Neve understood people that rate Panozza.

Made a weak attempt to chase and tackle Joffy Simpkin about 5m out from the goalface, letting him kick an easy dribble goal.

Mind you, wasn't helped by a weak effort from number 43 who should have cut across and guarded the goalface too, but was way too slow.

Poor defensive structure in that play.

Then Panozza just coughs it up on the wing under precious little pressure.

Not that the MFC listed players have been amazing.

    And poor bloody Strauss has trudged off to the rooms injured.

    Looks like he knows it was his last chance.

    I really wanted him to make it.

    Sublime kick when his confidence is up.

    Nice run from Sam Blease getting the ball in deep and creating the goal opportunity.

    More of that from Sam, please.

    Good kick when he actually has the ball in his hands, which isn't nearly often enough.

    Nicholson turnover coming out after a behind, 50m out just about straight infront.

    To the sneaky agile McEvoy who must've burst out of nowhere to intercept.

    He has a lot of work to do, Nicholson.

    good defensive pack mark by max Gawn, that's what I wanna see from him, strong marking and around the ground work

    You have to wonder if Roosy has told the MFC players to concentrate on their deficiencies and he's not too worried about the result of the match.

    I've seen him kick amazingly at times over the years.

    His action is flawless. I rate him one of the best I've seen at the club.

    Better than acclaimed kicks Toumpas and Tapscott.

    But you're right, he has to get his bloody hands on it first, and it's all in the head for Strauss, save for when his body lets him down.

    You'd hope so.

    • 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?
