THE LAST TIME THEY MET

It was in the first half of 2010 but who could ever forget the day when our colours were red and pink and we nicely matched the umpires. So much so that we found a new way to lose a game - by handballing to an umpire instead of a teammate.

I reckon we owe the Dogs one for that game. They kicked the last two goals and just fell in.

    That's 10-12 MFC players difference in one year, with Cameron Bruce, James McDonald, Daniel Hughes and Paul Johnson no longer at the club and Matthew Warnock, Clint Bartram, Lynden Dunn, Aaron Davey, Jack Grimes, Neville Jetta, Joel Macdonald, Michael Newton out of favour or likely to be out injured...

    PJ was horrendous that night.

    A couple of goal-umpire decisions went against us too. Green's scissor kick and then Lake allegedly touching Bate's (IIRC) long bomb. Also IIRC, one was definitely a goal and one was a behind, so we got dudded there.

    Seem to remember Danny Hughes doing his job pretty well and kicked one or two. Considering it was his first game and he only played a couple I was surprised he got delisted last year.

    Bate also not in the team... that's 13 different..

    Extreme! :blink:

    But in a good way, mostly.

    And of course who can forget Tom Scullys massive final quarter, 18 possies for 39 in total, in a game that made the football world stand up and take notice that the kid may just be an elite.

    Ahhh yes... the umps in pink. Total disarray. Ugh! A shocker...

    But what about the Jamie Bennell screamer on the wing in those wet conditions as well as his turn-around, spin-around, run backwards snap at goal?? Showed class in the wet conditions...

    I was majorly peeved - two interventions by field umpires to cancel out goals to us, plus the crucial turnover on the members' wing late in the final term when Bartram mistook an umpire (in pink top and blue shorts for chrissake!) for a team mate.

    We were royally screwed that night. Let's hope we repay the 'dogs what we owe em - which is plenty.

    The worst one was the 2nd quarter where CB handballed straight to one cos he was hot in the midfield. They grabbed it and turned it around for a goal. Terrible.

    • 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?
