How gratifying it was to see Demon Sam Weideman top scoring for the Bombers with two of their three goals. Imagine what it would have looked like without his contribution

    They were saying we are a chance to play Collingwood on the Thursday night but what happens if we cop a concussion tomorrow that’s only 11 days so they wouldn’t be able to play hopefully if that did happen the afl wouldn’t schedule us on that day same goes for Carlton and gws

    This is like a 2 week bye with all these irrelevant games.

    AFL are lucky they have no real competition other than B grade movies

    PS: Gil etc will be thinking... imagine the excitement if 9 and 10 if not 11 and 12 were eligible for wild card play offs

    Whately brought this up on SEN this morning.

    I think his words were we'd tear the house down if say Gawn, Trac etc got concussed tomorrow and missed first final due to 12 day break.

    Gil's got and getting a lot wrong so wouldn't surprise me, but we'll know 9.00 pm-. ish tomorrow.

    Whateley also reckons Friday is the best day for such a final - Pies vs Dees anyway.

    I think of a Thursday final is on the cards it should not be allocated to the team with the minor premiership. And just on this, these things should not be made up on the fly.

    Go Norff !   lol

    Thursday night QF is absurd. Is it BS or a strong rumour. Presumably  Friday is a working day.  ffs

    If a key Melb player is concussed those dummies at AFL HQ better not shaft us. Of  course Carlton will have nothing to worry about their game will be 13 or 14 days out.

    Pert better get on top of this before those AFL exec morons schedule the QF's.

    Goody was clearly wrong about Maginness wanting the ball, he has racked up the possies, getting his first and only one, 30 seconds before halftime.

    If it’s Us against Pies, why would you schedule it before a school/ work day?

    It would be biggest game of the 4.

    That's rubbish, Carlton the AFL darlings get the Friday night?

    It doesn't make sense to have a Carlton v GWS/Sydney on the Friday when the Melbourne v Collingwood is more attractive.

    We should get the Friday night, they can give the Thursday night to one of the EF.

    GC by 6 points at the half.  A few scuffles as well.  I give Norf a chance

    As mentioned above as much and as I don't like Cwood, it's the team that finishes on top of the table that should get the Friday slot .

    If West Coast own pick 1 again, would pick 5 plus extras be enough for Reid? If we can get 4 off suns then maybe?? I'm torn about what result I want now.

    Imagine the excitement if Melbourne and Adelaide hadn't lost due to AFL incompetence and there was more clubs fighting for a spot in the 8 and other clubs jostling for position.........but hey, why fix the problem in front of you when you can distract people and create another.

    That’s something to worry about after we win the flag, Nasc

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
