On a sad note, Rivers looks a quarter of the player he used to be.

I thought he'd be a huge beneficiary of the 'zoning' off Geelong system but he looks completely lost.

**** Sydney are good though. Start talking to Tom Mitchell now Demons.

Don't know what you've been watching arrow, but Riv has had a good year, on the whole.

    Have not seen the cats so tired and lethargic and error ridden for ages. The Swans are in cruise control. Two six day breaks against a side thats had the bye. Does this give us extra hope for our game.?

    An idea for the living allowance which would make it fairer is that the Swans are given the same salary cap as everyone else. Once they have their list, say in november, the AFL then distributes that extra million by dividing it between the 45 players, which would then give each player an extra 20k.

    at the moment the whole point of COLA is lost if that extra mill is used on one player. Im pretty sure Derrikx is not seeing too much of the COLA.

    My idea means that the COLA is used for what the acronym says its used for.

    Too early for the AFL to step in and sort out this mess down at Sleepy Hollow?

    Meanwhile those nailed to Etihad Stadium wither and die....?

    I haven't seen them fumble like this in the past 10 years at least.

    Maybe, to paraphrase ND, "they didn't come out to play tonight"!

    As an aside - if Goodes wore red and blue I suspect that his high contact after jumping off the ground would at least "come under scrutiny". (Dawes' impact was certainly less than his. )

    It would seem logical, so it won't get off the ground.

    After all, certain marquee players probably have much higher expenditures on certain expensive items than the majority.

    Swans currently unstoppable.

    Cats may have seen the tide finally turn, for the worse.

    Wow... They have scored a goal almost every time they go forward this quarter.... That extra mil is making the cats look like GWS...

    I enjoy it more when the talent is spread in a fair and even way.

    Vlad and his cohorts want Sydney flags. We and the rest are merely catching up.

    I hope you can understand this.

    The swans are only as good as gws is, and the suns are only as good as brisbane bears are, if that makes any sense.

    I didn't realise just how good Tippett is to be totally honest, i'd nearly rate him as high as buddy on current form, these blokes are going to be hard to stop from winning the premiership

    Best I have seen him play since the 2012 prelim where he almost got the Crows over the line

    The fixture and uneven salary cap just make this game such an awesome experience.

    Whilst the Swans forwards are imposing the game was won up the ground where they were able to run at will from half back and through the middle. As we know your defence is defenceless if the ball comes in like it was tonight.

    The Cats put no real pressure on the runners where the Swans did the reverse.

    having a $ million + forward line sure helps.

    • 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?
