Perhaps it should read '1 - Todd Viney's sperm'.

Well he is "fluid" in his motion, and we are talking about a "ball" game.

    Recent history would suggest just being in the vicinity of Jack Viney whilst wearing opposition colours causes serious injury.

    Incorrectly naming him in a match report...

    the consequences are almost unfathomable.

    More interesting than a typo is that one coach thought Howe was BOG and the other thought he was second best. That wasn't reflected in the voting for the Demonland POTY votes.

    If anyone can be bothered, it would be an interesting exercise to compare the coaches votes with the Brownlow votes and the Demonland votes at the end of the year. It would demonstrate the real difference in perspective between the fans, the umpires and the coaches.

    lol Go Todd

    On a related note, the Father - Son rule has to be the best rules in any sport in the world and a massive credit to the AFL for conceiving it

    Its great to have that connection to the team from earlier generations, Todd Viney was a lot of peoples favorite player back in his day and he was a real heart and soul player for us a long time and a great skipper

    and now we have the please of watching his son play for us

    Nice use of the word "conceiving"

    Actually... If what I have read is true Melbourne actually lobbied the then VFL to create the Father/Son rule.

    Carlton were the first to actually benefit from it.

    Later, one Ronald Dale Barrassi Jr was recruited via this rule.

    Anyone able to confirm?

    And the B&F.

    Of course, the different voting systems blur the outcome. Doesn't the MFC B&F give players a mark from the Senior Coach and some or all assistant coaches (or Match Committee?) from 1 to 7 for each game played? So a player who had the worst day imaginable, but was out there, will get votes under that model.

    You have to feel sorry for the other sperm that competed with Jack on the road to their mum's egg. They never had a chance.

    • 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?
