I feel like it might be the most even flag race we've had in years. Sydney, Port Adelaide, Fremantle and Hawthorn (at full strength, anyway) are up there, and though Geelong's form is currently pretty poor, they're 8-3 and they've been written off before. Throw in Collingwood, who are also 7-3, plus the giant killer in North Melbourne (beaten Sydney in Sydney, Fremantle in Perth and Port Adelaide) and there's a legitimate 7-horse race for the flag.

Which of those clubs miss the top 4? Right now you'd say Geelong's not good enough, but if they finish 5th or 6th, who knows what they could do. Ditto North, who play their best against the best.

    I don't share your enthusiasm for Norf anus but I reckon 3 or your 4 are where the flag will end up. Swans, Port or Hawks.

    Port would make for a great story if they could take the flag. Would give our team some hope too!

    if he had been in a decent side where he did not have to star every week.

    I wonder how many of our past players would have been different players if we had a different coach at the time old dee.

    I guess we will never know but it's nice to c what has happened to Pedo, Jetta, Watts etc.

    That's clever OD! I just cannot conjure up an image of an "up market Collingwood". Too many single malts.

    It wasn't up market at all in the 70's & 80's i can assure you.

    Downright scary comes to mind.

    I can never quite understand why so many on here have such a dislike for the Roos.

    I simply do not share the feeling.

    Only room for one Melbourne OD.

    That's part of our problem.

    They will not last in Victoria....Give them 5 years.

    The same could have been said for us a few months ago wyl and it would not have taken 5 years.

    The Roos are still a couple of years ahead of us!

    Me neither. Yes, they are another club, but that is about it.

    They will be down in Tassie OD.

    Since CS was shown the door the MFC are in a lot better situation.

    Much to do but it is rolling.

    Nought Melbourne are treading water and getting tired...The AFL are concerned.

    Yup

    and thats the exact reason Damian Barrett the Kangaroo supporter constantly bashes us

    Tries to put out as much negative press on the MFC as possible cos he knows North are first in line to relocate but he wants us to look like the biggest basket case

    Hes fighting a losing battle the silly [censored]

    Gee the kangaroos are average, seriously lack leadership and some seriously overrated players.

    • 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?
