Cross has been super impressive in the air all year.

Great guy for Toumpas to learn from.

 

Yeah, you need to throw yourself like a [censored] to get that free, Frawley didn't.

Would love more of Jamar's taps to go to Melbourne players.

Tyson. No right foot or right hand...
 

Still stunned by how much Dunn has improved. Good on him.

I'm busy today so I can't watch the game and have been checking in on the afl.com.au match centre commentary. I'm extremely confused by this update:

  • Q1 17:40

    A swing and a miss for Dawes as Lobbe annoys him to the point of frustration. If there was any connection there Dawes would be on a long enforced holiday.

Do we have another Dawes? Or does Port have a player also named Dawes punching on with his own teammate? Or is it breaking out in the stands? WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?
 

Umpiring is absolutely PATHETIC. JKH being manhandled and held all over the place, not getting any free kicks despite being impossible for him to mark anything.

[censored] joke umps.

It was Jamar


That "punch" was from Jamar.

The heat from the sun and the Power's run could make for a very, very ugly last quarter.

Matt Jones 13 disposals at 92% efficianecy

Lynden Dunn brilliant

We did well to stop the avalanche and we have the breeze this quarter

Nev is belting wingard

Agreed.

That 25 metre pass that the umpire called "play-on" for not being long enough (before the ball was even marked) and the inconsistency of the hands in the back have been a disgrace.


And are Port the league leaders in staging? Monfries is the Laurence Olivier of theatrics, and that Viney "swing" barely touched the Port player, yet he grabbed his chest as if he'd been punched square in the gut.

Flogs.

Cross and Dunn were good down back.

Kennedy Harris is one of those rare players - where he just looks dangerous everytime it comes near him.

I watch Kennedy Harris and expect him to win every contest, it is the sign of a great player.

Salem a good start with 5 kicks for the quarter.

Good to see Jamar throwing his weight around.

Grimes needs to chase with more intensity, he jogged after a kick in and lost it, he jogged after his player then realised he was going to go for goal so started to chase all too late, very little tackling and damn too slow to move the ball. wasted opportunities. Having said that some positives gawns goal, pederson has been good. Hopefully they will settle down now and play better football than the first half of that quarter.


Dunn is saving our backside, Watts looks good on the open ground and I wouldn't be banging on about Jetta on Wingard yet. Chad can get goals very quickly.

I'm so sick of umpires missing clear free kicks in general pay then paying RIDICULOUS holding the ball's at random intervals (ALWAYS against us too).

Port deserve to be winning but I think 20 point lead flatters them. We have played pretty well after the early avalanche.

JKH is all class.

124 touches for the Dees that quarter. Not to shabby but more need to be on target.

 

C'mon boys, keep the contested work up

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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?
