    Frosty had an excellent bit of play on the HB Flank. Sold a bit of candy and drilled a pass to a teammate on the wing. Other than that haven't noticed him too much

    Our centre clearance team has at times has been Salem, VDB, Trenners and ruck Spence or King.  They won the clearances convincingly that qtr.  

    I thought Scorps would struggle this week with the loss of both ANB and Newton, but the ins of VDB and Salo seem to have more than made up for it so far. One of ANBs strengths this year has been his 4 qtr endurance. Guess we are yet to see if the replacements are up to his standard on that score.

    Grimes had also been in a lot of the clearance work, incl at throw ins. He continues to have really good form when on the ball. Doesn't excite with cleanness or polish, but there is not question he is often effective. His experience really seems to be showing through, and he looks to be really determined. He is definitely not cruising.

    Half time, and time for the catering report.

    Egg and bacon roll once again did not disappoint, despite the fact I was waiting all day for it. 

    Wrote up the 'match of the round' one year for a couple of leagues bjDee. It was only two games in that I started to review the egg and bacon rolls, almost to the expense of the matches themselves. You can tell a lot about a club by the standard of it's egg and bacon rolls. Glad to hear Casey's are up there.

    That was the pass to Dawes leading to a goal. He dropped a sitter switch pass across the backline. Then quickly recovered, ran around opponent, took off and put a good 10m clearance on his opponent in a hurry before a nice kick to Dawes' marking advantage.

    Joel Smith #79 did a couple of things that quarter that were very impressive.  He is very quick. One to keep an eye on.

    Agree. He has suddenly blossomed this game.

    Box Hill have had the hood over Casey for a number of years too. This would be a huge win if they can get up.

    I beg your pardon?

    Salem went down on far side of ground.  Might have been a leg injury?  Walked off unaided with trainers, not limping. Has been taken into rooms with Physio.

    Salem off accompanied by medicos and straight up the race bit sure what issue was

    Terlo set shot. Straight out. Kick from 50. Drifted right for a behind.

    End to end goal for BH.

    The backs in this game press right up to the half fwd line, hence Terlo'o opportunity to mark and score. But it hurts on the rebound.

    • 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?
