    I’m not sure if you were counting on watching the game tomorrow on 7plus but I believe it isn’t showing on that service.

    Rugby League is on 92

    Always good for a brain dead, mind numbing, zero care, sports hit

    A simple game for simple blokes.

    Watching my first game of the year to see if Wayne Bennett can get the Rabbitohs into the granny.

    71 year old who's coached at the highest level for 30 odd years I think.

    Amazing achievement

    Got a bit jumpy after watching training this arvo so I settled myself by watching Jaka & Ox highlights. How good were those blokes. 

    I've also got the Robbie Tawny Port but I suspect the contents have aged worse than I have. If we get up tomorrow I might just leave it in its nice presentation case and build a shrine around it.

    My best grand final memories as a kid involve staying up to watch that marathon. Having guys like Jezza and KB coming into your subconscious if you were falling asleep. Great memories. 

    With the game on so late tomorrow night I plan on getting a real good night sleep because there's no way I'll get any tomorrow night regardless of what happens. And that plan is not going to work out anyway.

    Legendary thread.

    Footy in the late 80s hey… wow, some of you remember that better in your head movies - that’s rough viewing.

    That WCE Elimination Final in 88 is nuts.

    one of the best half back flankers we've had, certainly in my 36 or so years of being a demon

    his tag-team job on diesel williams with andrew obst in 94 was one of the all time great surprise coaching moves

    • 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?
