I just assumed that the clock should run down if Henderson was having a shot for goal. Anyway good win by the hawks to come back the way they did. 

The pres is out of town and they drop 2 in a row. If Bucks was scathing this week imagine him tonight. They have to travel to perth next week to play west coast. Imagine them losing 3 in a row. 

Looking to tomorrow come one sydney we need you to beat the bummers.

    The pies injury has gotten as bad as ours was around round 3. And funny enough they are playing like [censored]. 

    Game plans and selection means bugger all when half your 22 is out

    The Footy Gods are showing us mercy with the injection of good form into teams around us in Carlton, Hawthorn, North, Sydney. We just need them to give St Kilda and GCS some wins and the low pick is ours. If we're going to lose most games, it's nice to see others around us winning at least.

    What we want is all of them to keep winning and for us to start winning

    But of course the AFL in their infinite wisdom have ensured that  he will be allowed back for the finals.

    I wonder if he had a few bucks on the Hawks last quarter comeback?  Could help him pay his fine.

    The Age's description of the Pies last night: 

    "Fumble after fumble was followed by turnover after turnover. Any type of structure was absent, with connectivity forward of centre often replaced by rushed dumped kicks forward".

    Sounds like the 2019 Demons!!?

    Doubt the Pies will make the top 4 ??

    It was a terrible game who’s only redeeming feature was the close finish (thanks very much to the carefully orchestrated umpiring). 

    I seriously hate our game at the moment.

    I didn’t watch last night Ethan but “carefully orchestrated umpiring” now seems a reality in our game.

    Time and time again we see a free kick imbalance evened up in the last quarter   

    Kinda goes against the notion of impartiality

    Tigers 6 inside 50s. 5 goals

    could get messy. There goes the number one pick

    These sorts of things can happen when  administrations allow themselves to become so interspersed with and then dependent upon the gambling industry.

    Then of course they have to appear to come down on gambling (though meekly enough to allow a banned player to become miraculously  available for final$.)

    Their rule changes to ensure lots of goals (code for advertising opportunities for their $ponsors) having been a dismal failure, close finishes are essential. 

    Like Ethan above, the game I used to love has gone - sold down the drain to the highest bidders.  ??????

    The AFL have systematically ruined the game i grew up with, whilst giving themselves grotesque wages. 

    I hate you...Your rule changes stink, beginning with interchange rotations, which is where the Cancer begins...

    and i hope there are journalists reading this site so that the message gets out there.

    Were people going for Sydney because they hate the bombers or because they want a gap between other teams so we get a better draft pick?

    It's unbelievable how the Druggies get an armchair ride every week!

    Out possessed by 40-odd, yet nearly double the frees to Essendon. No doubt due to their whining crowd.

      Their constant booing of Rampe was childish to say the least. What?... booing him for (stupidly)trying to climb the goal post  up in Sydney!!!??? They didn't deserve to win either of those games.

    The umps absolutely gifted them the Whorethorn game last week, too.

    I hope their chooks turn into Emus and kick their dunny door down.

    They actually wouldn’t give a stuff, provided the sponsors pay them big bucks so that they can get paid big bucks. 

    It is no longer a game for the people: it is a business money game for the likes of Gillon.

    • 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?
