There's actually people there. GWS should just move lock, stock & barrel to Canberra. I doubt anyone in Sydney would notice the removal truck leave. 

100% agree and move North to Tasmania while we are at it.

    You know Canberra is boring when GWS is pulling fans to games.

    Preuss is a big man and is playing like it. He'll get a few more games yet if he keeps on presenting like this.

    Giants ball movement is haphazard. Saints look 100 times cleaner and more efficient. Their defence is giving the giants no time and space. Reminds me of another team in this league.

    Don't mind Big Preuss and would like to see him do well.

    I’m amazed no one in the media has ever pointed out that an umpire is far more likely to pay holding the ball if the ball becomes dislodged from the tackled players’ hands.

    It makes no sense but a common trend amongst all umpires.

    Please tell me again about the Tom Green marquee.

    very interested to see how we go against the aints in a few weeks

    they seem to be able to get a man - usually 'missy' higgins - out the back on a regular basis, and max king's height + mobility might actually be a tough match-up for may; i wonder whether petty might be a better match-up

    Great to see a few Melbourne Premiers beanies in the crowd.

    You know how there are certain opposition players you can't help but love watching? Tom Green is great to watch. Pure old school midfielder with vision, grunt and class.

    May has handled King in the past     Too strong

    yeah, but he's clearly much, much stronger in the contest now, and seems to be reading the ball in the air a lot better this season

    What a rubbish free kick to Flynn! And the Saints players are not allowed to say anything.

    Agreed he has improved.  We'll have to wait until we play them to see how it pans out!

    This is a very lacklustre game Very. Reminds me of a suburban game

    i reckon our defensive structure will be able to stop them and - at least judging by the two games i've watched them play this year - they're free-scoring and lack the defensive accountability that is our trademark

    they can definitely score quickly tho

    • 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?
