Personally I'm sick of having had to listen about the Filth for the past week and not having a result to cheer/moan about. I ruddy well hope they don't keep it.

    Not much you can do about it when there are 17 teams.

    And can't see a reason it would be kept when we are back to an even number of teams next year.

    I don't mind havring a bye, or even 2 through the year, as long as there is another game of interest to attend.. EG: State of Origin, or even the Casey game.

    I don't like having both sides off for the same weekend.

    At least there's only a one day break between this round finishing and ours starting.

    I thought it would, but I'm liking the challenege of managing your players for the bye. I've got a lot of good, young players and multi-positional players on the bench, so I've been scoring pretty well.

    This round was a toughie for me - forced to play Cam Richardson despite the fact I thought he would be the sub (which he was) simply because my 3 other forwards were Bull, Jack Darling and Goodes.

    Yeah I had Richardson starting as well. Unfortunately I had Matera and his 127 points sitting on the bench!

    I had Matera and his 127 points out there =D

    I'm sitting on 1807 with Josh Gibson and Cyril still to play.

    Very much considering selling Jolly and grabbing Petrie now.

    If it ain't the dreaded "Late Omission" , we've gotta deal with the sub rule and also with the rounds so spread out you've got to submit your side without all teams sheets being finalised . Thank god we've had SC bye rounds , it's messing with my head more than usual . :wacko:

    Not to mention most of my big money guns are playing like Biaches . :(

    And this, ladies and gents, is why I sold Goddard for Swan at the end of round 2.

    On the back of one game against Richmond? has been rubbish until now.

    The dish is a stepping stone player into cox/sandi. sure he will gain another 100k but sounds like a waste of a trade...dont do it to yourself.

    • 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?
