    I know that VFL is far less intense than AFL but what does it say when Oliver finishes a game off so strongly a week after given a rest from the AFL?

    Are our selection policies too conservative or did the win over Richmond mandate that there be no more that one change notwithstanding we were coming off a six day break?

    The Saints made three changes to their losing team. In hindsight, you can mount a good argument that their inclusions tipped the balance in their favour.

    It's interesting WJ, but I think overall, most would have this year's selection policy as a huge win for the club. It's hard to crack the side, and hard to keep your spot. Nothing wrong with that. Roos rewards unheralded players with a game, and then sticks with them for at least two to make sure they have a decent chance. Expects more from senior players than from younger ones. And he's unwilling to change a winning side... those are all, really, the policies we want to see week in week out. What was it he used when he won the flag? 28 players or something?

    Post Tigers, I assumed some good performers would be down against a fast Saints side, at the dome where they play a certain brand. I didn't think it would be Hunt or Wagner though. Personally I reckon he made the correct choices at the selection table going in, and you can't fault him for not having a crystal ball. His gameday execution? Yes. Fire away. But selection has been a strength.

    I partially saw the ANB kick which concussed Brayshaw in the VFL goals package on the MFC website.

    Does anyone know if it was a direct kick to the back of the head or was their a slight deflection from the smother, having it go into the head?

    How was his defensive intensity? He's always interested me in how he can get and use the ball, even though he lacks a yard of pace, but has mostly looked like a passenger without the ball. 

    He played all but 15 minutes on the half back flank. Thought he was probably Casey's best. Very attacking but also saved at least 2 goals on the last line. Must admit one of these probably should have been a free to the bomber player but it wasn't paid. 

    Straight kick into his bonce. Dropped like a stone. Lucky it wasn't CP5 kicking it because it would have taken his head off.

    Viv has been our most consistent performer at Casey so far this year and surely must be due a recall. Reward for effort. Problem is I'm not sure that Roos rates him.

    He's in.

    • 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?
