just remember guys nick reiwoldt started in defence when he started playing.

Dazzle, really, he's all flash and No pan. Him and Montagna are the reasons the saints are rooster teasers. He's really about 60% as good as he appears. He's do well as a magician.

    I must add that the VFL reserves fixture is an absolute nightmare to work out.

    The Casey Scorpions have already had one bye earlier in the season and have a bye this week and again next week. That's three byes in their first eight rounds.

    They played their first and only home game for the season a fortnight ago when they beat Frankston by over 100 points. Their next two games after the byes are away from home so they don't play their second home game for the year until the mid-point of the season in round 11.

    The reserves have played five games this year, two of them against the Northern Bullants and, of course, both of them have been away games.

    Even in tomorrow's practice game against Cranbourne at Casey Fields there's no home ground advantage because the two clubs share the venue although there has been some controversy locally about that because the powers that be want the Cranbourne team to play on ovals other than the main ground. I don't want to buy into that particular issue but it's good to see the two clubs co-operating in holding this game and I wish that there was more of it in the area.

    The two byes in a row would have severely hampered the return of players coming back from injury like Jordie McKenzie, Robert Campbell and youngsters Troy Davis and Cameron Johnston so it's good to have a local club like Cranbourne coming in to lend support.

    Over the years of VFL alignments with both Sandringham and Casey, many players began their rehabilitation from injuries in the reserves sides and rather than dump alignments, we will be better off strengthening the local areas and teams in order to improve the standards of our lists and our support base.

    What a shambles. Maybe they should merge the VFL 2's with the TAC Cup? Would at least give 'the kids' (the TAC Cup ones) a chance to play against some mature players without being totally outclassed.

    I care about one thing and one thing only... The JMac getting through the whole match without his groin exploding, thus pushing his case for selection next week. Amen

    I hope they win convincingly. I want next weeks INs to be difficult choices - but in a good way.

    Please tell me Gawn is dominating the ruck and will be thrown into the side next week

    TMac: the forgotten man. Possibly because he's no good, and on the rookie list, but I liked what I saw in 2009, and he couldn't be worse than Bate.

    Half time: Bendigo Bombers 12.5.77 to Casey Scorpions 7.6.48

    Bendigo kicked the last four quarters just as Casey was fighting its way back into the game. I like Max Gawn's game in the ruck but then again, I am his sponsor :) .

    Jordie McKenzie hasn't lost the ability to tackle. Matthew Bate is doing well and will be back at Melbourne next week.

    • 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?
