So true, the bubble can burst so easily for players. And like many things, everyone has their use-by-date. You can't help but think that these 3 may all be gone season end. i hope for Trenners but time is running out for him as well.

They may be, but i wouldn't be at all suprised to see two of those three still running around with us next year.

    Am hoping to get along on Sunday, however given it's a day game and mother's day, i think i'm going to be pushing it up hill with the other half.

    I've heard that Matty Jones actually dislocated a rib. Never heard of that happening before and it sounds bloody painful. He's likely to miss 1-2 more.

    I've done that from coughing. Bloody hurts. You can't breathe deeply because the lung expansion makes it feel like your being stabbed in the chest. Had trouble sleeping too.

    St Kilda defence played rings around ours. They were chopping and changing so much that Jetta, Dunne and McD had no idea and completely lost contact - result one of the smallest players on the field left to defend against one of the tallest. Really frustrating to watch but so obvious that I wondered why wasnt the runner out. St Kilda must have been licking their lips - easy pickings.

    Saints killed us on the outside much like they did against the Pies. Once you've used your pace to break through the zone defenders have no chance and will often be caught out with a mismatch.

    Sounds like yet another case of "fail to plan, plan to fail" ☹️

    If the Dees and Scorps get rolled can we develop a new thread "x" versus "y"

    Hulett not named anywhere as far as I can see. Mystery illness of the week, our 5th concussion, or just player management.

    That's your answer.  Weideman was rested last week, Hulett's turn this week.

    I don't mind that, as it shows we are learning that young players need to be developed properly, not damaged. The fact that it comes on the back of a good game, shows we are prepared to follow the process and not chop and change on whim.

    In the long run, this will prove to be a benefit to the players and the club.

    I assume Brayshaw is being rested again. I hope it is not a longer term concussion, he really seemed out of sorts in his last comeback game. He would be a huge loss if there were long term implications for us here.

    He's got concussion. Therefore, he doesn't play.

    A few weeks ago, the Northern Blues comprehensively beat Casey Scorpions Development League team. Today, they're scoreless at quarter time. Scorps 5.3.33.

    Yarran Jaffer-Williams is doing well and kicked the first goal.

    Interesting to see what ANB and Trenners do this week considering that the Blues don't have an established midfield group. I know our boys are young, but the 2 of them just seem so much older than they are. Without the others (Michie etc) around the pack, will be nice to see Trenners, ANB and Grimes really play huge games. 

    Newton is a nice addition to those guys. He has been working his way back into game time and form over last 3 weeks. Reckon his numbers will jump soon.

    • 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?
