'll be the ones to take up the mantle. We already know the regular ones, Beamer, Green, there was Junior and to a Lesser degree, bruce. But the door is ajar for some young tyke to KICK IT Open!

    Amazing comeback and win.

    I don't know what it means to Melbourne (probably very little) but it just shows us that we didn't play a great game but we were professional and did what we had to do.

    TBH I think this means pretty much sweet FA for Melbourne.

    As with any game nowadays, you can't really play the x beat y and y beat z so x should beat z (or something like that).

    Port were up by just as much as we were nearing 3/4 time. They're a flimsy rabble who are bottom 4 material. They would also have been coming down from the emotional euphoria of their showdown comeback the week before (which would've made them softer as they're easily pleased it would seem).

    I vaguely recall a stat about Port the week after the Showdown being putrid.

    So the Suns have more Home & Away games against Port at FP in five weeks of existence than we have in 11 years?

    Does anyone know the url for Power's supporter blog? I want to learn some new words and phrases?!

    Just goes to show how terrible Port is. They got up for the Showdown because they always do, but in essence they are a rubbish side.

    Port, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Richmond and North. Some weak teams right there.

    But well done to the Gold Coast for winning at a venue that we haven't won at for 10 years.

    • 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?
