Trying to figure out who we want to win this game. I reckon Geelongs a certainty for the 8 so probably them as we'll be fighting St Kilda for spot.

Yes and no, I know everything's great in hindsight but both North and us nearly beat the Cats. I tipped North last night as well.

    Something the Saints are doing well is not hitting leads at 30-40m to have a shot and are going long to a contest and crumbing it with manic pressure. Something we have missed so much in the past two weeks obviously. One thing i've noticed the best teams do is restrict all but the most difficult angled 35-50m shots. Even though we should have buried Geelong with accurate kicking, they did not let us have very easy crumbed goals in the 3rd quarter.

    I think Hawthorn did it a lot in their GF vs Freo and the prelim v Port, just close access to the corridorr and square and let the opponents have set shots from further out and miss if you're going to concede.

    Has Selwood got his head bandaged up yet?

    Saints in the same position we were vs Geelong at the end of the third quarter.  Gonna be frustrating if they roll them when we couldnt get the job done.

    Has there ever been a team as soft and flat-tracked as the Eagles? They beat up on second tier teams at home with the aid of the umpires and get their pants pulled down when playing half decent opposition  interstate.

    Correct.  Seen this movie before.  

    Wish we had players who could lift and get us over the lines in close games, the help they get from umpires would also help

    Saints are gonna lose, excellent for us.  As much as I hate Geelong they are gonna finish top 4.. still have many games left at the Cattery.

    The question has to keep being asked: is St Kilda's game style sustainable for four quarters? They've got a young list, but if I was a St Kilda supporter, I'd be a little worried.

    They had Geelong dead to rights in the third and have just stopped. Unlike our game against Geelong when we played a player down all day. We've been far more impressive than St Kilda this year and I think it's safe to say we've passed them at this point.

    The other thing about St Kilda is a lot of their younger players aren't great decision makers. They're great if it's all run and gun, but as soon as they're faced with organised defence, they lack the Oliver, Petracca, Salem users.

    Saints have a massive gulf between their top six and their bottom six- too many passengers to beat a quality team over four quarters.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
