    Yes. Another one that could have really made a difference against the Swans. Was missed.

    Let's hope we can get Viney (at least) back in for the finals.

    We just refused to lie down against a team that play a style we really struggle with. Hannan and Melk in particular were vital ins. 

    Hibberd early was incredible too - seems he carried a sore hamstring through the second half. Let’s hope he’s OK.

    While Jones had an ordinary first half, he was in the contests when it counted and found the right spots

    Had some crucial touches last Qtr and found some targets 

    Deserves a lot of credit !

    Solid win. We just stuck to our structures, worked as a team, maintained our composure and played our roles to get the four points. One week at at time.

    I felt a bit gooey in my stomach when we got up 17.

    I'm reserving tears for if we win a flag.

    Does anyone have any predictions as to who we might face in the finals if we win/loose?

    Melksham was amazing, kent had good forward half pressure, Weids was great in the contests, Hibberd was at his best, Hannan always looked dangerous.

    great inclusions. thankyou goodwin, thankyou Melbourne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know his first half performance was very average at best, but Dean Kent had a terrific second half.  Kicked a crucial goal, laid 6 tackles and just got himself involved.  Another one who could be crucial to how long we stay in the season and, like Hannan who was awesome, justified his selection in the side.

    We've either beaten or come close to beating the majority of teams in the top 8.  Should provide a lot of confidence in the finals.  What a difference a win makes.

    First ever post. Born 64 and grew up going to the G with the old man and brothers leaving at three quarter time during the stock standard flogging when he would say,  "may as well get out of the carpark while we can boys!".   This makes me happy!

    • 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?
