Max Gawn is the demon helmsman. Best performance by a ruckman this season.

Viney just outstanding again 

He gives his all every time. He lives and breathes Melbourne. 

What a game. At 3/4 time I had n9 idea how this would land but it was one of the best games to watch. Cracking contest. 

 

Great fun that was

petty jvr and melks brilliant.

max second half was immense 

we ran out the game easily. Runners everywhere 

look out comp. We’re gunning for the flag

go dees

We didn’t start all that great, and it’s probably not ideal that we leaked nearly 100 points…

BUT

We were challenged by a team fighting for finals/with momentum and we steered the ship. No easy games from here. 

Importantly, we found our way to goals and it was exhilarating at times. Petty and Melksham were simply awesome. 

Even more importantly, very quietly, can you feel us cranking up??! 

CAN YOU!!??? 

Go Dees 🔥

 


That was a finals type match and both teams had everything to play for.  We prevailed comfortably in the end after being headed several times.  That’s what the fair dinkum contenders do!  Bring on September!

Great last quarter and Captain Max was amazing.

Good to see JVR play is best game thus far.

Same! We're going to be steamrolling them with Clarrie and Fritsch. 

Sparrow, Clarrie and Fritta make that team better on paper, pig too. Going to have some selection headaches soon.

Credit to goody. Even though Tommo had a tough one, he was rewarded this weekend. And thanks for trialling Petty once more.

The momentum changed in the 4th quarter. I think we came out to really make a statement. A hard fought comfortable win.

Petty not a forward hey???? 

Watch the” Petty can’t play forward” posters jump on the bandwagon now.

Max was sensational again and Viney is our bull.

Maybe Binman is right too with the loading, as we certainly ran away from them in the last.

Hopefully we can now run over teams, right through to the flag.

No!  he is the perfect Sub.

He is, but we are also a tall forward short.

See how many intercept marks Richmond got today in our forward line.

Keep Tomlinson back, drop Harmes/Woewodin/Jordon and move Smith forward.

  • 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?
