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.

Spoke to him yesterday it's actually 3-4 weeks more his out for

    Good to see Jake Lovett get 27 possies in the wet today.  The conditions would have suited his style of play, but hopefully with some form he can sneak his way back into the senior team.

    Clearance from Newton to a King mark to a goal.

    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.

    Let him rest a week or two or three if needed.  Just get him right.

    Briggs soccers a goal through in the goal square (think it was a long Newton kick). So 3.1. to 0.0. Trenners kicked the point.

    Newton comes off for interchange and already has quite a few mud trophies on his body.

    Terlich is being tagged. I repeat, Terlich is being tagged (by Mark Wiley).

    The Weed opens his account. Looks superior in the air. Bit of a wobbly kick but nothing wrong with his style at all. Looks nice and smooth for a big guy.

    Very small crowd today. = no queue at the bar. :):):)

    Newton Trenners and ANB all roving Spencer. That's actually a good looking unit.

    Geez, not trying to say 'i picked this' but Newton is really on fire. In absolutely everything early in the game, like ANB was the last few weeks.

    Has become much more congested and a lot of players around the ball. O-Mac doing a couple of nice things in terms of pressure. Trenners seems to be around the pack at all times. 

    Newton doing well, some good 1%'s from Grimes.

    Jackson Briggs with a free kick from 20m out. From memory didnt he kick a few last week as the 23rd man? Kicks his 2nd goal. 

  • Quote

    Terlo racing through the centre with 2 kicks in an excellent give and go effort. Leads to a goal. Well done Dean.

    bjDee looks like Frost is playing forward. Are you able to confirm please?

    First blood to Max King - goal.

    Pretty fair effort from a guy my iPhone app (Footy Live) tells me is out for the season with a knee injury. And it must be true, because the same app says Mitch King is out for the season with a knee injury, too.

    Grimes also spending time in the middle and getting a few good quick possessions.

    when I say middle it's mostly throw in contests. 

    Also just had Newton go in and under and handball out to ANB  for a clearance. Those guys look like they work really well together.

    Very one sided at qtr time though the scores under play that a bit.

    Frost was full time in defence that qtr. Actually showed some good strength and pace earlier, but was crucified by the commentators for a soccer and follow up that ended in a free the other way.

    The defenders are not seeing much of the ball to be fair. It's not coming their way a whole lot.

    Thanks BJDee. Glad to see. Would love to see him back there in the AFL. Cannot imagine it is a good day for talls or defenders.

    Let's hope he stays there and gets a consistent block where he can play his preferred position!

    • 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?
