the Swans won their first for 72 years, in 2005, then again in 2012.

the Cats won their first for 44 Years in 2007, then others in 2009, & 2011.

Melbourne 2015, 2016, 2017?

Hoping.......

    As much as it burns that the Swans were able to get both Buddy and Tippett, I really enjoyed watching the cats get murdered last night. Cats fans have become complacent, they needed to given a dose of their own medicine.

    Dont you mean Adrian Anderson? Vlad was on holidays mate, he dodged the tanking questions like Mayweather for years, AA wanted to be a big shot and prove himself.

    Don't you mean the AFL commission?

    Carltank were the most Obvious perpetrators in the Kreuzer Cup, amongst most of the clubs in comp', to pull the handbrake. And Carltank are heavily represented on the Commission.

    Northern Queensland Cairns/Townsville I reckon will be their next target.

    After that they'll either look to Tassie or NZ for a 20th team. Tassie if they just want a smooth transition. New Zealand if they want to go international which I don't believe they're that keen on doing, but we'll see.

    Any new club has to be able to fund its running thru growth, So I reckon the International flavour will appeal.

    I think Tassie will have the 2 teams dropping in, Hawks & Roos.

    But the Kiwis will have to be able to supply enough young talent to grow the talent pool of Aussie rules competitors.

    I enjoyed seeing the Cats get a taste of their own. I especially enjoyed seeing Stevie J struggle and remembered how he lairised in the 186 game.

    But it's a long way from the end of the Cat empire. Missing their key defender who would've taken Buddy, plus a couple more, throw in consecutive six day breaks and a trip interstate and this game, as impressive as the Swans were, still must be counted as a possible aberration.

    Still, a forward line of Buddy, Tippet with Goodes drifting down is something to envy. If Hogan comes good we might even see something similar with Dawes, Watts/Howie.

    • 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?
