    Apparently a home prelim is on the cards for Port and Brisbane should they make it.

    Our carrot is 2 consecutive weeks on the GF venue. If we make it, we'd be better placed.

    Yet another goal to Geelong directly from a Selwood throw >> Hawkins who could barely pick it up unopposed > goal.

    Not to make your MFCSS flare up, but isn't there a part of you saying "We were 44 points down against THIS? We must be terrible!"

    that's what my mother said!

    I did. But the Cats were much better last week. Smaller ground, no travel, no 6 day break and it wasn’t a QF.

    Fantasia has the knees and arms of a little crippled boy. Amazing that he is an AFL player. Imagine if he had a somewhat normal footballer's body.

    I really feel Scott overestimated Geelong’s performance last Saturday night. You heard it through his post match comments, his coaches votes (he definitely gave 2 to Stanley after I heard him mention how good he thought he played against Gawn), and other commentary through the week. The fact is they played 10 good minutes for the game and Melbourne absolutely bashed them in the second half (in particular the last qtr).

    The big thing about it being better to finish 2nd or 3rd is that the 2-v-3 matchup is usually tougher than the 1-v-4. I'm expecting an almighty struggle agains the Lions tomorrow night. Winner of that is surely best placed to win the flag, given this match has had the intensity of a Gold Coast Suns match.

    Average game. Cats look spent, Port don't look great either. Hopefully cats go in straight sets. I reckon we can handle Port. Cover Aliir, Wines and a couple of others and they are rank

    3 consecutive throws in the centre then by Geelong all ignored.

    Your comment would make BT fire up (see what I did there, “fire” up 😆) Methinks BT has a huge crush on Oratzio. Borderline obsessed.

    That Jack Henry is one weird looking dude.

    I can't help wondering if some of his relatives were in the movie Deliverance.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
