1 - Grimes

Much the same top six or so as last week - the issue is the others who played quite well last week played poorly today (McDonald, Georgiou, Bail, Watts, Tyson, Dunn, Spencer).

    6 - Nathan Jones: The Ablett-matchup didn't quite work, but his form was again outstanding and IMO, he will make AA at this rate.

    5 - Jack Viney: not necessarily the most talented kid I've seen wear red and blue, but right up there with the most impressive.

    4 - Chris Dawes: extremely wasteful, but cannot question his effort and worth to this side. Worth every cent.

    3 - Daniel Cross: consistent player.

    2 - James Frawley: like Dawes, he was wasteful. But certainly makes us look better in the F50.

    1 - Jeremy Howe: wasteful, but some decent signs.

    Apologies: nil

    6. N Jones - all heart, no fear. Our champ.

    5. Dawes - wasteful, but the good far outweighs the bad

    4. Viney - busted a gut for us today. Will only get better as the season progresses.

    3. Frawley - great work-rate, but needs to hold more grabs

    2. Cross - worked very hard against the odds

    1. Grimes - building into form. Hard and reliable.

    Nope. Not today. Today was the Dunn of old - his kicking out of the back line was woeful, too many times he went with the 'I can kick 50 metres, let me show you' kicks, which go a long distance but go straight up too.

    Having a good year, but today was not a good game from Dunn. Prefer him forward, I'd like to see Roos work on a way to get him forward and Pedersen back.

    6. N Jones : Tired all day

    5. Viney: Hard all day

    4. Dawes: Our best forward but needed 4.2 not 2.4

    3. Frawley: Looks dangerous every time he came in the game but only made fleeting appearances
    2. Cross: Tried all day again but like the other two mis in the votes lacks polish

    1. Kennedy-Harris: Came into the game and did enough in the second half to pinch this vote based on no one else doing any more than him

    Hard to argue with any of the votes, but Dawes and Frawley's misses cost us the game.

    Maybe. I'd say the umpires giving them multiple free kicks inside their attacking 50 cost us the game personally. Disgraceful display today.

    6. N. Jones (this has become a cut and paste each week now. I wish someone else would stand up)

    5. Dawes

    4. Viney

    3. Frawley

    2. Bail (his job on Harbrow was very effective)

    1. Cross.

    the nomination of 6 players is definitely one too many today when you see players such as Howe, Bail, Jay K-H & Pederson get the 1 point nomination.

    Howe & J K-H weren't sighted in the 1st half and played respectable 2nd halves, Bail is another one of our midfielders who just doesn't get it enough and when he does is so poor by foot. I thought Pedo was ok and has moved from SPUD to Serviceable over the last couple of weeks, but to mention any of these players in the context of "getting votes" is laughable.

    6 - N.Jones ( has added class and inspiration to his repertoire )

    5 - Dawes ( the epitome of determination )

    4 - Cross ( we couldn't ask for a more professional senior player )

    3 - Jetta ( was often found in precarious situations , but was rarely beaten )

    2 - Viney ( lacks polish but is learning quickly .. will be a star )

    1 - Grimes ( consistent and calming )

    Their hard work in the forward line kept us in it.

    • 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?
