Who has been the best for Melbourne?

This is a Casey game dazzledavey but I'm assuming you mean who the best Demons are at the moment. The two big boys alternating between ruck and the forward line Max and Jack have been outstanding and have given Warnock a real working over. Matt Jones and Viv Michie are getting a lot of the ball. The rest are all contributing and Dom Barry is better this week.

Angus Scott has just goaled for Casey to give them an eight goal lead.

    The scorpions must be due to stop running pretty soon!

    There's been very little scoring in the first half of the quarter but the Blues have now kicked back to back goals to bring the Scorpions' lead back to 34 points but it's all too late for them.

    Nice to see both Gawn and Fitzy kick three majors!

    KC, How is Alex Giorgiou tracking? Does he look comfortable at the level? I've got a feeling he could be required to play a bit more senior footy next year.

    And just looking at the stats, what happened to Salem after half time? One possession after the break.

    Corky by the looks

    Harmes coming along nicely ... 22 possessions, 8 tackles ... though going by the stats, everyone seems to have put in today.

    Good signs from Gawn to back it up again.

    I know Terlich is somewhat like-for-like with Grimes, but really not sure that was the right call over Jones, Michie (or even Strauss).

    Bumped into a bloke at qtr time who I hadn't seen for a couple of decades. He talked a lot when I knew him a long time ago, and that hasn't changed. We watched the rest of the game together but I couldn't give any updates or keep a close eye on the players because that would have been impolite. Don't some people realise there are more important things in life than friendships???

    Anyway, I thought there was a more even contribution from the team today and found it harder to find standout players.

    Big Max had another very good game playing mostly in the ruck. He was up against Warnock and had the better of him most of the time. Took some more good marks and kicked 3 goals.

    I was pleased to see an improvement in Viv Michie's form. He got a lot more of the ball than I had seen in the past few games at Casey, playing inside mid. Some good passages where he drove the ball forward out of the middle on a few occasions, one of which led to a goal as I recall.

    Harmes continues to impress me with his energy and attacks on the ball, and mostly clean ball handling.

    Nicho was again in a fair bit of the play but didn't dominate as much as a couple of weeks ago. Didn't see him really butcher a ball at all, but there was plenty of play that I couldn't see well across on the far wing.

    Strauss had a just ok game. Had a couple of good passes but didn't cut up through the middle as much this week.

    • 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?
