These two sides and Brisbane are so so aggressive. Hopefully our sanity and commitment to a defensive game is the difference this year, because it's certainly bucking the trend.

    Port clearly tanked last week to rest players for tonight.

    Port will get it done tonight

    Finals are a different game. Rarely are they open and attacking.

    God Zorko is a despicable [censored] of a human

    While it's common knowledge he's a card-carrying [censored]-wit, I found myself wondering (while watching the game) how on earth he managed to a) become captain and b) hold the position for so long. There's no way Brisbane could possibly win a premiership with that [censored] at the helm. His tool antics just undermines everything they're trying to be/achieve.

    That's the thing though. Geelong don't bottom out

    Quaynor is 100% the best small defender in the comp.

    Isn’t our preference Week 1 at MCG?

    What an electric first quarter. I think it's pretty clear many sides are fighting fire with fire this year, and it will be a bit of a crapshoot.

    I back the Dees gameplan to bring a bit of control to these other maniac sides going hell for leather.

    I think port are tiring and the pies will run away with this, and stake their claim for all doubters as being the clear hunted side this year.

    Mickey Mouse season. We need to win a real one to validate it in my mind.

    Could maybe make the case for the 2020 season with fixture disruption and shortened quarters, but not 2021. Reality doesn't owe you or anyone else a grand final win at the MCG.

    Really 4th or 2nd is our ideal finish I think.

    Unless Port finish first, which is unlikely. They have a harder draw than the Pies.

    • 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?
