    But we are Melbourne, injuring pain and suffering is what we do best.

    (With toungue firmly in cheek, and my flail for self flagelation close to hand i say)

    Being the pre eminent team in Melbourne as Melbourne is what we do best, the 50's were not an aberration but a standard, until the curse of the red fox we were 12 premierships firmly in hand, switching from an amateur based club enthralled to the MCC did us no favours but make no mistake our place is in the September sun.

    He does mince his words. He can't string a sentence together. One of the most inarticulate speakers I've ever seen on television and there are a lot of incoherent US politicians to compete with. This guy is meant to be the Head Football Writer though.

    Someone forgot to tell him that and he's trying to speak. I'm not sure his writing is particularly good anyway, Pat Smith plays him on a break there.

    I am so glad to see the back end of this season. It was so draining. I lost interest in round 15.

    I hope we do get Roos, will give me some hope for next year.

    • 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?
