Cats might pinch this! They have an amazing ability to tear home in the last 10 minutes of games!

    So hawkins misses from 20 metres out. It just frustrates the hell out of me that he always performs against us. 

    It wouldn't surprise me if this is a draw. 

    But the hawks haven't kicked a goal this quarter. Clarko would be going nuts.

    Any specific reason why Whorethorn scoring dried up in the last Q, or was it just a momentum swing after the cats got a sniff?

    In the dying moments I was praying “NO DRAW”!!!  When the Hawks stuck the last one, that settled the nerves.

    Their 2nd close loss in 2 weeks.

    Should have been their 3rd in a row but we choked. They'd be dead and buried otherwise.

    Wtf was that free to danger for??!?

    In the back. But it should have been holding the ball against him before the hawk landed on him.  Furthermore it was very soft - plenty of more obvious similar in-the-backs not paid.

    Can we lose all three - and make it?

    Geelong has played 6 games this year decided by 2 goals or less. They've lost 4 of them and won 2. Any guess who the 2 they've won were played against?

    If we lose all 3 we dont deserve to make it.

    from around half way through the last quarter Hawks looked like they were playing to save the game

    Would need Geelong, North and Essendon to lose their last 2. 

    So no.

    • 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?
