    An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

    The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

    But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

    You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

    A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

    A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

    There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" !

    GO DEES !!!!!

    McVee is the find of the year for the Dees. Sublime skills and composure with the ball. A couple of those kicks in the last five minutes we’re clutch.

    I’m starting to believe. That last quarter was very reminiscent of late ‘21.

    Fitter, better, for longer. Sound familiar?

    Never saw Petty kicking 6, and Maxy what an effort. Picked the boys up and carried them in the second half.

    Put the big fella on ice for a week, no need to fly him to tassie and play spuds. Grundy can take the load for a week

    How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold.

    All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year.

    Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

    We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

    Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal.

    Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts

    Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year.

    Go you [censored] dees!

    Petty, Gawn magicians - and the rest of the team, led by Viney, would not give in to the Tigers resurgence and endeavour. What a great, appropriate pre-finals game. ANB consistently proved his worth in a linking team and paused play at perfect moments for team coverage. One could go on, but the main theme was 'team, team, team' and it was bloody brilliant.

      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?
