I hate when Tom Hawkins looks like a nice bloke. Makes it much harder to hate him. 

Don’t worry. I’ll find a way.

    I distinctly remember hearing the saying back in the 70's and it might have started then (or perhaps it goes back a long way)

    So it's at least 50 years old and I reckon the connection relates to the leading full forward and those who passed to that player in that position

    I reckon it goes back a lot further than the 70s, @Macca.

    The expression also recognises the skill and total control of the footy by the kicker in that he can deliver the ball so that it lands on his teammates chest lace in or out as desired.

    Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

    I should be studying up on Sydney ahead of next week but instead I'm watching Geelong hoping for every play to fail and every kick smothered.

    GWS will beat Carlton next win to make the finals. Green will destroy them. 

    Last time they met, Nic Newman kept Toby Greene to only 5 possessions.

    Tomorrow is a big game, if we lose I will back us in to beat the Swans but it will be a bloody tough game.

    Yeah I feel the same, stuck with Saint/Geelong. Would love nothing more for the cats to miss finals this year.

    #30 Geelong should go for weeks - reckless kick in danger.  Rather like King v White though missed the face.  This sort of [censored] needs to be stamped out even more than "dangerous tackles".

    Looks like the Cats went a year early with their Mad Monday theme.

    This is so funny, the reigning premiers can't even beat the Saints

    The commentators are confused.

    Saints are smashing them. 22 scoring shots to 11

    And that won’t happen again. GWS need to win to secure a finals spot. Carlton coming off two hard games. GWS coming off a bye playing Essendon.

    Saints missed two chances to ice the game in the last minute of Q3.  Two set shots from within range - behinds.

    • 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?
