    Im shocked that some people have Max over Trac. We don't even get a chance at the come back without Trac. For most of the game, that was one of the best solo performances I have seen in a long time. Max was absolutely fantastic, of course.

    I went Max because he was great for 4 quarters. Trac was missing for 10 minutes in the second when they were charging. Although he did come straight back into it and kicked one to show how dangerous he was. I think you can go either way for me it’s more consistent effort vs outright brilliance

    You're welcome to be shocked but 21 contested possessions and 10 clearances for a ruckman isn't good. It's out of this world good.

    Thought Hunter might have picked up a few 1's & 2's.  Felt he was solid all night (26 possessions)

    DE rating wasn't kind to him but I didn't think he was wasteful

    Had the most metres gained by any player on the night (559) 2nd best none other than Joe Daniher with 490

    Top 3 standout and then any number of players could have filled the next 3

    6 - Gawn (a colossus all night)

    5 - Petracca (brilliant)

    4 - Viney (a beast)

    3 - Melksham (dangerous & productive)

    2 - Brayshaw (solid)

    1 - Hunter (solid)

    Unlucky - Pickett, McVee, Bowey, Rivers

    One of the easier BOG's of all time I would've thought.

    6 Gawn

    5 Petracca - he was excellent and the the third best man on the ground behind Max and Daniher who was very nearly a matchwinner for the Lions.

    4. Melksham - such a clever player, sometimes too cute but did a good job on Andrews and then proved to be the matchwinner.

    3. Viney - an amazing defensive and offensive game, again!

    2.Brayshaw - Gus doing the team things again

    1. Pickett - Koz was back to somewhere near his best.

    I really liked Rivers, Bowey and McVee.  I thought they displayed great poise and footy IQ.  All three of them could easily feature.

    By the numbers;

    6 Max Gawn

    5 Christian Petracca

    4 Jack Viney

    3 Angus Brayshaw

    2 Jake Melksham

    1 Kysaiah Pickett

    Honourable mentions;

    Lachlan Hunter

    James Jordan

    Steven May

    Alex Neal-Bullen

    Trent Rivers

    Tom Sparrow

    Special mention;

    Judd McVee

    Adjudication;

    Bounce downs at the centre square were by and large acceptable. Balls up were a bit of a  balls up, straight up and vertical gentlemen. Timid parabolic attempts are unacceptable. Last one of the match suggests senior umpire Nichols still has it in for Max.

    Opposition hyperbole watch;

    Eric 'the Hipster' Wood gets this week's reality check award for disputing the final contest of the match. The ball landed on Jake Lever's chest. Collect your free eye check from specsavers. A monocle is prescribed.

    Broadcasters;

    BT managed to read the tea leaves correctly during the last quarter. Predicted a Demon victory with two minutes to go. Nathan Jones' special comments were intelligent and insightful.

    From the director's chair;

    A come from the clouds win that will inspire belief.

    • 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?
