Final teams are in. No changes to either side.

Matthew Bate is our sub. That surprise me a bit, he doesn't offer a heck of a lot of run. I guess we're going down the Petterd path as we did in Round 1.

Jamie Cripps is St Kilda's sub.

Looking forward to seeing Evans take to the field, and McKenzie making his return. I'm glad they're both in the 21.

    A horrible sub selection, does not offer what a sub needs to offer

    Just about every sub this season appears to be the guy who lost the coin flip for the final position on the selected 21. Does not appear to be any rational thought processes applied to who will make a useful sub.

    Rubbish sub. Against a slow team on a fast ground we chose the slowest player in the side to be our sub.

    No idea what Bailey is doing.

    Better than him playing the whole game then right?

    A few thousand punters including myself stranded at Flinders Street waiting for the 1:40 to Glen Waverley to arrive. Apparently 5 minutes late but now scheduled to leave ten minutes after advertised departure. Can't believe Metro's contempt for its consumers. All it takes is one train to go one stop further.

    Anyway, I hope we don't miss anything.

    Having Bate as sub means he won't be a 'gear' off the pace like he usually is...

    With that said - I would not have had Petterd as sub against Sydney but he aided a change in momentum that nearly won us the game.

    And the good news about Bate being sub is that either Jordie or Evans will play a whole game, that's encouraging at least.

    Davey one touch at quarter time. Bailey needs to make a move to free him of the tag.

    • 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?
