Right now, Joel Smith's performance against Cameron is stacking up pretty well.

    this is turning into an entertaining shootout, way better than last nights bore fest

    To be fair watching grass grow was also more entertaining than last night’s disgraceful display of football.

    This game is a lot like the Dees/Lions game from last week so far, except the Lions are scoring more in a high-scoring game where Melbourne was able to keep ahead of the highest scoring team last week.

    The Dogs are the laziest side on turnovers. Just do not defend or spread at all. Their game plan falls apart if they aren’t winning clearances comprehensively.

    Any direction.

    Running one way then back the other doesn’t cancel itself out.

    Yes. Sadly changing direction often leads to umpires paying the free even if the total distance travelled isn’t too much.

    You clearly see the umpire head down looking at the line not the play. Waste of time for review.

    Entertaining game but skills are not the best. Port will be having a good laugh now.

    Cameron is a first quarter specialist. 

    Small sample size. Getting on top of the Melbourne defence is basically impossible. Let's see what he can do for this quarter and the rest of the game.

    I'm torn. As much as I'd like to see Brisbane win I've already exceeded my limit of hearing John Denver for this century.

    Just noted Hawkins and Selwood had 'incidents' looked at by our very special Mike Christian and as usual, they l walked away Scott free....

    Umpire 22 doing finals is not ok. I assume coz he’s in Brisbane he will go to Adelaide next week? No time to quarantine in WA?

    • 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?
