    I was at the game and maybe you see different things on TV, but I thought Grundy put in a solid effort and that Bowey and Spargo were very average. Hunter was really good, Lever and Brown good, and Oliver just never gives up.

    6 Hunter

    5 Lever

    4 Oliver

    3 Brown

    2 Rivers

    1 Grundy

    Our bottom six were very poor.

    6 Lever - steady and reliable all night 

    5 Hunter - very damaging with the footy, smart and creative 

    4 Ben Brown - played CHF and key forward  and kicked good goals

    3 Grundy - battled hard against two opponents and reminded off his ruck craft  

    2 Oliver - battled and battled as a warrior all night but fumbles and turnovers were costly (and some defensive switch offs were costly) 

    1 Bowey- got less of the footy than others but disposal efficiency were effective and created 3 goals and intercepted well

    People will say "poor disposal, despite getting a lot of it".

    But Oliver went at 62% DE. Last week everyone gushed over Petracca's game and he went at 50%.

    With respect Nicko the votes are not a    1,2, and 3 "best in Show"  (or On Ground) tacklefest. 

    Yes some players did not look like they were up for a tackle inc. Fritta. Tackled poorly. Still earns his 3 goals to prove his class.

    The DE stat is often overrated and sometimes underrated.  And often a poor guide.  To be honest, it's a confusing stat especially when looking at the output of Petracca last week.  He was dominant yet his DE percentage indicated otherwise

    The eye test is more pertinent and even that's subjective

    Brayshaw went at 63% last night and had 27 possessions.  Sure, he was a bit wasteful as Oliver was but many of our players just didn't get enough of the ball and were largely invisible.  That's a much bigger concern

    We had at least 12 players who underperformed in terms of actual possessions.  Didn't get near it

    At times Fritta may look lackadaisical but at one point last night he never gave up  defending and laid 3 tackles from memory  within seconds in one passage of play-he never gave up putting on the pressure. Credit where credit is due. Does anyone know exactly when this happened-will try to re watch it on  replay. 3rd or 4th quarter.

    • 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?
