We were parked on the grassy surrounds. I wasn’t the driver but since I paid for parking it was me who interacted with the parking guy. I asked the driver which road we used to enter the hellhole and she sent me this…

Yes your on part of the Crown Land reserve managed by the Trust. Just next door to the swimming pool.

Lengthy question sent off to the Trust last night.

 Stay tuned.

    Death, taxes and playing like [censored] at the MCG.

    I really hope this is rectified this year considering 6 out of our 8 losses took place there last year.

    This MUST be rectified, there's never an excuse to lose 3 in a row on that ground for this side.

    I’d have this number 1 on the improvement agenda.

    If we’re not playing our best footy and not winning more than 60% of our games at the G, then we’re not making prelims and granny’s.

    Makes you wonder how Melbourne would finish up if we played ALL our h&a games interstate mostly in Perth Adelaide and the Gabba.

    Top 4 probably. MCG is a worry.

    except that's not true. most journos are lazy and just say "out of contract kickett"

    it's not that hard to get it correct

    "Out-of-contract livewire" is the latest iteration.

    Umpire Nichols watching Max get a forearm to the head every marking contest and saying “nothing to see”. 
    I looked at him in the centre when BBB got those inside 50  frees in the final quarter and he looked so peeved.   Never would have paid them himself.

    Is he the bald one? Still upset with Maxy for belting the ball away at the centre bounce all those years back??

    We have a winner.

     

    (OK, on a technicality it was the MRO not the tribunal, but full credit to Dr Gonzo for his perspicacity)

    • 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?
