    Yes and at least a minor scuffle a week and couple of bigger fights per month on average.Ā

    Being a product of the state school system I find this sort of comment on here to be very elitist....

    Please don't talk about Collingwood supporters and your private school background in the same paragraph. Now wonder people label Demon supporters as silver-tailed wankers. You don't do us any favours.

    I can see why you interpreted that but I didn't go to a private school mate, and I've sent my 3 kids to a mixture of private and public.

    It was a cheap and admittedly unedifying comment about the typical Pies fans, not about the school system.

    Nor did I mean to imply Dees fans have private school backgrounds. Ā Plenty of us don't, probably the greatĀ majority.Ā But we can at least have a civil conversation about it.Ā

    Just watched the Jayden Hunt interview again when receiving his "Best Young Player" award, he mentioned that Jack Grimes and several coaches got into his ear half way through 2015 and advised him that he better show them (FD) what he can produce if he wanted to stay on the List, a real wake up call also thanked BM for taking him under his wing and turning him into a student of the game. So thanks Jack, Coaches, BM and particularly Jayden for listening and taking it on board because we now have another young star on our list. He is a very confidant and capable young man. Go DEE's!!!

    PS( I am another public school supporterĀ who spent a lot of my working lifeĀ taking every opportunityĀ that I could to further educate myself)

    I was probably a bit over sensitive but I do occasionally see some very snobbish attitudes on DLĀ and it gets me going. It points to the class and wealth divides in this country and I come over all sanctimonious.

    It just struck me as odd that there is not a Norm Smith trophy for something! What more could an individual do for one club?Ā

    Similarly, Ron Barassi junior. I appreciate that RDB is still with us, but that shouldn't prevent us being creative enough to identify an appropriate award in his honour. If there is already something awarded in his name, then I'd like to know what it is.

    PS: Ditto Robert Flower

    I found these results from 2011 which, among other things, really brings home to me that our list at the time was quite ordinary, and how things have progressed since then. I hope that a further look back in five year's time doesn't reflect the same disappointment that I have in how things pan out:-

    If Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Tyson, Salem, Weideman, Hogan, McDonald (s), Viney, and Gawn are not (in the main) staples in our top 10 in 5 years time then the disappointment will match or exceed previous ones.

    I don't expect it to be the case.

    • 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 CampbellĀ with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprenticeĀ Will VerrallĀ 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.
