    Surprised there's such scant interest in this game.

    For starters, the team has been going along fantastically over the past month easily beating all and sundry, gets up to a 33 point lead and then falls apart to score just one goal in the second half (from eight shots at goal) when the game was there to be won.

    A couple of hours later, Melbourne falls apart in similar fashion and kicks just one goal in the last quarter (from seven shots at goal) when the game was there to be won.

    Probably coincidence but a little uncanny.

    I'm very interested in the game.   Have been hoping for a match report from a Demonlander.

    Love that M Jones is winning the surprise improver award, also that Trenners is fighting back as he might be too quickly dismissed.   I had both on the way out, too soon perhaps

    Some of these players deserve a chance this week, OR we are building their stats to use as trade bait.

    Interesting. Reading Justin Plapp's player reports from this game, I note he mentioned in passing that two players were ill in the week before the game. Most of the team played out the second half of the game without energy. Similarly, the Demons performed at levels well below previous weeks. 

    Nobody likes using excuses but I wonder if there might have been some sort of bug involved in the explanation for Melbourne's performance against the Blues?

    • 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?
