That effort by Brayshaw against Murphy was embarrassing.

20sec left in a practice match who cares.

    Dees win by a goal.

    Interesting game.

    Technically 2 goals.  I don't count super goals.

    Having Jordan Lewis out there in the dying stages will do wonders when the real stuff begins. He was everywhere late.

    Wonky last 10 minutes but great win overall. Hope those injuries aren’t too bad.

    Great win today. Still work to do, but they kept it together. Like the jumper, like the gameplan. Happy.

    Smarts and experience got the better of him. Murphy's been schooled like that many a time over the years. Hardly embarrassing.

    Lovely passage of play!

    Great quarter from the boys, absolutely loving the intent, tackling and pressure.  Only negative you could say is that we could be a few more goals ahead.

    Your confidence has been rewarded Wiseblood. A good pick.

    That should improve membership numbers.

    A good win much better than I thought.

    I know I was a little harsh of your prediction earlier OD - I just like to keep the optimism up to kick off the year.  If I go in looking at a game and thinking we can't win then I'm in for a long year!

    well at least the boys will be in a good mood at the family day tomorrow. Can't get there.

    Nice to hear the song at the end.

    Joel smith- looks the goods. Well done those that gave him a wrap, think we've got a strong contested player there!

    spencer - with the 3rd man up rule - could be vital to our campaign ... who would've thought.

    hogan and hunt - solid matches...

    trac and Bradshaw building.

    Missed the game today, just wanted to know who impressed and any injuries?

    Lewis top ballwinner.

    Smith was huge in the first half, didn't notice him as much in the latter.

    Salem is all class, but we knew that. 

    Jones and Viney the usual. 

    Oliver was good and did freakish things.

    Garlett had a heap of assists. Very unselfish game.

    HOGAN! Four goals five marks.

    Vince was our second biggest ballwinner, but I hardly noticed him. 

    Tracca was solid but needs more ball. 

    Wagner injured. Looked like a knee from here. He overextended trying to impact a marking contest and landed really badly.

    We have had  quite a few long years in the last decade so I look forward to along year of wins in 2017.

    So, for what it's worth, my take:

    1.  No stars;

    2.  Spencer and Smith provided all the right signs;

    3.  Somewhat contradictory to the above, we were more dominant with big Max in the ruck;

    4. That was the reigning premiers we just played, so that's got to be worth something.

    All the right signs at this time of year, which is certainly better than the wrong ones.

    On an aside.... I am amazed that betting is allowed on what is a practice game with no obligation on the coach to try and win.

    • 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?
