Really impressed with Gawn - looks a monster and dominating. Effective with his possessions as well.

Nicho is hopeless. Don't mind Bleases game.

    Blease showed some calmness not to panic and slam it on his boot just at the end there.

    Casey are lucky to only be 10 pts down at the change I think.

    But as RobbieF said, I hope Roos has told the dees listed players to concentrate on deficiencies rather than the result.

    Not just because that looks how they are playing, but because I think that's in their best interests for development.

    I reckon Welsh was spot on with the quarter time address, both our seniors and casey need to tidy up skills and decision making, silly errors constantly costing both sides.

    Blease impressing. Must be close to AFL selection if he can measure up defensively given offensive threat his turbo speed offers.

    Nicholson with an awful clanger.

    Is Evans playing. Can't see him

    Just gave away a free falling into Hartung's back in a tackle.

    Also did really well then when Barry kicked it falling short to Evans in between 3 hawks.

    Managed to gather and move the ball on by foot in a 3 on 1 situation.

    Really good composure by blease a couple of times, he looks to have a much calmer head on his shoulders these days

    Barry got burnt for that free kick.

    The hawks player just dropped it, but Barry should have been smart enough to not swing him around by the jumper.

    Dom Barry - DUMB

    Hard when the player has possession and just flicks it behind his back.

    He didnt even drop it - he threw it away when tackled.

    But yeah, he should have been smarter.

    Wow. Nicholson and Blease were both good then, getting the ball out of D50.

    The difference was Blease showed a lot more class and composure, and had to because of the quality of Nicholson's original handball.

    I'm impressed.

    Our skills are killing us

    Honestly, if Nicholson handballs to a teammates' feet one more time, I'll pull my hair out.

    Hit a bloody target!

    Wow again.

    Some great run and link play by Blease up the middle, giving it off then running to get it again, gaining 70m and hitting the target Tim Smith at CHF.

    I honestly think he's going to make it, based on what I'm seeing today.

    Wow.

    • 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?
