I've been praising him all season, but even I was surprised to hear tonight that he has been averaging something like 28 disposals over the past few weeks.

I have loved him for years, and am so happy to see his efforts at training really starting to pay off, been a revelation so far this year

    Really pleased with Morton tonight.....a really good step...showed some run and didnt kick as poorly as usual.

    I hope he can take the next step...

    I was surprised that Morton was retained ahead of Maric or Petterd, but I'm happy to say I also saw something to like in Morton tonight. He actually has some pace when he's got the ball and an opponent on his tail. Disposals weren't great, but endeavour definitely improved.

    everyone said Strauss was worse than Zakarakis? Flogged him tonight for mine!!

    Thought Strauss was good tonight. Have often wondered why he is marked hard by a few on here. Considering he's been injured quite a lot & has played less than five games I think he has shown glimpses of what he can become.

    I too have been a knocker of Jones, not his endeavor...just his disposals...but Jonesey tonight well done!

    Thrilled with this win. It doesn't change how I feel about the way they played last week, but it shows that the team can match some pretty impressive opponents when they put their minds to it. Now I want to see them play like that every week.

    He's going to get killed.

    Plus they may well be without Judd that week, it'll be down to their young brigade to stand up.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
