    North gave it their all, but we still never really looked in doubt. Take the 4 and move on to the next.

    Go Narrm!

    We scored more than 90 and conceded less than 60

    Our percentage went up. 

    We played without our best team. 

    We are a game and percentage on top. 

    We are clearly the best team in the comp for a whole game.

    Got the points took to the final quarter but a good margin in the end.

    The injuries hurt.

    Move onto Freo next week & need to play better

    We should have spanked them.

    Thats a win for North.

    inaccurate as always, we are primed for a finals upset.

    Along with the Eagles, North concede the most amount of points and inside 50s against yet we looked to be going uphill for 75% of the game

    Credit to North they made it hard for us but our greater quality told in the end

    Beast mode from Clarry. May was good and I liked Spargo’s contributions

    Big game next weekend. We’ll have to play better but we know we lift for the bigger games

    10-0 and 17 on the spin

    Go Dees

    Almost the best game of Oliver's career. He destroyed it against Adelaide in R10 2021 but we lost, so it takes a tick of the shine off, but today he was brilliant in everything he did, and also played just a fantastic team game.

    The next 5 weeks/4 games are so big.

    Reckon the Roos have shown the rest of the comp how to play us (although dirtily).
     

    Inflicting injuries is our Achilles heel, who would’ve thought 😞

    Dunstan is a terrible player and shouldn't be in the team, ever again.

    Max was being interviewed by moons & just had steam coming off him. Funny stuff.

    Would have been nice for Foxtel to show us walking off the ground.

    Did BBB get carried off?

    Fair play to North, they did all they could. Were aggressive and pressured hard. Good for us to have these tests rather than a training run

    They dragged us down to their level for the first 3 quarters, but we were magnificent in the last!  Seventeen on the trot!!

    Ugly first half but the cream rose to the top from half way through the third.

    There's a few boys not at their sparkling best and a couple of the ins although very handy & grateful for their input, are still a fair way off the level of JV & Harmesy.

    Hope Plugga's foot is ok.  Easily our best forward tonight.

    Clarry crazy good....again!

    • 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?
