I’m lazy. Someone explain to me who we want to win this?

We want Port to lose. I keep naturally reverting to hating Geelong though, then have to remind my poor tired brain.  It’s exhausting.

    @WalkingCivilWar I see the Power have a Port Trans flag in their cheer squad. Do we have anything similarly Pride focused in the DA?

    We do but only for AFLW matches.

    So many dropped marks by Port. 

    Maybe they will use the Magpie excuse - unwell?

    Does JHF have short legs or is my telly on the way out?

    Your TV’s fine. He does have short legs relative to his torso. Nick Daicos is the same as is Mason Cox among many others. Makes for a lower centre of gravity and means they’re harder to bring down in a tackle and they stay on their feet more often.

    Think Port will have more upside in the 2nd half.

    Anyone else see the Cats fan waving his guernsey with number 119 on the back during never tear us apart. Pure gold!

    That is interesting. After Geelong won by a record 119 points in the GF against Port the first game of the following year was a GF rematch over in Adelaide.  I recall a Geelong spectator walking into the ground wearing a Geelong guernsey with 119 on his back.

    I always wondered if he lived to see another day.

    If a player intentionally drops to ground in an attempt to force the push in the back they should be pinged for holding the ball. 

    Likewise, a player who intentionally pushes the ball into a grounded player to hold it in should be pinged with HTB.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
