Things that come to mind.

Hunts explosivenesses.

Kosi not flying for the mark and remaking front and centre.

BBB could of marked it.

Presence of mind from Melksham to hold it in until he saw Demon colours.

The one hand pick up from Kosi.

Sorry Mr. Bombay, but it's could HAVE not could OF.

You'll have to forgive me picking you up on this oft-repeated grammatical howler.

I suffer from CDO, you see.  It's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.  :D

I’ve had a about 3 gaffs tonight, the first two were words missed altogether….

I would be more upset losing Kozzy over Jackson. 

Counting down the moments until some lazy journo reads this, turns it into a ‘Kozzy contract drama’ headline, and Demonland explodes in fury.

We are like an animal that eats itself. I believe the Egyptians referred to it as an ‘ouroboros’ (but the good news is there’s a painful pedant here who’ll point out if that’s correct or not).

How shattered are these sad sacks that the Dees won?

 

Confirmed.  Montagna had always bagged the Dees.  Has a giant chip on his shoulder against the Dees.  He’s shattered. FFS.

I agree. Talk about Lever’s kick. 
 

It was Hunt that created the chance.  His run and explode to burst and kick long to the top of the square !!!! Hallelujah.  That’s the key.  It created the chance.  It created the pressure.  
 

of course Kozzzzzy 😘😘😘😘😘

Absolute tosh. Montagna was the first media person last year who I heard espouse Melbourne's shot at the flag as being anything other than a pipedream.

a question:

the goal that was disallowed and ball returned to half fwd / wing for throw-in

was it because:

1. ben brown marked over the line?

2. ben brown played on from outside the line when he wasn't behind the mark?

The latter I believe, dc.

The view of someone claiming to be an accredited AFL umpire is that Brown ran forward of the mark while out of bounds. Hence, a correct call.

You leave me alone, hardtack.  I have a stereotype to uphold, you know.  :D

 A reputation as a pedandocrat perhaps D?

My ex told me we'd have less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic.

I told her "I think you mean fewer arguments".

  • 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?
