Can anyone tell me why he wears a black sleeve on his left arm? Have I missed something?

On AFL360 he said it was to give a little bit of protection to the arm and the scarring caused by a serious post-op infection. Probably helps him mentally as well given the serious nature of the break and the wound suffered.  Impressive by him to come back as he has.

    the Pies are winning based on system. They have some average players out there. 

    How good was it to see Cox crack the naannies on the bench?

    Moore 8 clangers!

    JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

    They were just outplayed tonight 

    Have you tried to catch a domestic flight lately? I reckon you’d spend 3 hours on a plane to fly from tulla to Essendon !

    How about the peanut who obviously has way to much money and dropped a mill on the pies to win weeks ago to get back 400k. Who's laughing now

    I thought the Pies were slightly off their game from the first bounce.

    Sidebottom was moving like a glacier.

    And De Goooooey, terrible disposal and couldn't break the tackle of an auskicker

    Are they tiring? There last 3 rounds are tough games. Hopefully they cop a few injuries and get bundled out in straight sets…..the only thing better than that is us winning the flag. In fact the trifecta is the Pies going out, us winning and then getting Harley Reid. Can you imagine the celebrations? I mean seriously, that’s a life changing chain of events. Anything after that is of little consequence.

    So, can I be first to declare the opening of Colliwobble season?

    Bit early this year, but climate change is messing up all of these natural cycles.

    If there was any side that could have outbrownnosed Collingwood it would have to have been Carlton.

    Do frees against count as clangers? Moore gave away a few frees in the last.

    C'mon man.
    They were on fire early.
    Marking everything in the F50 and kicked 2.2 before Carlton scored.

    Also got a few doggy frees which helped. UMPIRE ALERT. Watch for #23. Some weird interpretations.

    I really don't want Power to win the minor premiership. 

    Were Pies fatigued last night or are Carlton a good side. Was their Power win legit or did Power rest too many players?

    They have had some soft opposition of late but they did look good last night. They have a good run home from here too.

    No chance port will finish top.  

    Tough game tonight, cats at kp next week.

    Easy last three games, but they are effectively 3 games behind the pies - 8 points plus 20 odd percentage. 

    Even if they don't lose another game, pies would have to drop 3 of their last 4 games.

    Don't think it will be a tough game for them tonite. No Rankine or Roshellli for the crows is a huge loss.

    What's going on in the Geelong - Freo game? Not free-to-air where I am, and I just flicked through stats and noticed 15 hit-outs already - on target for about 150 for the game!

    Is that that much of a slog down there?

    I won't be watching it again though.

    Geelong is not playing with the urgency of a team fighting for a spot in the 8.

    Cats defence is amateur. Freo cutting through with ease. 

    screw draft picks, would love the Cats to miss finals!

    • 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?
