For the first time I can think of Geelong is the lesser of two evils here. It also helps I won't have to watch Tom Hawkins waddle around.

And then he prances around high-tenning all of his teammates with a big [censored] eating grin after kicking a goal from 1m out

    I was thinking why would anyone pick north and then I remembered we're playing north and thought why would anyone pick north.

    I'm crippled with MFCSS and even I couldn't pick North.

    If we do lose to North, we will witness the greatest rise of MFCSS since 186.

    I'm still hoping we win all our games, including a big percentage earner on Sunday, Coll. don't win by much tomorrow, and lose the next three.  Meanwhile Port lose one game, and Bris don't have any percent boosters......and we end up minor Premiers!!!

    I know it doesn't matter if we're first or second....but I quite like being minor Premiers. Last time we went on and won the Major prize!!

    @WheeloRatings has us a 1.8% chance of being Minor Premiers. Sounds about right to me.

    I can't understand why Richmond are 'managing' Dusty tonight. This is a must win game for them. It would have made more sense to rest him last week as they had more chance of beating Western Bulldogs with him in the side than beating Melbourne with him in. Having said that, I assume he must have picked up a niggle last weekend. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

    Emma Kearney in The Age picks North every week, usually by 1 or 2 points. She is currently last on 104 , the leader is on 120. If she'd picked against North every week, she'd be leading the competition on 122.

    Loyalty has its downside.

    He was completely gassed in the last quarter.

    Maybe they know he couldn't back up and would be a liability in terms of not being able to cover ground.

    With the way the tigers are playing- up and down the ground, fast transition and ball in motion they can't afford to plonk dusty in the goal square and be down a runner.

    Same goes for cotchin

    Fair enough, but Dusty at 50% is still ahead of 90% of the rest of the Richmond team, especially given Western Bulldogs are missing significant players in their backline: Alex Keath (Injured), Josh Bruce (Injured), Ryan Gardner (Injured), although Liam Jones and Ed Richards are back.

    As far as Cotchin is concerned, I don't think he's even in their best 22 so him being managed is probably neither here nor there.

    I didn't say it was likely we'd finish so high, but possible.

    I always hope for the best.

    Sounds like you hold no hope!

    I think we'll finish second, don't believe that is no hope, just realistic.

    Do footy players go through some media training that make them inclined or contracted to use the word obviously?

    • 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?
